What if, once in your meal, there is no salt? Or less salt? The whole spirit of taste of the dish would be terminated, plus your mood will be shattered, right?
Salt is one of the essential ingredients in our meal. Not just because of the taste, it gives to our meal, but because of the health benefits of consuming one of its main components: Sodium (Na).
Some of the benefits of having Sodium in our diet:
- Contracting and relaxing the muscles.
- Maintaining Fluid Balance
- Prevents Low Blood Pressure
- Reduces Bacteria and infection
And many more.
But, the question is, do you really know what is the source of salt that you consume? How many impurities are in it? Or whether are you getting the essential nutrients from the salt or not?
There are 2 sources of extracting salt:
- Sea
- Mountain
Himalayan Salt vs Sea Salt
Sea Salt:

- Metabolic Disturbance
- Neurological Disease
- Pulmonary Disease
- Arthritis
- Cancer
- Alzheimer
And many more.
- It is highly processed, Refined, Bleached.
- Nutrient Content:
- According to the data, it is found that the traditional salt contains 97.5% of NaCl and the remaining 2.5%: Moisture absorbents + chemical added preservatives.
- Iodine is artificially added.
Himalayan Salt:
- Its Source and Benefits:
- The Himalayan salt is sourced directly from the great Himalayas.
- Comes from the rock salt deposits in Pakistan and some parts of Punjab.
- In Himalayan salt, there is no presence of microplastics, plus it is having high nutrient content than sea salt.
- Also, the source of salt is from the mines, because of that reason, the salt is in its purest form, and processing is not much required.

- Pink Himalayan Salt is rich in 80+ essential minerals.
