This is What Happens To The Body When You Eat Pink Himalayan Salt​

By Amanda Ennett
Original article published on FitLife.tv republished with permission. 
Imagine everyone sitting down for a big family feast. The best china set gently upon silk cloth, crystals brimming with fresh apple-cinnamon-ginger juice. An array of baked, steamed and sautéed vegetables decorate the table. Suddenly Grandma reaches for the salt, startled she rears back and exclaims, “Why is the salt PINK?!”
Oh Grandma, “It’s Himalayan salt, and it’s wonderful!”
OriginsThe Himalayan mountain range stretches across Asia passing through China, Nepal, Myanmar, Pakistan, Bhutan, Afghanistan, and India. Most people associate the Himalayans with Mount Everest, the highest peak on this planet, but here is something new to think about- salt.
Once upon a time (a couple of hundreds of millions of years ago) crystallized sea salt beds, now deep within the Himalayans, were covered by lava. Aside from being kept it in a pristine environment that has been surrounded by snow and ice year round, the lava is thought to have protected the salt from modern-day pollution leading to the belief that Himalayan Pink salt is the purest salt to be found on earth. It is now hand-mined from the mountains and brought to the culinary market (1).
Why Pink?The many hues of pink, red and white are an indication of this salt’s rich and varying mineral and energy-rich iron content (2).
BenefitsIn the same manner that vitamins and minerals are perfectly packaged in fruits and vegetables, because this salt was formed naturally the minerals within the sodium work in synergy.
(Synergy is the interaction of multiple elements in a system to produce an effect different from or greater than the sum of their individual effects.)
  • Iodine – Natural salts are rich in iodine, so it doesn’t need to be artificially added in.
  • Less sodium consumed per serving – Himalayan salt is made of the same components as table salt but since the crystal structure is larger than refined salt, and by volume- this salt therefore, has LESS sodium per 1/4 t. serving- because the sea salt crystals or flakes take up less room on a teaspoon than highly refined tiny table salt grains.
  • Packs a hearty 80+ minerals and elements – Himalayan salts are mineral packed crystals which formed naturally within the earth made up of 85.62% sodium chloride and 14.38% other trace minerals including sulphate, magnesium, calcium, potassium, bicarbonate, bromide, borate, strontium, and fluoride (in descending order of quantity) (3).
Because of these minerals Himalayan pink salt can:
  • Create an electrolyte balance
  • Increases hydration
  • Regulate water content both inside and outside of cells
  • Balance pH (alkaline/acidity) and help to reduce acid reflux
  • Prevent muscle cramping
  • Aid in proper metabolism functioning
  • Strengthen bones
  • Lower blood pressure
  • Help the intestines absorb nutrients
  • Prevent goiters
  • Improve circulation
  • Dissolve and eliminate sediment to remove toxins (3)
It is even said to support libido, reduce the signs of aging, and detoxify the body from heavy metals.
Pink Salt vs. Sea SaltEven though pink salts come from the mountains, they are technically sea salts as well. All salt comes from a salted body of water—namely, an ocean or salt-water lake. However, Himalayan salt is said to be the purest form of sea salt.
Why Table Salt is InferiorCommercial refined salt is not only stripped of all its minerals, besides sodium and chloride but is also chemically cleaned, bleached and heated at unnecessary high temperatures.
In addition, it is treated with anti-caking agents which prevent salt from mixing with water in the salt container. These agents also prevent dissolving within our system leading to build up and then deposit in organs and tissue, causing severe health problems.
Finally, the iodine that is added into salt is usually synthetic which is difficult for your body to process properly. Shockingly under U.S. law, up to 2% of table salt can be additives. (4) 
The Many Uses of Pink SaltCooking and CuringUse pre-ground salt or grinders like any other salt.
Salt SlabsUsed as serving platters, the slabs will impart an enhanced salt taste and mineral content. Chilled: decorate with fruits, sushi, vegetables or cheese. Frozen: present cold desserts and even sorbets. Heated: use the slabs to sear vegetables, shrimp, fish fillets or thinly sliced beef or even to fry an egg. The dense salt blocks conduct heat beautifully with near perfect heat distribution (3).
Best of all, Himalayan salt is naturally anti-microbial, so clean up requires just a quick scrub or rinse.
DecorationUse the salts in containers, as décor crystals and sprinkled on food for presentation.
BathingThrow in the tub for a detoxifying Himalayan salt bath. The replenishing nutrients stimulate circulation and soothe sore muscles. Naturally rich in 80+ nourishing and skin-replenishing minerals, bathing with pink bath salt is a healing and therapeutic experience for mind and body (3).
Potpourri Holders and Essential Oil DiffusersMany on-line sites sell beautiful home décor featuring the pink salt as crystal rocks.
Air purificationCrystal rock lamps for air purification are also found and sold on-line.
Hopefully, now you will not be as shocked as Grandma when you reach for the salt shaker and find pink crystals staring back at you!
If you eat meat, brining should be in your bag of tools. Brining makes meat very juice and succulent! Here’s is an extremely simple recipe for it (3).
Basic Low Sodium Brine For Pork and Poultry(Brine will work for up to 8 lbs. of protein.)
Ingredients
  • 1 gallon water
  • 3 ounces sea salt
  • 3 ounces sugar (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon citrus zest (lemon, lime or orange – optional) (3)
Instructions
  1. Add the salt, sugar and other aromatics to a pot and bring the water to a simmer until the salt and sugar have dissolved.
  2. Remove the pot from the heat and chill before using the brine.
  3. Let your protein brine for 6 hours.
  4. Drain the protein, and let it rest and air dry in the fridge for 2 hours.
  5. Roast, broil or grill as you would! (3)

    Mama to my crew of 5 delightful people whom I am home educating and homesteading with.
    We hobby farm with milk goats and Great Pyrenees livestock guard dogs and occasionally calves, chickens or turkeys.
    My lifelong passions are of studying and sharing knowledge in the field of natural health using herbs and essential oils and natural skin care.  I have been a creator of natural soaps, balms, lotions  and healing salves from truly natural scratch ingredients, (you can see my products on this site) and a How-to teacher of same.  I have been using, and teaching about Naturally Amazing  therapeutic essential oils for 20 years.   In that time, I have seen a large amount truly amazing natural health and skin condition results achieved by people using these essential oils and my Pamper Me Naturally products that contain them. 
    I enjoy helping people find the information they seek thru individual counseling, class teaching and printed materials.  I hold a Christian faith world view with the belief that everyone has a right to choose and live out their own beliefs as long as they don't infringe on the right of others to do the same. I believe that peace thru positive and encouraging interactions is much needed in this world.
