Raw Himalayan Pink Salt $6 – Now Available at Loya
After thousands of years we are coming to realize what natives of the ancient mountain ranges already knew in terms of the benefits of including the ‘right kind of salt’ in their diet. Just like we discovered the dangers of the ‘fat free’ diet and realized the importance of including the ‘right kind of fats’ in our diet, similarly we are on the verge of discovering the dangers of a ‘salt free’ diet, and about to realize the importance of including the ‘right kind of salt’ in our diets.
Himilayan Pink Salt which comes from Himalayan mountains of Pakistan dates back to over 250 million years and has a rich mineral content that includes over 84 minerals and trace elements such as: calcium, magnesium, potassium, copper and iron which cause its unique pink color. During the Jurassic era, salt from the ancient ocean was pushed towards the northerm part of the mountain range into a high plateau and was compacted with magma fluids originating from deep within the Earth. Various mineral filtration enriched this salt over the years to produce what we now call the Himalayan Pink Salt. This salt is raw and pure and is harvested by hand.
According to Minnesota Wellness Publications, a nonprofit health and wellness organization, Himilayan Pink Salt contains “eons of stored sunlight energy,” which, when combined with spring water and consumed, provides the “complex mineral foundation for life and energy, to be maintained and sustained.”
Intake of salt plays an important role in supporting vital biological processes but the high sodium content in table salt poses serious health risks. Pink salt on the other hand contains significantly less sodium per serving (84% vs 98% intable salt) and its consumption is said to provide essential minerals, trace elements and support proper nutrient absorption which is fundamental for vibrant health.
- Commercial refined salt is not only stripped of all its minerals but is also chemically cleaned, bleached and heated. Pink salt is collected in its ray unfiltered form which keeps all of its precious 84 minerals intact.
- Today’s table salt is treated with anti-caking agents which cause build up and deposition of salt in organs and tissues.
- Synthetic iodine is added to table salt which hinders the body’s ability to absorb it whereas Pink Salt is naturally rich in iodine and doesn’t need to be fortified.
- Pink Salt’s inherent minerals and trace elemnts are available in colloidal form, meaning they are so small your cells can readily absorb them which makes this salt ‘perfect’ for all our culinary needs.
