Yes to Himalayan Pink Salt

Salt...

• is delicious
• enhances the flavour of meals
• is present in huge quantities in the majority of packaged foods

Can actually be good for you

If it's the right type.

As always, we are aiming for as close to nature intended as possible.

This type of REAL salt is good for your body.

But not in excessive amounts, it is good for you as part of a balanced healthful, whole foods diet.

If you still eat packeted, processed foods you'll be getting heaps of the chemically altered salt, in which case you're just overloading your body with excess salt (from processed and packeted foods, plus what you put on your meals).

Himalayan Pink Salt Crystals and Unrefined Sea Salts

• are an excellent source of trace elements and minerals, including calcium, potassium and magnesium.
• Maintain fluid balance in the body
• Provide replacement electrolytes whenever you sweat heavily
• Is full of energy-rich iron
• Naturally contains iodine, does not require it to be chemically added in
• Regulate water content inside and outside of cells
• Lower blood pressure
• Aid thyroid function, preventing goitres
• Prevent muscle cramping
• Balances PH levels in the body

and so many other benefits!

Why white table salt is inferior;

• It has been chemically altered and stripped of all it's minerals except sodium and chloride
• It has also been chemically cleaned, bleached and heated at incredibly high temperatures, removing any remaining nutrients
• It also has anti-caking agents added to prevent it from clumping, generally aluminium is used. These agents also stop it from dissolving in our body system, causing it to accumulate in our organs and tissues, creating chronic health issues.

Yuck!

So say YES to real sea salts!
