HIMALAYAN PINK SALT VS SEA SALT- 6 MAJOR DIFFERENCES

by ORGALIFE FOOD

What is Himalayan pink salt?

Pink Himalayan salt “comes from the Khewra Salt Mine in Pakistan, where the mineral content there produces a unique pink coloration. In terms of its composition, pink Himalayan salt does have traces of more beneficial minerals than sea salt. While sea salt contains bits of 72 particles, Himalayan pink salt  has “all 84 essential trace elements required by your body,” 

What is sea salt?

Sea salt is created through the evaporation of ocean water or saltwater lakes. Unlike table salt, which is mined from the ground and processed to filter out excess minerals and include anti-clumping additives, sea salt gets minimal processing. This accounts for its large, crystalline shape and recent popularity among health-conscious consumers and food manufacturers.

Which is better for your health?

At first glance, the microplastics, metals, and fewer helpful elements that are found in sea salt seem to indicate that pink Himalayan salt is the smarter selection. Even though sea salt is not worse for your health, the benefits of pink Himalayan salt outweigh that of sea salt. However, while pink Himalayan salt is composed of a greater number of helpful elements than sea salt, “the trace minerals that give unique taste or coloration are present in too minute a quantity to have any proven health impact.

How do we choose between them?

Salt, chemically known as sodium chloride, regardless of its source is vital for health. Salt helps our body regulate blood pressure, assist in nerve function, and helps your cells perform their function to keep organs healthy.” Since sea salt and pink Himalayan salt are both excellent sources of sodium chloride, select the salt you most desire!

Benefits of Himalayan pink salt

Sole water to flush out toxins: The best way to experience the benefits of Himalayan salt is to make sole water.  It is water that is fully saturated with natural salt. Take a jug and fill 1/4th of it with Himalayan salt. Then add water to top it up completely. Seal the jug with a lid and let it sit overnight. By morning, the salt will dissolve in the water and if there is a trace of salt left at the bottom of the jar, it indicates that the water has completely absorbed all the salt and is fully saturated.

Now, mix 1 teaspoon of this sole water in a regular glass of water and consume it every morning. Drinking this water helps in balancing the pH levels in the body, flushes out toxins, improves your energy, and keeps you hydrated at all times.  

Regulates blood sugar and hormonal balance: A daily dose of Himalayan salt can ensure the proper flow of fluids in the body. A good balance of minerals and hormones, can help in improving your insulin sensitivity and prevent sudden

 Improves digestion: The process of digestion actually begins in the mouth and Himalayan salt can help activate your salivary glands which release amylase (an enzyme that helps digest carbs).

Salt therapy for respiratory problems: Salt therapy is a process that utilizes pure Himalayan pink salt to treat respiratory diseases. In some cases salt inhaler is used for the same while in others, the person is made to sit in a room full of salt-rich air. When this salty air is inhaled, the particles travel through the entire respiratory system, and the antibacterial and antimicrobial properties of salt clean your lungs and sinuses. Salt therapy is also used to treat seasonal allergies and chest congestion. You can even use Neti pot with the help of which warm salty water runs through your nasal cavities and cleans them. Himalayan salt kills bacteria and bonds with the contaminants to eliminate them.

How Is Pink Himalayan Salt Used?

In general, you can cook with pink Himalayan pink salt just like you would with regular table salt. Put it in sauces and marinades or add it to your food at the dinner table. Some people even use pink Himalayan salt as a cooking surface. Large blocks of the salt can be purchased and used to grill, sear, and impart a salty flavor to meats and other foods.
