Himalayan Salt

From Medical News Today:

"Pink Himalayan salt is chemically similar to table salt. It contains up to 98 percent sodium chloride. The rest of the salt consists of trace minerals, such as potassium, magnesium, and calcium. These give the salt its light pink tint. These minerals also explain why Himalayan salt tastes different from regular table salt.

It can support:

• contracting and relaxing muscles
• maintaining proper fluid balance and preventing dehydration
• sending nervous system impulses
• preventing low blood pressure

Recent research has suggested that eating salt can reduce the risk of infection and kill harmful bacteria. One study on animals has also led researchers to infer that salt may have a positive effect on symptoms of depression."
