Health Benefits of Himalayan Salt Minerals
May 1, 2011Health Benefits of Iodine, Potassium and other Minerals in Himalayan Crystal Salt
Aside from the "salt" part of salt--sodium chloride-- Himalayan Crystal Salt provides a multitude of trace minerals, essential to the well being of our bodies.
I thought you'd like to know how some of these minerals function in the body, as well as the symptoms that result from lack of each particular mineral, so when you eat the salt and drink Sole, you'll know how all those minerals are helping your body to health.
The essential importance of minerals and trace minerals is largely underestimated. Their order of importance in regards to a healthy body organism is equal to that of vitamins. Our usual diet of processed and refined foods does not provide a sufficient supply of these vitally important minerals and trace minerals, thus our metabolism is affected by lack of these. Himalayan Crystal Salt is an excellent supplement to provide these minerals in a form that can be easily assimilated by the body.
