This is the eighth installment of our alkaline foods series where we feature a food from A-Z, sharing the benefits of the food along with suggested recipes to try!
H is for Himalayan Salt
According to Dr. Robert O. Young, “Today’s common table salt is a poison…Most common table salt is made up of chemicals that pollute your body and wreak havoc on your health. Your table salt is actually 97.5% sodium chloride and 2.5% chemicals such as moisture absorbents, and iodine. Dried at over 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, the excessive heat alters the natural chemical structure of the salt causing the potential for a myriad of health challenges in your body.”
Himalayan Salt contains all of the 84 elements found in your body, is unpolluted and unprocessed, and holds the original vibrational frequencies. When doctors tell you to reduce your sodium intake they are not referring to natural Himalayan and sea salts which your body actually needs.

- Regulates the water levels within the body for proper functioning
