9. Himalayan Salt
Salt is essential to life. The human body must have salt in order to survive. However, there are many differences between the highly processed and refined salt that is commonly found in our foods and in table salt, and the unrefined, more natural salt such as sea salt and Himalayan salt. Processed salt can promote damaging health effects while Himalayan salt can assist with many biological processes such as the transport of nutrients to and from the cells of your body, increasing the cells in your brain that are responsible for your long-term planning and creative centers in your brain. It can also help to regulate the body’s blood pressure, supports the function of your adrenal glands, and helps your brain communicate with your muscles so you can move on demand.
Natural salt that is not processed, such as Himalayan salt, is about 85 percent sodium chloride and 15 percent natural trace minerals. There are 84 of them including phosphorus, silicon, and vanadium. After exercising or on hot days, or anytime you find you are sweating profusely, you can make your own healthy “sports” drink and replace those lost electrolytes and minerals by simply mixing a pinch of this healthy salt with the juice of half a lemon in a glass of water.
