- Replace table salt with Himalayan crystal salt or sea salt
Himalayan pink crystal salt is far superior to traditional iodized salt.
* Contains the same 84 natural minerals and elements found in the human body
* Not exposed to toxins and impurities since it has been maturing over thousands of years under
intense tectonic pressure
* Its minerals are tiny enough for our cells to easily absorb because they exist in a colloidal
form
* Can assist in many bodily functions (such as reducing muscle cramps, promoting blood sugar
health and promoting healthy pH in your cells)
Sea salt is also a better choice over regular table salt.
- Contains about 80 mineral elements that the body needs
- Has nutrients and minerals that help your body preserve the blood cells
Other alternatives to table salt are Kosher salt, kelp, or dulse/dulce
