Arguably the best, most readily available salt that one can purchase in the world today is Himalayan salt which has been formed over millions and millions of years in the Himalayas. There are 118 elements known to science and Himalayan salt is said to contain 84 in total. It contains Calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium, iodine, zinc, and iron amongst others.

Furthermore, despite sodium having such a poor reputation because of processed foods, unprocessed sodium is absolutely vital to our health. It helps regulate blood pressure, heart function and nerve transmissions amongst other things.

Purchasing advice

Himalayan salt can be purchased in health food stores or online, and is usually sold as fine or coarse grains. Fine-grained Himalayan salt is recommend, since the small, unobtrusive crystals are far easier to incorporate into most meals. When purchasing your salt, remember to check that it is pink in color; this indicates that the salt is dense in minerals.
