Himalayan salt become so popular

 

Himalayan Salt is the highest quality salt available and is mined from deep underground mines located high above the tree line. These mines are located at a higher elevation than the oceans where the sun's rays do not reach causing the evaporation rate to slow down resulting in pure precipitation (salt). Since these mines cannot be accessed by any kind of machinery due to extreme conditions, they are hand-dug out with shovels and pickaxes. The climate of these mountains pose great danger to miners and their families because heavy winds, strong rains, avalanches, landslides, and earthquakes are all common occurrences.

 The mines are guarded around the clock by armed guards and the government has put strict regulations on mining practices, however, due to corruption, these rules aren't always enforced. Most people believe that Himalayan salt is more potent than conventional table salt, but this isn't entirely true. Himalayan salt is about 60% sodium chloride while ocean salt is only 30%. If you look closely at the ingredients list on the back of the table salt container, you'll notice that the first ingredient listed is actually water....which means it's impossible to extract the 100% mineral content from the ocean.

 So if we don't have access to 100% mineral content from our oceans, then where does the myth of Himalayan salt coming from? Well, let me explain. There were several large scale attempts to mine and process the sea salt to create what is now known as "commercial salt". These efforts started in the early 1900s and continued until the 1960s, but none was successful. In fact, many of them ended in failure. 

 However, I've heard rumors that some companies still try to produce Himalayan salt today, but since it contains large amounts of radioactive material and dangerous chemicals, no one wants to risk themselves and their families' lives just to get rich off of such a product. So, how did Himalayan salt end up becoming so popular? Well, after years of research and testing, scientists discovered that the chemical composition of Himalayan salt contained trace levels of radioactive elements like Radium 226 and Radon 222. These particular radionuclides are naturally occurring and are highly absorbed by human lungs, thus making Himalayan salt a natural way to protect ourselves from radiation damage.

 In addition, there have been numerous studies that state that Himalayan salt helps us absorb nutrients better from food, and especially from vegetables. These nutrients include Vitamin C, Zinc, Iron, Copper, and Manganese, which are all essential for optimal wellness.

 Additionally, Himalayan salt has been shown to increase blood flow to the brain resulting in improved cognitive function and memory retention.
