Understanding these timeframes can help balance your body and mind for optimal health. Vata (2 a.m. to 6 a.m./Sunrise): This is a time of lightness and movement.

The Silent Health Revolution: Switching from Table Salt to Himalayan Rock Salt

Salt is an essential ingredient in our lives—so vital that we cannot survive without it. But did you know the type of salt you use could make a huge difference to your health? Let’s explore why table salt may be harming your body and how Himalayan rock salt can serve as a healthier alternative. What’s Wrong with Table Salt? Unlike naturally occurring salts, table salt is stripped of its essential minerals during the refining process. In this process, potassium—a critical mineral for your body—is removed, disrupting the natural sodium-potassium balance necessary for regulating blood pressure. Sodium and potassium work together in harmony to maintain a balanced blood pressure. However, when sodium levels are excessively high, they interfere with this balance, leading to hypertension—a condition that has become alarmingly common in households today. To make matters worse, table salt undergoes chemical processing and bleaching, during which harmful substances such as ammonia and aluminum are often added. Aluminum, a known toxin, has… Continue reading The Silent Health Revolution: Switching from Table Salt to Himalayan Rock Salt
