Which salt should I use with my food? Is Himalayan salt just a gimmick? Is the added iodine in Iodized salt beneficial?
The type of salt you use is somewhat a matter of preference, but I can share my thoughts to help you make your own determination. 
Iodine is important for thyroid health. In iodized salt, you aren't getting natural iodine, you're getting a chemical version that's fortified into the rock salt. Ideally, you would get the appropriate iodine from the foods you eat rather than a chemical additive, but for some, that may not be feasible.
Himalayan salt is a natural salt, given its pink hue due to its mineral content. The iron, magnesium, and calcium content are small but still present.
When it comes to the body, natural is always better than a chemical. Even trace amounts of a mineral that enriches the body are better than a fortifying agent.
So, sprinkle wisely. Your body deserves the best nature has to offer!
Happy Friday!
Much Love,

We were using Himalayan salt daily until about 2 years ago when we started see all these reports about it being bad. Any truth In this or was it disinfo because it's so good?
ReplyDeleteHimalayan is perfectly fine and gives you a touch of minerals as well. Carry on. :-)
DeletePersonally, I'm a fan of Herbamare herbal salt. It's seasalt mixed with fresh herbs that are dried and then ground to a powder. It also contains kelp, a seaweed naturally rich in iodine, so it's kind of naturally fortified. I also like seasoning with naturally brewed soy sauce, because of the umami flavor it imparts to the food and the extra protein and minerals from the soy beans.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds amazing!! I've never heard of it.
DeleteIt's mostly used in northern Europe, but there is a US distributor as well
DeleteYou can buy it on Amazon. link
