Himalayan Salt vs. Table Salt: Which is Better?

While many people are aware that regular table salt is bad for you, they assume all other salts must be, too. That’s simply not true. Pink Himalayan salt has a plethora of health benefits and a great flavor, too. Below are some benefits of the pink Himalayan salt above some health concerns that arise from table salt consumption.
