  1. There are only trace amounts of minerals in unrefined salt, many of which measure at less than a part per million. To benefit from those trace minerals, you'd have to consume unhealthy levels of sodium chloride. There are much better, whole food sources of all of those minerals. Salt is essential for proper function of the body. Most of the salt you need you'll get from consuming food. Added salt should be kept in check, whether it's sea salt, Himalayan salt, iodized salt, etc. While there are some disputes in the medical literature about how much salt one should ingest, Americans have a problem with eating way too much salt, not too little.
