India, May 26 -- C onsuming too much salt is associated with high blood pressure and a higher risk of developing heart disease and kidney issues. That is why the American Heart Association recommends adults restrict sodium consumption (a key component of salt) to a maximum of 2,300mg a day. But there is one type of salt that is gaining attention due to its potential health benefits. Himalayan salt, a pink-coloured variety of salt, is being mixed with water to lose weight. In fact, there is a pink salt trick recipe that many social media users are talking about, having dubbed it the natural Mounjaro. The diabetes management drug is also known to have weight loss benefits. The pink salt trick recipe is a homemade detox drink recipe. As per research published in Heliyon, it is advised for people with hypertension (high blood pressure) and mineral deficiencies to consume pink salt. With less sodium and more calcium, potassium, iron and magnesium than the table salt, the pink salt recipe comprises Himalayan salt, water and lemon juice - each ingredient known for its own weight loss benefits. The pink salt trick recipe is generally safe for healthy people when consumed in moderation. But it can cause side effects if taken in excess Half or one-fourth teaspoon of pink salt in one glass of warm water is good enough. "Have it in the morning before breakfast. But if you are on a low sodium diet, consult your doctor or dietitian before following the pink salt trick recipe," advises the expert. Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is the brand name of the injectable medicine used on a weekly basis to help adults manage type 2 diabetes and lose weight. Some may compare the pink salt trick recipe to Mounjaro due to the potential weight loss benefits, but the medication is not used in the drink. "The 'natural pink salt Mounjaro drink' may help with weight loss, although it is unlikely to deliver the same results as tirzepatide," Jain shares. For more such stories, visit healthshots.com...
