Pink Himalayan crystal salt is all the rage these days. It’s practically everywhere and can be found in edible form at the grocery store or even in special salt lamps that are said to promote health and healing. What makes Himalayan salt so popular and why it’s being touted over plain old table salt is the many benefits that it can provide our bodies with, that regular salt can’t.
To truly understand how Himalayan salt came to be, and why it’s a better alternative for us, you need to know a little bit of history. The Himalayas are a vast mountain range that were formed tens of millions of years ago when the huge Indian landmass collided with Asia.
The mountains have been steadily growing ever since then, at a rate of about 4-5 mm a year according to National Geographic, and they’re home to the highest elevation on Earth, Mount Everest. Over a thousand miles away from the world’s most famous peak, in northern Pakistan, lies the foothills of the Salt Range and the Khewra Salt Mine.
Millions of years ago a shallow sea evaporated and left behind tons of crystallized sea salt which over time became buried deep below the mineral rich mountains. This is where Himalayan pink sea salt comes from.
While the salt mines have been open and active for well over 100 years, it’s only recently that the immense health benefits of pink Himalayan sea salt have been widely recognized. The natural formation of the salt beds underground led to a number of trace minerals being added to it.
There are 84 minerals and trace elements found in pink Himalayan salt that include calcium, potassium, sulfates, zinc, copper, magnesium, iodine, iron, and more. These minerals, especially iron, are what gives the salt its distinctive pink color and makes it the most mineral dense type of salt in the world. Here’s some of the main health benefits that it offers:
1) Helps detox the body. In conjunction with water, salt helps our bodies move toxins out of healthy cells and into the bloodstream. From there our kidneys, spleen, and liver filter the toxins and impurities out of the blood and remove them from our systems.
2) Lowers blood pressure. Pink sea salt can actually help reduce blood pressure because it has less sodium per serving than regular table salt. The crystal structure of sea salt is larger than that of refined types, thus the crystals take up more room and fewer crystals amount to a serving, leading to less sodium per serving.
It turns out that switching from table salt to sea salt can lead to less sodium being consumed, without sacrificing taste, and lower blood pressure over time.
3) Aids in relaxation. Your mind, body, and muscles will feel better since sea salt’s composition allow it the be absorbed fast and efficiently into the bloodstream. This means tired, worn muscles are restored and replenished quickly and naturally, so your body is less stressed and can relax.
4) Helps with sinus and respiratory issues. A simple drink of sea salt dissolved in hot water can help clear up lingering sinus problems. It has also been shown to effectively improve respiratory conditions, such as asthma. Crystal salt rock lamps emit negative ions into the atmosphere which helps to purify and clean the air, and in turn clear up sinus issues.
There are several more benefits that pink Himalayan sea salt can offer your body. It has been shown to help people sleep better and even cuts down on the likelihood of a person developing varicose, or spider veins, by reversing damage done to veins.

Can You Figure Out How Many Girls Are In This Picture?

Take a look at this image and test your power of perception. If you can’t believe your eyes or get stumped, it’s because you’re looking at an optical illusion. By definition, illusions are images and sights which strongly disagree with physical reality.
When we suddenly realize that not all is as it appears, our brains light up, forcing us to pay extra attention to whatever it is that seems to be playing tricks on our eyes. In a more comprehensive sense, optical illusions are all about the eyes, brain, and perception. Specifically, the eyes visually perceive an image which the brain processes as not fitting in line or matching the stimulus source its emanating from.
In other words, it is when you look at something and end up seeing something else completely different. You look at X but think your seeing Y. In general, there are all sorts of different types of illusions and optical ones, also known as visual illusions, happen to be the most well known sub-category.
To experience one right now, check out the photo below. It’s the latest image that has managed to drive the internet crazy. Answer the simple question posed, “How many girls are there in this picture?,” and then pick the option that reflects your count. After you enter it, you’ll be able to see how many other people chose that same number and all of the other options as well.
It’s a fun way to exercise your mind and fool your senses, so have fun and enjoy!

This Is What Happens To Your Brain If You Eat One Pickle a Day For a Month!
image via – shutterstock.com
I love a good sour pickle, but had no idea that when naturally fermented, pickles could be the answer to HAPPINESS! This has nothing to do with the enjoyment one gets from their taste; pickles, like other naturally fermented foods actually have the ability to relieve anxiety and thus produce greater experience of joy. This is known as the “anxiolytic effect.”
Reported by “Smithsonian Magazine”, neurosis and anxiety can be indirectly altered by consuming pickles and other fermented foods, such as sauerkraut. This effect was scientifically studied at the College of William and Mary, by researcher Matthew Hilimire.
His results showed a significant reduction in social anxiety and neuroticism, in individuals who ate fermented foods daily. This “anxiolytic effect” was published in the “National Center for Biotechnology Information.”
The video you are about to watch below, does a fantastic job of explaining this phenomenon. It turns out that the stomach is actually a “second brain!” You may have heard that people who suffer from depression and benefit from anti-depressants, do so because their “serotonin” (which has been depleted) gets replenished.
Amazingly, 90% of the serotonin in our bodies is found in the stomach. Fermented foods have a positive effect on our digestive system due to their richness in probiotics, which in turn increases our serotonin!
It has been determined by scientists that a healthier stomach leads to a healthier brain. This occurs because of the boost in serotonin which increases happiness, by promoting healthier thinking and reducing distorted anxiety-laden thinking.
For a fuller explanation of this wonderful link between pickles and fermented foods and their impact on our sense of well-being, enjoy the following video.

She Went To The Salon To Get Her Hair Done. Minutes Later She Would Be Fighting For Her Life!

A trip to the hair salon is associated with pampering and an attractive outcome, whether it be a change orrefreshing of hair color or a cut that will give you the “oomph” that you need. The worst thing that you would have to worry about is being unsatisfied with the results…certainly nothing earth shaking in the scheme of things.
Worrying about whether you would make it out of the salon alive would certainly not be on your list of concerns. However, in certain salons, there does lie a relatively unknown risk to your health and potentially even your life! This danger was brought to light by one young woman, Elizabeth Smith, whose trip to the Blowbunny Salon in San Francisco, ended with her being rushed to the emergency room.
Upon arrival she was evaluated with a CT scan which showed that an artery in her neck had been damaged. The doctors explained to her that this had caused her to have a stroke! How in the world could this have happened from simply getting her hair washed at the salon sink?!
Apparently, this phenomenon is well-known to doctors and hair salon owners as well; it actually has been dubbed: “Beauty Parlor Stroke”. It is critical that salons have chairs that recline into a position that allows your neck to rest comfortably in an appropriate lip on the sink. Without ample support that leaves your neck at a healthy angle, anyone can be at risk for what happened to Elizabeth.
Listen to her story in the video below in which you will hear about her 8 month recovery, and her desire to warn others about this relatively unknown danger, so that this completely avoidable hazard, never has to cause damage to others. It should also be noted that adjustments should always be made for differences in height, that could also impact the angle of the neck.
Watch the video below and let us know what you think. Did you ever hear about anything like this?

Nobody Believed Her When She Described Her Creatures Strange Sound. So She Revealed THIS
image via – youtube.com
Arctic foxes are beautiful animals with white fur coats and soft bushy tails. A lesser known fact is that they also seem to have a great sense of humor and a contagious laugh that’s hard to not smile at when you hear it. The cute little guy in this video named Archer is proof of that. Video of him laughing has gone viral ever since his owner, 25 year old Krista Shafer of Battle Creek, Michigan, uploaded it to Vine.
In the clip Archer can be seen sitting on the floor among a pile of clothing. When Ms. Shafer’s boyfriend lets out a little chuckle in the background, the fox immediately joins in the laughter. Archer closes his eyes, tosses his head back, and giggles in delight as he rolls around on the floor!
The high pitched sounds he emits sound exactly like a person laughing and the sight of him is simply adorable. He looks like he just heard a funny story or the punchline to a good joke, you have to see and hear him to understand how truly human-like he sounds!
This isn’t a one-time thing for Archer, he laughs all the time, especially towards the end of the day when he’s tired and sleepy. According to Ms. Shafer he “usually starts giggling whenever my boyfriend laughs… he’s a very vocal, very loving, very happy fox.”
Judging by the clip of him cackling in delight, that looks to be the case. The video has also managed to make a lot of people happy and laugh along with it. In just 3 days after it was originally posted it has been viewed an astounding 29 million times and counting!
Ms. Shafer got Archer when he was just a kit, having bought him from a breeder in Indiana. While wild animals should remain in the wild where they belong, many foxes have been successfully domesticated. That’s because long ago they were kept for their fur before a switch led to them being raised instead as companion animals.
As such, Archer was never truly wild since his natural instincts have essentially been bred out of him and he wouldn’t be able to survive in the wild. Now he lives with his adoring caretaker and spends his days happily playing and laughing up a storm. Check out the adorable fox and see how funny his laugh is!

They All Laughed and Made Fun Of Him On TV. But How He Responds Leaves Everyone SPEECHLESS!
image via – facebook.com
We are living in times that sometimes make us wonder, ‘what has happened to our world’? In the current political atmosphere in the United States, the quality of the discourse has reached a new low, that for many, makes us question what has happened to aspirations for true morality, integrity and good works.
Has our culture become a celebration of ignorance, exclusion, embarrassment and ridicule?! The media is heavy with portrayal of the lowest common denominator, while people of heart, values and integrity are still a strong fiber in our nation. You are about to watch one individual, Johnny Georges, a farmer turned entrepreneur, pitching his invention to the “Shark Tank” panel.
Like other aspiring entrepreneurs he is trying to inspire one of the Sharks to partner with him in his “Tree T-Pee” company; his simple product not only helps farmers conserve water and electricity, but also has the potential to make a much larger ecological impact.
As he is asked the usual questions about cost of production, retail pricing etc., it becomes clear to most of the Sharks, that he is grossly underselling his product. What you will see in Johnny’s eyes, and what he says about fairness and goodwill to farmers, is both inspirational and unfortunately, unusual in our times.
His questionable business practices, in terms of the potential for “making a killing”, doesn’t resonate economically with most of the Sharks. However, the guest panelist John Paul DeJoria of Paul Mitchell fame, sees it differently.
The footage below will reaffirm your belief in the goodness of people.

THIS Pup Got On a Hammock In The Rain For The First Time. He Looks Up But Never Expected THIS!
image via – facebook.com
When it rains, it’s time for this Bulldog to play! The extremely excited tan and white ball of joy looks like he’s having the time of his life while trying out a backyard hammock in the pouring rain. He slips and slides down the fabric like it’s a seesaw and manages, for the most part, to keep up with it without tipping or flying off.
The sight of him jumping around on his unique new play toy is just too cute for words, check it out and see for yourself what an awesome time he’s having! The hilarious Bulldog’s name is Columbus and he lives with his human companions over in Hungary.
Even though most people and other animals try to not get wet and actively avoid the rain, Columbus sees the inclement weather as an opportunity to create his very own slip n’ slide. While his owner looks on and films from the dry safety of his house, the big puppy excitedly romps around on the hammock like it’s the greatest thing in the whole entire world.
He barks, chomps at the rain drops, and throws his weight around before finally biting the side of the hammock and collapsing in a wet, furry ball of exhaustion. Columbus has definitely found a way to make being out in the rain look like a whole lot of fun and if he keeps at it he’ll be in great shape and stay healthy for years to come.
He really puts to rest the common assumption that many people have, which is that Bulldogs are lazy because of their short, stout build and wrinkly folded skin. That’s often not the case, many of them absolutely love being active and jump at every chance they get to play around.
It’s no wonder that Bulldogs are one of the most popular and beloved dog breeds. They’re adorable, sweet, fun, and the videos of them in action are always pretty much guaranteed to be pure entertainment. So if you want to smile, don’t forget to check out his rainy day backyard antics.
Spread the happiness and enjoy!
