Shalini Passi’s Black Salt Elixir: Health Hack or Hype.
Following her recent stint on Netflix’s “Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives,” Shalini Passi, the art collector, has become the talk of the town. Her revelations about her dietary habits have piqued the interest of many, particularly her claims about the benefits of kala namak, or Indian black salt.
Passi, known for her meticulous attention to her health and wellness, has been vocal about her fondness for this mineral-rich salt. “Kala namak is the biggest detox for your health. Add it with lemon and water. It removes acidity from the body, alkalizes the body, and it removes all water retention.
It is amazing,” she told PinkVilla. To find out, we consulted Jinal Patel, a dietitian at Zynova Shalby Hospital in Mumbai, who shed some light on the potential benefits of this unique seasoning.
“Indian black salt, known as kala namak, combines an array of minerals that are not only tantalizing to the palate but are also used for ‘detoxification,'” Patel explained. “When infused with antioxidants and vitamin C-rich lemon, it creates a refreshing tonic that aids in flushing out toxins from the body.”
“Instead of sipping on it the entire day, restrict it to 3-4 times. Don’t just opt for detox water because it’s trending on social media. Consult an expert who will help you understand its benefits and then only start with it briefly,” she advised.
While Passi’s endorsement of the black salt elixir has piqued the interest of many, it’s essential to approach any health-related claims with a degree of caution. As with any dietary or wellness regimen, it’s always best to consult a qualified healthcare professional before making significant changes to one’s lifestyle.
