Himalayan salt contains iron, calcium, iron, and magnesium.

Lemons contain vitamin C, potassium, fiber, etc.

If you are fasting, it may be a good idea to get those electrolytes. Even if not, this seems like a healthy drink; certainly better what I people see drinking at my office.

People might not want to macro dose iodine, so that rules out table salt.

Most importantly: it tastes good!

> According to one estimate, Himalayan salt is 98% sodium chloride, with negligible levels of minerals such as magnesium, potassium and calcium.

And as far as taste go, I can just taste the lack of iodine.

If I had to recommend an alternative, for those that are not doing IF, eat a kiwi (double the amount of vitamin c, way more fibres) and some nuts (magnesium and potassium).
