Salt Water in the Morning

Drink water with a small pinch to about half a teaspoon of salt, often first thing in the morning and sometimes during fasting or before a workout. The idea is to improve hydration and sodium balance, which may help with lightheadedness, shakiness, low blood pressure, or reduced alertness when sodium intake is low.

Many people find that the kind of lightadedness, the shakiness that's accustomed with having slightly low blood sugar can be offset by taking a half teaspoon or so of sea salt or even just a tiny pinch of salt and putting into some water and drinking it.
