Slightly Increase Sodium Intake for Anxiety or Stress if Appropriate

If feeling anxious, especially if related to low blood pressure or stress, slightly increasing sodium intake may help; do this through cleaner sources such as a little sea salt in water or salting food more, not processed foods or salty-sweet foods.

1 / 1

if you're feeling anxious... that slightly increasing sodium intake, again, I would encourage people to do this, not in the context of processed foods and drinks, but ideally in the form of maybe a little bit of sea salt and water or salting one's food a little bit more
