Salt is More Important Than You Think
                             

Salt is a very important mineral the body needs to help us in digestion, sleeping, energy and more.  Sodium (salt) deficiency and its accompanying low blood pressure has been shown to be related to many health conditions including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Salt, preferably mineral salt, Real Salt or sea salt without added dextrose or aluminum, can help alleviate some of the symptoms, although it is not a cure. If salt makes a difference in your energy level, this can be an important clue to an alert health professional that low salt could be a factor in your illness.

Salt cravings can indicate low adrenal function, one of the causes of fatigue. Low calcium and potassium can also cause low adrenal function.

Heavy fatigue may come on suddenly, in which one can barely move but can’t sleep, accompanied by low blood pressure, nausea, depressed appetite, and cold hands and feet. A glass of salt water (1/2 to 1 tsp. of mineral or sea salt in a glass of water) can relieve these symptoms within 10 -30 minutes.

Chloride found in salt is used by the body to make HCI (hydrochloric acid) in the stomach which is crucial to proper digestion, especially of proteins.
