A study, conducted by the Dept. of Experimental Medicine Charité-Universitätsmedizin, Berlin found that sodium depletion had the power to cause “…at first a stimulation and then exhaustion of the sympathetic system” (Blank, et al, 2012). This means that lack of salt can cause the body’s sympathetic nervous system, or “fight-or-flight” system, to go into overdrive.
By adding salt to a deprived body, you can ensure that your parasympathetic nervous system is engaged instead, allowing for a good night’s sleep and less grogginess when you wake up in the morning.
The Simple Solution for Restful Sleep
Instead of reaching for the tablets or suffering silently when insomnia strikes, try this simple mixture each night before bed:
Mix together raw, organic honey (2 teaspoons) with sea salt (1/4 teaspoon) and eat up. That’s all there is to it!
It may sound too good to be true, but the proof is in the empirical pudding—the research I mentioned above has shown that these two ingredients can improve sleep and make for a well-rested tomorrow. By combining the two together, you can beat back insomnia with a one-two punch powered by Mother Nature.
