Eating Salt Before Sleep Does THIS to Your Body

[0:00]What happens when you eat salt right before bed? A lot of people don't realize that the sodium in sea salt lowers cortisol. Cortisol is a stress hormone that keeps you up at night. So anything that lowers cortisol is going to help you drift off into a wonderful sleep. People have this idea that salt is bad for the heart because it increases blood pressure. But they don't realize that low sodium can actually increase the pulse rate and even increase your blood pressure. You really need the right amount of salt, not too much, not too little. I consume about 3/4 of a teaspoon to one teaspoon of sea salt per day. And one last point about sodium, if you're deficient, your muscles will actually feel weaker, especially if you're climbing stairs or going up an incline.
