Salt has many vital functions, one of them is that it nourishes the adrenals. The adrenals are 2 walnut-shaped glands that sit on top of the kidneys. They are responsible for the maojrity of hormones involved in energy level and stress management, such as adrenalin, noradrenalin and cortisol.
Cortisol ist the major stress hormone. At the same time cortisol is very important for your energy level. You need cortisol to work, train and survive. Low cortisol levels is NOT the goal. Optimal cortisol levels is what you need. That means high cortisol in the morning, according to our biorhythm, cortisol should bet he highest between 6-8pm decreasing gradually throughout the day. With the lowest point at about 10pm, the time we should go to bed and fall asleep.
You want to know if you fit the optimal cortisol curve? Here is an easy question: Do you wake up by yourself between 6-8 am every day? If not, you most likely suffer low morning cortisol.
You want to have more energy in the morning and wake up by yourself full of energy…. Reset your biorhythm.
There are a few steps and tricks to do this. The most efficient one is:
Start your day with a ¼ tsp. colored salt, and a shot of lime juice in a glass of water. This ist he most simple change with the greatest overall effect.
Any colored salt works. White is not a color. Celtic Sea Salt which is grey. Or Himalayan Salt, as it is easily available. Choose the one that is available to you.
The lime juice has a great effect on pH level. Despite the acidic taste, it has an alkaline effect metabolically. At night our pH drops, which is necessary, especially to optimize hepatic biostransformation. In the morning the Ph has to get more alkaline again, mainly to optimize energyproduction in the cells. So an optimal pH level, especially in the morning, leads to more energy and better phase ½ biotransformation. Who doesn’t need that?
