Andrew explains how ingesting salt can help manage mental and physical state during the fasting portion of intermittent fasting, and how it stabilizes blood volume and glucose levels. A small pinch of salt in water, ideally with lemon or lime juice, can offset lightheadedness and shakiness caused by low blood sugar, and make you feel better immediately.
