What is the salt to water ratio? How much salt water should I drink in the morning?

Andrew Huberman suggests specific guidelines for the ratio of salt to water and the overall quantity to drink in the morning.

Salt to Water Ratio:

• Amount of Salt: About half a teaspoon of sea salt.
• Amount of Water: 16 to 32 ounces of water, ideally at room temperature 1.

Quantity:

• Minimum Quantity: At least 16 ounces of water mixed with a small amount of sea salt.
• Preferred Quantity: Up to 32 ounces depending on personal preference and hydration needs 1.

This practice helps maintain electrolyte balance, especially if you're consuming caffeine or exercising regularly in the morning. Adjusting the water temperature to room temperature can also make it easier to drink the required amount 1 2.

Always consult with a healthcare professional before making significant changes to your diet, especially if you have any underlying health conditions such as hypertension.
