Should i drink water with salt right after wake up?
Sources:
A small pinch of salt in water after waking may help if you feel lightheaded or shaky, and may be especially useful if you drink caffeine while fasting. It isn’t necessary for everyone; be cautious about adding sodium if you have high blood pressure.
- Caffeine and sodium: Caffeine can increase fluid and sodium loss, which may contribute to jitters or a “low blood sugar” feeling; Huberman suggests water with a tiny pinch of salt alongside coffee.
- His morning routine: He says he drinks an electrolyte mix in water first thing after waking.
- Caution: Know your blood pressure; people with high blood pressure or pre-hypertension should be especially cautious about increasing sodium.
