What is the function of light salt water?
Drink salt water such as ginseng chicken soup in the morning. If the human body sweats a lot, some sodium ions and potassium ions in the body can be lost, leading to hyponatremia or hypokalemia. This requires supplementing sodium and potassium, usually by drinking more light salt water and foods and drinks with high potassium content.

However, many people only drink some salty boiled water after sweating, even if they have symptoms of sodium deficiency such as fatigue, dry mouth, dizziness, muscle pain, numbness of hands and feet. This kind of passive sodium supplementation slows down the metabolism in the body and increases the burden on the kidneys, which often fails to play its due role.

If people take the initiative to supplement sodium, before sweating heavily or when it is hot, they should drink some light salt boiled water when they get up in the morning to ensure that the sodium content in the body still basically meets the requirements after sweating, which can maintain the normal metabolism of cells, stabilize the infiltration inside and outside cells, adjust the acid-base balance in the body, maintain relatively vigorous energy, and avoid symptoms such as physical fatigue and dizziness.

Drinking a cup of light salt water in the morning can be absorbed by the body quickly, which can dilute blood, increase blood flow and prevent cerebral thrombosis and arteriosclerosis. Drinking light salt water in the morning is also a good way to prevent habitual constipation and keep healthy. Drinking salt water after a lot of exercise is beneficial to replenish a lot of sodium lost by sweating and maintain electrolyte balance in the body. You can also drink it in the morning. Dry weather in winter often leads to excessive internal heat, constipation and indigestion.

For patients with hypotension, drinking light salt water after getting up early can prevent hypotension and syncope caused by hypotension.

People with oral diseases can drink light salt water early for sterilization.
