Recently, there has been a surge of support and enthusiasm for something that is ancient yet new for some, and that is drinking salt water every morning. The water infused with salt (sole water) is a very simple process, even an ancient process that has been discussed in Ayurvedic and holistic traditions. In terms of health benefits, what is it about this salty drink that is so good for you?

Let’s examine five health benefits of drinking sole water in the morning.

Balances Electrolytes
Electrolytes rule the body for all kinds of functions, specifically muscle contraction, nerve signaling, and balancing fluids in the body. Most often, when waking up in the morning, your body is a bit dehydrated and possibly lacking electrolytes. A bit of salt water helps to replenish those electrolytes relatively quickly and can help you start your day with more energy and focus.

Promotes Digestion

Salt water can positively affect your digestion. The natural minerals in the salt trigger the release of hydrochloric acid (HCl) in your stomach, which is necessary for food breakdown and digestion. The salt water may encourage the release of salivary digestive enzymes in your mouth, which would also help with your food digestion. This can lead to better digestion, reduced bloating, and less digestive pain.

Detoxes the Body
Drinking salt water in the morning has become one of the most popular purported benefits as a way to detox your body. Salt water helps flush the toxins out of your body by supporting good bowel habits and liver and kidney health. The trace minerals present in the salt may help draw impurities out of the cells, promoting the natural process of detoxification, so you feel fresh and energized!

Supports your adrenal health

Your adrenal glands are important for stress management. Your adrenal glands provide hormones like cortisol that help you deal with the day-to-day, daily chronic stressors in life. If you are chronically stressed, you could deal with adrenal fatigue, which leads you to feel depleted and burned out. Natural sodium in salt water can support healthy adrenal function by providing the necessary mineral that is used in the hormone synthesis process. This, in turn, can support your body’s ability to deal with the stressors of life, higher energy levels, and overall well-being.

How to Make Sole Water?

Making sole water is easy. Combine a high quality, unprocessed salt (such Himalayan pink salt or Celtic sea salt) with filtered water in a container. Let it rest overnight, until the salt dissolves and the water is saltwater. In the morning, just add a teaspoon of this sole water in a glass of warm water and drink on an empty stomach. It’s important to note that moderation is key—consuming too much salt can have adverse effects, so it’s best to start with a small amount and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any underlying health conditions.
