Recent scientific health findings has got everyone scared of the
words “salt” and “sugar.” We have been told that salt and sugar consumption is
linked to everything from feelings of fatigue to chronic illness. Though we
should be wary of these findings, and vigilant about what we put into our
bodies, salt and sugar actually provide a host of health benefits if consumed
in small amounts.
Fights
Insomnia: This mixture of salt and sugar is so notoriously effective at
fighting insomnia that it is often referred to as a “magic sleeping powder.” The
reason is simple: glucose and balanced sodium levels help reduce stress. Stress
hormones damages your body’s metabolism in such a way that it prevents and/or
disrupts sleep. According to Health and Healthy Living, the glucose found in
sugar signals the body to stop its production of these stress hormones by
allowing a direct flow of fuel to the mitochondria. Salt helps balance your
Natrium levels, which enables your body’s homeostatic state to keep its
adrenaline levels under control. These two foods combined make a powerful
sleeping agent to fight stubborn insomnia.
Other notable
benefits: Boosts immune system / Eliminates headaches /Increased serotonin levels (anti-stress effect) Energizes and revitalizes /Adjusts electrolyte levels / Reduces anxiety
How It Works: Are you convinced now? Good. So how much salt and sugar, exactly, should we be
using to reap their benefits without endangering our health? According to Matt
Stone, an American independent scientist and wellbeing specialist, the magic
ratio is 5 to 1. Combine 5 tablespoons of sugar and a tablespoon of salt into a
jar. This amount should last you a long time. Use it right before bed or in the
middle of a sleepless night by shaking the jar then using a teaspoon measure or
just your fingers to take a pinch of the mixture. Place the pinch of mixture
under your tongue and let it dissolve and work its magic! For maximum efficacy,
make the mixture using raw brown sugar and Himalayan salt (should you not have
these ingredients, ordinary sugar and salt will still work).
Salt and sugar are not the
enemy. Excessive consumption is not advised, but a little pinch under the
tongue before bed can do wonders for your physical and mental well-being. So if
you ever find yourself awake at 3 in the morning, tossing and turning in bed,
see for yourself what a little bit of “magic sleeping powder” can do for you!
