Description
Salt has long been painted as a villain in modern nutrition, but the truth is far more nuanced—especially when it comes to timing your salt intake. In this video, Dr. Berg explores what happens when you consume a small amount of high-quality salt (such as pink Himalayan or sea salt) before bed. From supporting adrenal function and reducing nighttime cortisol spikes to preventing nocturnal leg cramps, improving sleep quality, and maintaining proper electrolyte balance overnight, Dr. Berg explains the surprising ways strategic salt intake can benefit the body during sleep. He also distinguishes between refined table salt and mineral-rich natural salts, discusses how low-sodium diets may be contributing to sleep disruption for many people, and provides guidance on the right type and amount of salt to use. Whether you’re struggling with midnight waking, leg cramps, or restless sleep, this video offers a solution backed by physiology.
