I often tell people they need extra salt when they're fasting, but sometimes they ignore this advice. It’s understandable, because we’ve all been conditioned to fear salt (aka sodium). Today I’ll explain why getting enough salt / sodium is one of the biggest keys to make fasting smoother and easier, and why it can prevent various potential side effects. I’ll also explain how to get extra salt, and how much to use.
