THÙY DƯƠNG (THEO HEALTHSHOTS) |

Drinking salt water properly is very good for your health. Here are 5 uses of this drink.

Re hydration and electrolyte balance

Drinking diluted salt water with warm water every day helps the body maintain adequate hydration and balance electrolytes. For the body to function normally, electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium play an extremely important role. When consuming salt water in moderation, the body will be supplemented with essential electrolytes lost during physical activity, in hot weather conditions or when sick. Salt water helps muscles and nerves work more effectively.

Promoting digestive health

Drinking salt water in moderation brings many health benefits, including promoting digestion. A study in the Journal of Complementary and Alternative Medicine showed that salt water helps to mobilize the intestines and increase digestive secretion. This helps break down food in the stomach and increase nutrient absorption.

Detoxification

Dilution salt water has detoxifying properties, helping to remove toxic compounds from your body through sweat. In addition, salt water can activate the kidneys and liver to eliminate waste, helping to improve physical and mental health.

Improve skin health

Drinking salt water helps balance pH, reduce inflammation and eliminate toxins, thereby making the skin brighter and healthier. Salt water can also help exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin, reducing symptoms of acne, psoriasis and eczema.

Weight loss

Drinking salt water in moderation can indirectly support weight control by cleansing the digestive system, eliminating toxins and waste. To maximize weight loss, drink salt water in the morning.
