Sodium for Gut Function
-
Sodium plays an important role in maintaining proper hydration and electrolyte balance, which is crucial for digestion. Low sodium levels can slow down gut motility and cause constipation. Adding a pinch of salt to meals or drinking salted orange juice can help support digestion by improving gut muscle contractions. A clinical study showed that increased sodium intake improved bowel regularity by 35% in individuals with sluggish digestion.
