Pink salt
#Foodfacts #health Good morning community, I want to share a story. Yesterday i was busy, and starving. So i grabbed some crackers out of the pantry and some salami and deli turkey out of the fridge. Topped with a little honey mustard. Viola! dinner is served.
Later that night i go to lay down and my heart is pumping out of my chest so hard i couldn't sleep. What i realized was i had just consumed a potentially lethal dose of sodium and nitrates.
When a chef makes salami, or deli meat they use "pink salt" (this is not Himalayan salt but pink salt) it is used to draw the moisture out of the meat. To make it "dry". If one its too much of something that has pink salt in it then it could in turn draw the moisture out of your body. Combined with the copious amounts of sodium my heart was really put to the test.
Although it was a very uncomfortable night i was able to naturally ease this condition with food.
WHAT TO DO IF THIS HAPPENS TO YOU
1) Dont make the mistake i did by already being dehydrated and then overeating deli meats
2) Eat a banana, slowly. The potassium in the banana will counteract the sodium overload
3) Drink coconut water, in small sips. Re hydrate your body
4) Dont lay down. Your digestive juices have to be able to work this out of your body. Sit up
5) Take calming breaths. Signal to your body that there is no danger and it can relax.
6) Get warm. Drink warm tea. This is comforting to your body and promotes relaxation.
The next day eat protein. Eggs, avocados, a piece of toast. Reduce caffeine and nicotine. And, most importantly hydrate!
