I'm pretty sure it's because of this:<br /><br /><img src="https://nerianasims.dreamwidth.org/file/6050.jpg" alt="" title="" /><br /><br />That's salt. And a lot of it. I didn't quite consume the entire <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Rann_of_Kutch">Great Rann of Kutch</a>, but it felt close.<br /><br />It stabilized my heart rate and helped me to gradually replenish the energy reserves that were totally gone. I'm quite sure it helped with the low blood volume that plagues people with M.E. <br /><br />The admonition to eat less salt is <a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/its-time-to-end-the-war-on-salt/">wrong for almost everyone anyway</a>. On top of which, people with M.E. most likely need more salt than average. I'm going to be upping my salt intake generally, though not to the heights it was the past week. <br /><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=nerianasims&ditemid=4263" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://nerianasims.dreamwidth.org/4263.html myalgic encephalomyelitis disability personal chronic fatigue m.e. public 2
