Every morning, I pad down the stairs, take a shot of the liquid probiotic Symprove while the kettle boils, squeeze some lemon into my mug, add a pinch of salt, and pour in hot water to make a zingy wake-me-up drink.
You read that correctly: salt is part of my concoction. This is not because I have terrible taste in drinks (though my penchant for Malibu and Coke is admittedly a bit dubious), but rather because the Clinical Nutritionist Dr Stephanie J Moore once told me that she does the same because “it helps with stress hormone regulation and hydration levels on account of sodium being an electrolyte.”
