6. Electrolyte Drinks (Sugar-Free) Electrolytes like potassium and magnesium are very important for blood sugar levels. Magnesium can lower cortisol levels, which means less stress and better sleep. Potassium is also available for storage in the liver and muscles. Human foods don't provide enough electrolytes, so an electrolyte drink (make sure it doesn't contain added sugar!) can be very helpful. These minerals act as a natural release for the body.
7. Salt in water
This may sound surprising, as it's common to see instructions on how to manage blood sugar levels, often recommending avoiding salt. However, sodium is a key electrolyte that can help manage blood sugar and cortisol levels. A pinch of salt in water, or even in an electrolyte solution, can aid hydration and support adrenal, nerve, and muscle function. A pinch of salt before bed can help address this issue. It helps lower blood sugar levels, causing dehydration.
Try one or more of these drinks before bed. They can detoxify your system, disrupt sleep, and lower blood pressure at night. Try them out and see which one works best for you.
