Adrenal Elixir
This simple morning drink will help kick start your day, support your adrenal health, liver detox and digestion. Adding this drink to your daily routine will make a world of difference to your health and how you feel each day.
This Adrenal Elixir is an integral part of the Flowly program. The intake of salt is often overlooked as salt has been demonized in the wellness industry for many decades now, and old habits die hard.
Sodium is a very important mineral for health. Not only is it an essential electrolyte, which needs to be replaced when we lose any water through sweat, loose stools or day to day activities. But it is fundamental to conduct nerve impulses, contract and relax muscles, and maintain the proper balance of water and minerals.
Why do we care so much about salt in the Flowly program? Because a common symptom of burnout and adrenal fatigue is low blood pressure.
Low blood pressure can cause a sense of dizziness upon standing, poor balance, blurred vision, fatigue and even fainting. If a person experiences chronic stress, mineral balance is not likely to be functioning as well as it should due to adrenal gland fatigue. The adrenals control mineral balance via the release of adrenaline and by squeezing of the blood vessels (vasoconstriction), helping maintain blood pressure and increasing it in response to stress.
Ultimately, if you’re stressed out, you probably need more salt in your diet. Especially if you give up processed foods. Salting your food is often not enough, especially if you experience any of the symptoms listed above.
This elixir will mineralize your water, providing sufficient electrolytes. Pink or grey salt contains 81+ different trace minerals (which we only need in small amounts). Think of it as insurance policy for your diet. The lemon kickstarts your liver detoxication and the vitamin c supports your adrenal health.
Think of it as a lemony Gatorade!
