Digest Number 1145

[Guest guest]

Dear group,

 

I have been recommended on a couple occasions over the years to drink

a cup of salty water in the morning upon waking, and recently began

doing so. I actually feel quite refreshed by it and it " feels " like it

has a cleansing and stimulating effect on my GI tract. It certainly

seems to stimulate bowel movements, not that I was having troubles

with that, but after drinking there is a noticeable effect, and my

wife also reports the same.

 

None of the people who recommended this (both CM docs, one westerner,

one Chinese) gave any explanation- they just said it's good for you.

Anyone out there have any ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Greg
