In other words, drinking boiled water is easy to lose water. If you add a little salt to boiling water, the situation will be very different and it will not be so easy to lose. This method is the same as supplementing patients with normal saline in our modern medicine.

Drinking salt water during the day and honey water at night is not only a good way to replenish human body's water, but also a good diet for keeping fit and resisting aging in autumn. At the same time, it can prevent constipation caused by autumn dryness, which really kills two birds with one stone.
