Chronic stress leads to a disbalance in the amount of electrolytes in the body, and therefore we all have little need for salt.
Restless dreams and nightmares. With the length of the dream, the number of positive and beautiful dreams is also progressively increasing. But when we are nervous and tense, we often wake up because of what reduces the possibility of reaching a degree of sleep in which tired and loaded dreams replace positive and relaxed images.
You have a great desire for salt food. Chronic stress leads to a disbalance in the amount of electrolytes in the body, and therefore we all have little need for salt.
