We often advise people to add a good pinch of sea salt to their homemade bone broth. During longer fasts, it is possible to become deficient in salt since it is not taken with water, tea, or coffee, and salt deficiency can lead to dehydration. Sea salt also contains other trace minerals, such as potassium and magnesium, which may be particularly beneficial during fasting. (For shorter fasts, such as the twenty-four- and thirty-six-hour variety, it probably makes little difference.)
