About 5 years ago, someone on this list (may be Roy?) told me about Dr. 
James Wilson's book, ADRENAL FATIGUE: THE 21ST CENTURY STRESS SYNDROME.  I 
learned a lot from reading this book, and the one thing that has made the 
biggest impact on my daily well being is Dr. Wilson's advise on preventing 
the afternoon crash.  His recommendation is as follows:

(1) Avoid fruits before noon
(2) Drink a cup of water containing about 1/2 teaspoon of salt in the 
morning.

This intervention is aimed at balancing the electrolytes that are out of 
whack for people with adrenal fatigue.  We tend to lose excessive amounts of 
sodium thru the urine, while retaining too much potassium.  This causes a 
drop in blood pressure especially in the afternoon.  I've been following 
this advise for about 5 years & find it very helpful.  In addition to 
drinking salted water in the morning, I've found it helpful to drink a 
little salted water (or take a salt tablet w/ water) anytime I feel a little 
tired during the day.  It almost always gives me a little boost.

My questions are:  Has anyone else on this list tried this?  Did it help you 
avoid the afternoon energy crisis?
