Strange fitness hack is taking over TikTok as a pre-workout boost Simple kitchen combo could improve your next workout, some claim Sweet-and-salty ritual is sparking debate as the latest workout trend The key to a good workout could be sitting in your kitchen cabinet.
A viral social media trend claims that taking a spoonful of honey and salt before hitting the gym provides an energy boost. Some say this combination mimics the effects of pre-workout supplements, which are meant to enhance physical performance and energy levels when exercising. EATING FOODS IN THIS ORDER COULD HELP WITH WEIGHT LOSS AND BLOOD SUGAR, EXPERTS SAY TikTok creators and influencers have been filming themselves pouring honey onto a spoon, or even on the back of their hand, and sprinkling it with salt — many opting for natural options of both — and taking a dose before heading to the gym. In an interview with Fox News Digital, certified holistic nutritionist Robin DeCicco confirmed that this strategy 'does make sense' as a pre-workout boost. The combination mixes a 'rapidly digesting carbohydrate' with sodium, both of which are thought to be 'beneficial for an effective workout,' the New Jersey-based nutritionist said.

'Essentially, some applesauce or fruit juice can be used the same way as the honey.' DeCicco believes this trend is most likely popular because honey is digested quickly into the bloodstream and breaks down easily. She does not, however, recommend consuming only honey and salt before a workout. Adding a snack with more substance, such as whole-grain crackers with tuna fish or a banana with peanut butter, could offer more energy, according to the expert.

'The snacks can be eaten one to two hours before a workout, and then the honey and salt directly before.' The nutritionist also advises her clients to drink electrolytes before, during and after a workout to prevent dehydration, especially if it’s a sweaty session.
