Is salt a problem because most people are not working out?

Or is it okay to have more if one is working out?

I know they had salt pills in a factory I used to work in. It would get over 100 degrees in there. Sweat your butt off.

I think salt is more an issue because we're for one thing having way too much of it, but secondly and perhaps more importantly as you may know, the salt we are tending to use is processed and refined to where there's no health benefits at all. Your best bet for your body, is pure unadulterated sea salt. That's what we need to be using.

That's what I wondered. I know the more I sweat and the hotter I get out the more salt I crave. And I also keep salt and mineral blocks out for the animals and they go after it and then drink water heavily, which is great.

Will look in to the sea salt Kleisto, may be good to switch off to that.

There should be more than enough salt in the food you eat without adding salt to it. Too much salt can lead to other health problems.

If your working out and want to replenish yourself drink gatorade.

I have to get super hot to the point of passing out overheated in order to do gatorade, unfortunately.

Just eat regular food, drink water. Don't worry about the gatorade crap. If we could manage 25,000 years without gatorade (and other soft drinks) then sure as hell it's possible now.

Excess Salt in diet(ie adding table salt to food, can foods, processed foods), will cause a person to retain fluids and to sweat more when active. Increasing water intake will eleviate the retention of fluids and cause you to sweat less.
