What happens when you sweat?
You sweat out lots of water and a very small amount of salt.
i’m really not sure about this, i’d say my sweat is VERY salty, have you tasted sweat? – it’s like seawater…
and you only need to lose a few grams of salt to feel really quite unwell.
i’m more than happy to accept the neuro-muscular-wotsit angle too, but one of these factors i can control (salt intake), the other factor i cannot control (fitness)
