Salt craving

[Lab lover]

If you truly listen to your body, it will certainly tell you what it needs. I think your salt craving is the whisper of a healthy body. The people that hear this best are normal in weight and body composition. Food does not excite them, but they eat to keep up energy and hydration. Now, we are hard pressed to be this ideal, but athletic folks usually do this well. Some Salty drinks can cause nausea, but salt is easier to get in foods. Try this---after a ride/ race more than 3-4 hours long, have two large pickles. I'll bet your salt craving feels satisfied. I did a 20 mile run and had to put a bag of tostitos by the nightstand. Rock on, Lisa!

I've had cravings to where I would shake salt into my hand and lick it to satify the craving. And I am referring to the times when tequila wasn't present.....

As in rock salt? Mmmm.... Hey a coincidence...I had a pickle craving today (and NO I'm NOT!) and I ate a few pickles this afternoon. And Cyclechick- since I was little I've done the licking salt out of my hand thing- on occasion. I wouldn't say my salt liking was out of control at all, just always have loved salt and never try to avoid it. Happily, my health blood pressure are excellent, so I dont get told to avoid salt.
