Hm, I was just thinking about this today. I'm training for another 2 day breast cancer walk and last year I'm pretty sure I became hyponatremic or at least had a problem with salt/electrolyte loss. It made me feel really sick and I don't want to feel that again so I've been trying to think of what to do this year.

Anyway I went for about a 5 mile hike/walk up Mont Royal park and took some nuun in my water this time. It tasted pretty good, definitely not salty. But by the time I'd come back home all I could think about was wanting something really salty and right now!

I also have low blood pressure and I tend to crave salt a lot so I just kind of go with it. It is kind of amazing to think back at how precious a commodity salt used to be and how prevalent it is now.
