How can you not be getting enough salt?? We don’t need that much and it’s in basically everything

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 hour ago

But if you drink more water, you also need more salt.

🤷‍♂️

Maybe? Maybe not. It’s expensive to test for, and cheaper to treat the symptoms. And I can monitor my vitals myself.

Obviously I don’t know anything about you but I have cystic fibrosis so I lose a TON of salt and do need a high salt diet, some people who carry the cystic fibrosis gene express it fairly strongly and need more salt… could be something unusual like that I guess

yeah, I saw that in an episode of Star Trek.
