jumping beans
can i take the gatorade powder, add aminos and creatine and carry it around with me at the gym without it denaturing or will i have to chug?
anyways, does salt affect weight loss? or just adds to water weight
Sodium does few things -
first of all, all of your minerals need to be in balance to promote a healthy state for the body's metabolic drive.
With that in mind, a grave imbalance of sodium to potassium/magnesium/calcium will almost undoubtedly result in high blood pressure, increased water retention, imbalanced ph levels, and reduced anabolism**
** this has been argued in many clinical trials, but I stand from personal experience when I say that having a balanced mineral input is critical for this.
so overall, if you want to do heavy salt in general, the key is to just balance it out properly.
1x sodium
2x potassium
1x calcium
1x magnesium
1 gal of water per 2g sodium MINIMUM
