Megas Classic Cons !!! !!! !!! 3) Salt is awful, horrible and bad for you. This one of probably one of the biggest still touted myths out there, and unfortunately most people still believe that salt is the bane of all existence. People now have caught on to slugging back more water. This is a good thing. Ever wonder how exactly water hydrates you? ME TOO! PURE water (without minerals) would actually kill you. Water goes through the kidneys, and requires electrolytes (fancy word people like to throw around without knowing what they are or what they do) to hydrate itself. Key electrolytes: Potassium, magnesium, calcium and... SODIUM! When over-consume water, or reduce salt in some way, we flush the body of electrolytes, causing an imbalance, and therefore DEhydrating you. This is not good. Ever seen Smart Water that is being sold? Its basically water with sea salt (sodium and other electrolytes) added in. Why do you think when youre hungover greasy food cures hangovers in some degree? Its the salt. In inactive, sedentary people, whom dont drink enough water YES, excessive salt CAN cause hypertension. This is the one time to be wary of your sodium intake. However, almost every time outside of this, salt should be incorporated into your diet. Dont fear salt people. Salt your food. Drink your water. Be hydrated.
