Absolutely!I have been helping people with their nutrition for many years and the main issue that comes up every single day with almost everyone I see is dehydration. When I tell them "dehydration", they very often say "but I drink a lot of water".When I tell them that drinking a lot of water can actually worsen the problem I get a look of total disbelief."So much salt's lost in perspiration that men died from lack of it. The problem was first studied in a mine in England where it was extremely hot. The miners complained of continuous exhaustion, of cramps in their legs, back and abdomen. Several died of heat prostration (an abrupt failure of function or complete physical exhaustion)."In spite of the heat, the body temperature of the stricken men was about normal. The more water they drank, the worse the cramps became. Finally the perspiration lost during a shift was collected in big rubber boots, and analysis showed that it sometimes contained as much as four tablespoons - 2 oz - of salt. As soon as the men were given salt water, the exhaustion and cramps disappeared, and there were no more deaths." Extracted from Adelle Davis "You Can Get Well".Why Salt?To make sure that we are all on the same page regarding what I mean by salt, I want to clarify this for you. Salt is NOT the refined, chlorinated stuff you buy in most supermarkets. Eating that salt is like trying to get your motor car
