Sodium intake - Bodybuilding Discussion on Bodybuilding.net Nutrition Forum

From what I know, the reason excessive sodium intake is bad is because it dehydrates the body. Theoretically, if you drink excess water, would this cancel the sodium out? Or am I mistaken

I don't think it works that way. However I think that the more potassium you have that helps lower the sodium in your body.

Did you know that 2300mg of sodium is only 1 tsp of salt. So it doesn't take much.

I also found out that bottled water has added salt...

	TALO's Sig:"But when do you actually grow? Well, we don't grow in the gym. In the gym, we destroy. We tear down the body. We only grow when we are recovering. That's right, I said recovery. I see it all the time--people beating themselves up in the gym and not seeing results. They don't understand that hitting the weights hard is only a small part of growing or even cutting down. I could train the same all year round and get big or get ripped just by eating different and taking different supplements"
