Default Sodium

How much is really good (or bad) for you?

Why is it detrimental or beneficial?

To little sodium can cause Hyponatremia which can lead to nausea, muscle cramps, disorientation, slurred speech, confusion, and inappropriate behavior. Also alot of those symptoms are linked with dehydration and if you drink more water it will increase the problem and in extreme cases seizures comas and death can happen.
About 500mg of sodium a day is considered the least you need. That's 1/4 teaspoon of table salt.

Wantingmuscle u are definitly not bombr2, I apologize for that accusation even tho I did that to stirr things up a little. He would answer that question by talking about pavlov and his salivating dogs or feeding his dog certs. Also, too much salt will make u drink a hell of a lot more water than u normally would.

ok i mustered up the guts to post this I wrote this like 2 years ago the beginning of my sophomore year...

maybe it was destiny that brought you to me ,making me see the light in my life. i still hold fear that you have the that'll go in my back .hopefully your not one of the females that likes to break my heart ,tearing my mentallity apart making me pale. ive smoked myself into a retard. life is hard. but maybe it was destined to be you who stands by my side as we walk down this rocky road .so much i had to hide but not from you we're an odd couple. its not like i care what others think i still wonder if it was destiny that brought you to me


Lemme know what ya think (the softer side of me)
Its one of his best posts, if u want to read more, then go to 1fast400.com, go to the forums, use the search future and search for the member stilldown4it. He lost his password to his famous screenname, damn I dont remember how he spelled it.

BradG, you got your answer so what's the prob? Sorry for the hijack but it was a simple question and you got your answer. I can't tell if you're kidding or not. Bomb_r2 is more important

that could have been the right answer. but it didn't seem like anyone wanted to agree or disagree.

plus, bombr_r2 is more popular (here) than princess diana was!
