Your “pee went away”?
Comment on The Struggle

I’ve found that once I increased my salt intake (along with my water intake) my brain fog, dizziness, exhaustion, and pee went away.

Wow seeing that gif was a forcible mental teleportation back into the early 90s.

Okay, slightly exaggerated. More like I stopped peeing as frequently.
Salt causes water retention.
CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
How can you not be getting enough salt?? We don’t need that much and it’s in basically everything
dohpaz42@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
🤷♂️
Maybe? Maybe not. It’s expensive to test for, and cheaper to treat the symptoms. And I can monitor my vitals myself.

Obviously I don’t know anything about you but I have cystic fibrosis so I lose a TON of salt and do need a high salt diet, some people who carry the cystic fibrosis gene express it fairly strongly and need more salt… could be something unusual like that I guess

Mango chili LMNT packet in 40oz of ice water is my go to fav.
dohpaz42@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
LMNT is awesome! Mango chili low key scares me. 😂

FYI they make mango chili Peeps.

But if you drink more water, you also need more salt.

Consider also reducing your sugar intake!

I really struggle with this one. I love sugary treats. Chocolate, fizzy drinks, etc.
halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 4 weeks ago
With fizzy drinks I found it very easy to shift towards flavored seltzers instead of it’s the fizz specifically. And if it’s sodas… Zero sugar soda tastes 99% the same as regular due to the mix of multiple sweeteners. Totally different from diet sodas which usually just use one or two, usually aspartame which also has a strong aftertaste.
If possible for chocolate, higher quality products often will hit that craving better than the cheap candy bar type stuff with 5x the amount of sugar.

Be somewhat wary of artificial sweeteners, most of them are relatively new and so have unwanted side effects ore unknown side effect. (I geuss it’s like vaping : better than smoking but not great). Some known ones include : cancer and obesity because you body cranks your calorie retention to the max (it sees a full can of something that tastes very much like sugar go in and no calories come out so it goes "wow, i’m really bad at extracting and storing energy. Let’s improve that ! And you get fucked next time you eat sugar) anyways, as with everything, be mindfull with consumption

Unless you have hypersensitivities and can taste the sweeteners lmao. Though I have to say that most of regular sodas taste like chemicals too, so it’s not that different either way

It gets easier if you go 100% cold turkey for a few months; I stopped any kind of refined sugar in like 2016 and now more subtle sweetnesses stand out, and the occasion I eat things like ice cream with chocolate or a glazed jelly donut makes me physically ill.
I was recently given a monster and holy shit people drink that, by choice? Why is there so much??
luthis@lemmy.nz 4 weeks ago
I had this too. After a month without sugar, I lost the taste for it. I can do a few spoons of icecream or a tiny bit of cake, but that’s it. I can eat a shit ton of sweet fruit though. I ate 4 mangoes in a day. (Don’t do that.)

Even more amazing is that people paint the Monster logo (the three claw marks) on their fucking cars. Imagine getting your sense of self-worth from your overpriced energy taurine drink of choice.

Hint: sugar is a drug
