I’m also curious. Is there a particular kind of salt?

Would that prevent hyperhydration, or would you need it to have more than just salt? 🤔

lol no. It says “a day”. It says nothing about when exercising or sweating your ass off outside when you might need to actually care about adding salt.
I drink about a gallon a day of water and my normal diet replenishes things just fine. Your kidneys shouldn’t be dumping a bunch of stuff out that you’re already low on. They’re not mindless filters that run at a constant rate.

at my former job, my boss was a nosy little… nice lady…
Anyways, i had a mysterious bladder infection all the time. Any time she would waddle her ass towards me i suddenly had to go to the bathroom. Sometimes multiple times!corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 3 days ago
What’s a ‘gallon’ in normal volume measurements?

Either ~4.55 L (imperial) or ~3.79 L (US).
Ugh. Why do they do this to us?

You’re going to need to replace a few electrolytes also.

It’s like a salty Hoosier unable to remember suit because he got not-paper rich hustling people that forgot what games are for. That’s why they got stripped of major from the deck. Removing a point of game doesn’t remove reality like pushing a delete button in the third grave doesn’t remind you that math was fucking important. What’s a fucking pun, anyway?

/me laughs in POTS. I had four 30 oz tumblers of electrolyte water before noon today. (0.94 gallons aka 3.5 liters) And yes, I pee constantly.

So, the modern day version of smoking? Oh, wait. They’d listen to each other, rather than be chuckle fucks — okay, there were some.

That’s the most accurate take on drinking too much water

You know a good hack is you can just lie about having to use the bathroom.

Drinking Fountains
“I’ve always wondered whether you could drink slowly enough, and eliminate fast enough, that you just sort of peed continuously. But I’m afraid to try because I worry someone might call while I’m doing it and ask what I’m up to, and I won’t be able to think of a lie.”

Been to an airport that had that. (Lost the picture though. !remindme Christmas)
