Humans need approx 1tsp (or less) of sodium daily as an essential nutrient. I was low on sodium this morning* then spent the day at the beach in the salty ocean air, then within about 30 minutes I wasn't dizzy and nauseous anymore. Did the ocean air provide me sodium somehow?
*(dizzy & nauseous, I know the symptoms well since I often have no sodium in my diet and I've learned this through experience the last 5 years and I have to consciously remember to add sodium to my diet, and if I forget then I have dizziness and nausea)
Reddit wouldn't let me post this for some reason, Maybe because that subreddit r/askadoctor is dead, there have been no posts there for 3 years, so instead of abandoning my attempt at a post, I screenshat it and posting it here on Lemmy.
You most definitely do not know anything about nutrition. First off, that's overkill for those electrolytes and it ignores the others, secondly, unless you are eating memory foam, you are definitely getting sodium, potassium, etc in your diet. Third and final, a gallon of water a day is probably overkill as well, even if you are sweating enough to need it, you probably aren't accounting for the nutrients it's washing out of your system.
To close. Being certified in nutrition isn't the brag you think it is. I'm now going to block you because I don't have time to deal with your level of insanity, I can barely handle my own.
