    sometimes i use a sauna suit when i walk or jog. it helps just got to drink plenty of water
    While sweating is a way to lose sodium from the body, it's not ideal to exercise in a sauna suit. Sweat is to help cool your body from overheating and a sauna suit won't let that happen.

    It's a thread from 2011 and 2014 . . . let's hope the salt has flushed out by now, for anyone who's posted on the thread before today.

    Daily sodium levels is a controversial topic. Billions of dollars are at risk to the notion that reduced sodium products are not helpful in maintaining heart health. So reduced sodium products are promoted with a zeal that cannot be overcome.

    If you do not have high blood pressure, a recent cardiac procedure, or water retention verified by visible symptoms (not a tiny weight gain), sodium intake in the 3000 to 6000 mg range is perfectly fine.

    How would you know if/when you have flushed it out?

    Just don't worry about it. Drink water, eat vegetables. Your body will do its part.

    It's a constantly shifting balance, so you can't really put a time on it.

    What is with all the old threads being resurrected? 🤔

    Boredom. Or newbies doing a search. But that's actually a good thing since information hasn't changed a whole lot when it comes to weightloss and diet.

    Sometimes spam revives an old thread, then the spam message gets deleted. That bumps the thread, and other people post. Sometimes.
