Restricting vs binging
It seems like I am very good at being very restrictive of what I eat (1200 calorie goal), or I can't stop eating.

High sodium diet
I have a weird cardiac condition and I needed to increase my salt intake. My doctor recommended Gatorade or pedialyte, but my stomach can't handle it (I only ever drink water). Any recommendations to increase salt intake while still eating healthy or any home recipes for electrolyte drinks? Thanks!
