Burning sodium?
This might be a stupid question but we do burn sodium when we sweat right? So if you eat something a little high in sodium and you work out does the sweat help get it out of the body? I know when we pee it does so I figured the same would be true for sweat. Just wondering.

Its a total other situation if your leaving…
