drinking water works wonders... so does dandelion root, caffeine and evodiamine.

Edit: and you can't really flush "sodium" out of your system, merely you can prevent water retention associated with mass-amounts of sodium from dehydration by keeping well hydrated..

Actually, unless you've just run an endurance marathon, you'll lose mostly water. Gatorade is stupid because it's "replenishing" sodium that you didn't lose much of at all.

cobain is right,


Drink a lot of water. Piss tastes like salt why? Because you piss out salt. So the more you piss the less salt in your system. Also, lower your sodium intake.



BTW, I've never tasted piss, lets keep those jokes to a minimum.

If you flushed out all the sodium in your body you would die.....so drinking to much water can kill you. You have to maintain a certain blood sodium level. Drinking alot of water will def. lower it but to much can be fatal.

not to start a dumb discussion,

but believe me, you won't achieve such a low sodium level that you will die. Thats actually kind of funny. I mean it could happen, but it won't. Lower your sodium and up your water intake.

What about the guy who died from a frat hazing?

Actually, it can and it has happened multiple times to people. Of course, you have to drink a **** load of water but if you drink enough...it will happen.

[UmmYourFace]

maybe off topic but whats the big deal with drinking so much water after a cheat? does this really help anything out other than help take away bloating?

Your cells take in water as you drink...ie they hydrate. As they do they enlarge, and in areas where there is a contained space and too much growth will cause pressure and death...your skull. Your brain cells swell and you die from too much water. It is like a gallon per hour, but hey, still from the water, not loss of sodium.

Incorrect.

When you ingest soduim, its level in the blood increases making its concentration higher that what is in the cells. The cells try to re-establish equilibrium by absorbing the sodium but also absorb water so that the cells interior doesn't become to sodium rich. That's why you're heavier after eating alot of salt.
Drinking water has the inverse effect. It lowers the concentration of salt by increasing the fluid in the bloodstream. the cells then release electrolytes like salt to re-establish equilibrium, and the fluid is eventually excreted. if you continue to ingest water the cells continue to release the electrolytes and eventually, the brain cells specifically, cease to function correctly due to the lack of those electrolytes. Look up water intoxication, or water poisoning. It's one of the dangers on a sauna. People drink a lot of water and are sweating which compounds the electrolyte loss.

As stated above though it takes a great deal of water without eating. We had a guy die from it in basic military training in San Antonio.

The frat guy died from chugging five gallons at once. Like the other poster said it can happen but it won't. You can get attacked by a shark in a pond. It can happen, but it won't.

Useless worries.

[RemingtonLong]

Is it dangerous to "flush" my system of sodium via hydrating but to continue a rigorous cardiovascular program? Is sodium necessary for energy to keep up with cardio?

[jonnicola]

Just enjoy your Chinese food and carry on the next day as normal, drinking your 1-2gallons of water (which you should be drinking anyway if exercising regularly)

Strong bump guys.
