Q: Massive Amounts of Salt
asked by: shade34321 on July 20th, 2007

For the past couple of weeks I noticed that when I go running or I go play soccer that I have a massive amount of salt over my body. So much that I can usually feel the roughness of the granulates of salt move across my body when I rub it and I can see salt patches as well. I noticed it especially the other day when I went running. I had ran about 12 miles and when I licked my lips all I could taste was salt and I could see several salt patches on my chest, stomach, and face. A week later when I ran 15 miles I had a rift of salt going down my cheekbone and my entire chest, stomach, sides, and back as far as I could tell was covered in salt. One of my friends told me it was from malnutrition. I personally think it might be from not drinking enough water but I'm not quite sure. I'm pretty sure it's not healthy for me to have that much salt leave my body like that and so I'm a bit concerned. Thanks!

Hi Shade
Our apologies in not posting a reply to you sooner.
I can re-post your problem in the fitness forum for now, so you can
get support with this.

Are you drinking enough water? as you know, when you sweat
your body dehydrates, so if there isn't enough '(Hydroxide - H2o)' Water in your body, it will start taking the salt (sodium chloride - NaCI) as a substitute instead, to cool the skin, after all, that is the reason why we sweat, and why we need to drink plenty of water.
Please drink plenty of water when doing any sport, and especially when doing sports on a hot day...
Best regards

Ginger
