My training plan varies between 3 and 6 miles a day, which I do at a ten minute mile. I am definitely potato shaped. I'm not the fastest, but I do it day after day.

theres different kinds of fit and shape is just one of them.

Well, during heavy excercise, a lot more than salt is lost. Another thing lost is blood glucose. It can help you recover to replece the glucose as well, so the sugar in sports drinks can be useful as well.

Don't forget, there is a lot of industry in the United States. We hear a lot about offshoring and Chinese manufacturing gutting the rust belt, but half those jobs moved to the rural south. A lot of small industry exists as well.

There's a lot of stuff that can't move tho. In New England, there's a lot of forestry and forestry related industry - can't move the forests, doesn't make sense to ship the trees too far either.

Other industry is directly tied to the place... Rural areas are where the freeways and railways and pipelines are, so there are a lot of companies that build freeways and railways and pipelines.

Then there's raw processing that could take place anywhere but use a lot land and are too heavy to ship far. Things like stone, brick, gravel, and concrete. You can grind stone into gravel anywhere, so why ship it from China, but also it needs a lot of land.

Ah, thanks for the clarification

This is quite true. The only people who need to worry about this on the regular are endurance athletes (and people with equivalent jobs). Anything where you are working at an elevated heart rate and sweating for hours or days. Not common for joggers or people who shoot hoops after work

That's how you know it's working

Gatorlyte. It has 490mg sodium and 350mg potassium per bottle. It has that very distinct Pedialyte flavor that tells you it's legit. I can get it at the convenience store next to the local hiking trail, but not the one on main street

Yup, they are the basic electron donators for almost everything. In the context of sports drinks tho, hyponatremia is the #2 threat (after hypernayremia, funnily enough), so the rest of it was sort of overcomplicating

Since what you really need to replace is sodium, you could just make salt water. But there are a lot of products that make it easier My preferred are Salt Stick caps... It's a tablet so you don't need to taste it at all
