  1. Obviously sodium is safe cause these riders arent dying from consuming large amounts. So why are people afraid of 230mg in a tin?
  2. Tour de France riders consume roughly 800mg to 2,000mg of sodium per hour to combat massive sweat loss, especially during hot stages. With some athletes sweating over 1L per hour, high-sodium hydration (often 200mg–450mg per bottle, sometimes more) is critical to prevent cramping and maintain fluid balance, tailored to individual sweat tests.
  3. Nobody goes 5 hours without drinking electrolytes in a long distance race. They would cramp up.
  4. How do you eat soup and bread whilst riding? You can't. You drink water with electrolytes in it.
  5. That's not true. The human body can go days without food but you need salt daily. You can live on salt and water for days without losing energy. The longest medically recorded fast is by Angus Barbieri, who consumed only water, tea, coffee, and vitamins for 382 days (1965–1966) to lose weight, reducing his weight from 456 to 180 pounds. While this extreme case was supervised, typically, water-only fasts (sometimes with salt/electrolytes)
  6. Actually people who exercise do need salt. 5 hours of cycling would utilise 2500mg to 5000mg of sodium.
  7. Your body loses sodium through poos, wees and sweat. You can't die from eating tinned food with sodium. The levels are often not even high. Sodium and C are great for energy. Sodium and Vitamin C, often combined as sodium ascorbate, work together to provide energy by enhancing hydration, supporting metabolic function, and acting as a buffered, gentle-on-the-stomach form of Vitamin C. This combination is frequently used in electrolyte drinks to combat fatigue, improve physical performance, and aid in cellular protection against heat stress. National Institutes of Health (NIH) | (.gov) +4 Benefits of Sodium and Vitamin C for Energy: Enhanced Absorption & Hydration: Sodium assists in the transport of Vitamin C into cells. When combined with fluids, they aid in faster rehydration, which is crucial for maintaining energy levels during exercise or in high heat. Reduced Fatigue: Vitamin C is essential for combating fatigue, while sodium helps maintain fluid balance to prevent exhaustion. Buffered Vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbate): Combining ascorbic acid with sodium creates a less acidic form (sodium ascorbate), which is easier on the digestive system while still providing the antioxidant benefits of Vitamin C. Metabolic Support: Vitamin C helps in energy-yielding metabolism Sodium loss while walking varies widely based on sweat rate and intensity, typically ranging from 200 mg to over 1,000 mg per hour.
  8. The cumulative body of evidence suggests that the overconsumption of salt is not the primary cause of hypertension, whereas added sugars are more likely the true culprit. Salt restriction may actually worsen overall cardiovascular health through numerous counter-regulatory mechanisms, and may lead to other unintended consequences (insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and obesity). https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0002934317303261
  9. Why don't you get a woman to eat with?
  10. Looks like airline food. 7/11 is handy for phone chargers, scissors, drinks and some nut mixes are nice. The heated food is crap. Dried out rice and dried out chicken with no flavour. Meats should be cooked once then eaten.
  11. Sodium is essential for human life and is a natural ingredient. If your sodium levels drop too low you die. Artificial preservatives do nothing good for you. Read a website on nutrition instead of posting crap. I bought tuna yesterday. 230mg sodium, 0g sugar. Only the ones with sauces contain sugar as they add sugar to sauces. The ones in oil no sugar.
  12. Yes Short Timer. Whatever you say.
  13. You can buy bread and tinned tuna. Far more healthy than packaged toasties. They are full of preservatives.
  14. There is no fuss. It is quick and easy food. The large collection of drinks is great. If you enjoy airline food you will enjoy the toasties.
  15. The drinks are nice but most of the food is like airline food.
  16. It is convenience food. It is never great.
  17. All areas are fun. Road travel is great in Thailand. Provided you take it easy. Many locals don't wear helmets.
  18. Rich people don't care about the homeless.
  19. They would be less accurate though. More innocents die.
  20. Oil money later I guess. Trump should buy 50,000 cheap drones.
  21. A bogan is not a gay guy. A bogan is like Hale and Pace.
  22. That was terrible. Normally they are funny.
  23. He's more positive than 75% on here 555
  24. It is like hippies and dreadlocks. Dumb people copied each other to be cool and then all looked the same.
  25. He is a gay guy who mops floors. The opposite of a bogan.
