Where on earth are you eating Thai food with so much salt?! You're obviously going to the wrong places. Thai food, like Asian food in general, is characterized by its low salt content compared to Western cuisine. Regular table salt is rarely used directly in Thai cooking, as fish sauce (nam pla) (made from fermented anchovies), soy sauce, and oyster sauce are the main sources of saltiness and umami. By the way, KFC, McDonald's, and Sizzler are not typical Thai restaurants😉😉😉

I exercise a lot. Tried everything. Biggest things are protein and electrolytes.

 

A bodybuilder told me he takes 1 teaspoon of salt pre workout.

 

Give it a try.

Can I add to this?

I take Creatine daily with my protein powder.  I also take a collagen supplement daily, because I found that as you get older you are more vulnerable to damaged tendons, etc.

Give this a try, too.

You don't seem to realise how much salt is in thai sauces, for example fish sauce 27+% salt, do you have high blood pressure by any chance?

I don't have blood pressure problems, nor do I like fish sauce. But if you seriously want to claim that this sauce adds too much salt to an entire meal, then you've clearly never experienced Thai cuisine!

You just have to look at the ingredients to see it
