Rule of tongue - if it tastes salty its too much salt.
Take a half full water bottle. Add some salt. See if it is salty yet, then keep adding until it is just barely salty. Then fill the bottle to the top. If you taste salt you added too much.
Note that with kcl, you start with less water, more like a quarter of the bottle, because the salty flavor is much weaker.
- mistermann 9y agoThis is with every bottle you drink? So basically once I figure out the amount, I should put that much in every time I get a fresh glass?
- YeGoblynQueenne 9y agoHey. If you're drinking lots of water and getting lots of cramps, don't ask people on the internets. Ask a physician, right? If there's something wrong with your kidneys, say, you won't make it better until you figure out what it is.
- mistermann 9y agoVery often people on the internet have more expertise in things than a physician. Also, physicians are often overkill for minor problems, the system would be overloaded if we went to them for every little thing.
- mtreis86 9y agoNo, this is only when I am going to exercise for an extended period of time, 30min+. I generally consume enough potassium from fruits and vegetables not to need any additional electrolytes in my day-to-day water. Basically I don't consume sugar or alt-sugars so I make my own version of gatorade.
