      Basically what this means is that you are sweating salt and it is showing on your skin. This tends to happen to those who consume more water than salt in their diets.

    I am a salty sweater and this makes sense. My time in the armed forces was rough at PT times. I would recover slowly and doing exercises in the heat was killer. I always felt sick and dead afterwords. I wish I would have know this then.

    I started taking Salt Stick capsules before and during runs and it was a real game changer for me. I live in NC where it's humid and warm for much of the year and I routinely come home crusted with salt on my face and arms. Switching from water to Tailwind to hydrate during long runs also made a difference.

    I hadn't even thought about some of these things, because I'm not particularly susceptible to cramping. Maybe just because I'm only at 10 miles on my long run. But they all fit to some degree. I don't really feel nauseous during most hot workouts, but I'll have a terrible headache for the rest of the day if I don't replace my electrolytes. This even applies to doing yard work during the hot part of a summer day. And I have been craving salty foods more than usual, especially tortilla chips. I never salt my food, so this one seemed strange. This is all very interesting. Thanks for the video!

    I never thought about being a "salty sweater" but now that I come to think of it, I sweat loads even during the winter (which is quite cold where I live), my sweat does burn when it gets in my eyes and I often have like some powdery substance all over my forhead after a hard run. But I never ever have cravings for salty food though!

  • @sweetiemcgee

    I'm definitely 5/5 as well and definitely caused by my genetics. I always look like I jumped in a pool after every training run. After every marathon, I suffer from 2 big whammies: cramps (from sweating so much) and hyponatremia (from drinking too much water to make up for the sweat). What a vicious cycle. I supplement with electrolyte drinks and electrolyte tablets, but it's sometimes not enough. I had hoped the video would be more comprehensive to address my particular problem.

    Omg I’m a salty sweater! This explains why I get so ill running for a short period of time in the heat, and it doesn’t even have to be that hot. I could barely get through training last summer because I would have what I thought was borderline heat stroke. Now I see it was probably electrolyte depletion!

  • @busbystandup1337
    @busbystandup1337 Год назад

    Take potassium twice a day and you won't have salt stains anymore. You lose potassium in your sweat too... and if you're low on potassium you become hyper sensitive to salt and end up with salt stains. I sweat even if I'm not working out, and if I sweat a lot (which I usually do), I'll have to change my shirt because of all the salt stains. I started taking 300mg of daily potassium supplements and my salt stains went away in a day. Now I can soak my shirt with sweat during a heavy work out, and there are no salt stains when it dries. Also, my blood pressure dropped 20 points to 109/68.

    • @TheRunExperience
      @TheRunExperience  Год назад

      The balance of potassium and sodium is super important! You sweat out all types of salts when you sweat so looking at magnesium and calcium is important too. We would suggest eating more foods with potassium too so you are getting it from natural sources. You have great insight!

      You'll feel nauseous and possibly dry retch and even get diarrhea if you take too much salt.
      Not a health issues as obviously the body knows how to get rid of it.
      The secret is to take your body to that point and slightly back off.
      You'll be surprised how much salt you need.

  • @michaelyblam

    I am an EXTREMELY heavy sweater (For example, riding indoor for an hour with moderate power means I need to change 3 to 5 t-shirts completely soaked) but I am not sure if my sweat is salty. I understand that much sodium might be lost along with traces of potassium, magnesium, calcium other minerals. What should I know and do to make sure I have the optimal or correct balance of all the electrolytes? This has been a burning question of mine for too long!

    im not a runner but im a carpenter and i work in the heat here in Australia. i wear a tool vest and i have salt stains coming through my shirt and through the vest,
    i drink alkaline water all day, but it still does not stop the salty sweat, by the end of the day my shirt looks like a snow man in the middle of summer. I also get dizzy or feel light headed when i bend over and get up to quickly during the summer months, not so much in the winter months.
    Maybe i should try an electrolight drink during the day, any recommendations? I sometimes work up to 11hrs a day depending on work load, so you can imagine the sweat loss.
    I have always worried that my excessive salt loss is a health condition.

    In the recent years I have become one, what causes this "issue" or change? Back in the times at HS, I would sweat a lot but it was never really salty. Nowadays I lose way too much salt, when going mountain hiking, my face and my skin is covered in white points and flakes, it's like the Dead Sea. Kinda annoying that I need to use something else than water to replenish all the electrolytes, as normal food or energy bars don't come with those important electrolytes either.
    I felt dizzy, and had spasm in my muscles. And when mountain hiking that's kinda dangerous.

I suffered with it, today, during my marathon and I would like to better understand it, if you have time.

    Hi, so I’m pretty sure I’m a salty sweater. I have done two marathons now (last one Houston this past Sunday) and both of them have gone the same way. Great start and up to 32k(about 2h into the race) I’m doing fine. Then I get cramps and I have to walk to get it under control. I thought that mostly had to do with magnesium depletion but could it also be low sodium levels that causes that? I took 5 gels with electrolytes in them and 5-6 cups of Gatorade along with 5-6 cups of water. How much salt can the body store? Is a marathon far to only relay on in body stores? (I’m running just around 3h 10min) is salt tablets worth trying?

    @NightFlight1973 8 месяцев назад

    Salt (sodium chloride) is normally measured mg, not mcg. I think everyone here should know this, but I can't stop myself from shouting at my screen. To be clear the difference between milligram and micro gram is a factor of 1,000. 1mcg is one millionth of a gram. 1 mg, is one thousandth of a gram.
    Besides coming across as uneducated, using these arbitrarily when prescribing anything ingested is a dangerous practice - full stop. For example, giving advice to consume Vitamin A accidentally in dosages of mg instead of mcg, could be lethal.
    I haven't watched the whole video before jumping into keyboard warrrior mode, so please take my comment with a grain of salt (about 60 micrograms - haha). So if a correction was made, apologies.

    All I crave after a good exhausting session under 90-100F temperature is a good ice cold coca cola. That counts as craving salty food? 😀

      I’m not sure if Coca Cola has salt in it.
