    It's funny you ask that I was reading a post yesterday about lowering sodium intake, as I was putting a handful of sunflower seeds in my mouth. I thought it was around 1800 - 2400 mg's, not taking into consideration the sunflower seeds. Up until recently I chewed Copenhagen and over the last week substituted with sunflower seeds. I was doing some reading yesterday and dropped the seeds in the trash.

    Sodium is an essential electrolyte and if your intake is too low then you may experience cramps.

    I don't put much faith in proponents of low sodium diets because research has shown that high sodium diets are just as healthy.

    Plus if you get your sodium intake right it will help you lift heavier.

    Eating roughly 12 grams of sodium is more beneficial to my strength than taking creatine.

    I miss the days of cope long cut and cope black.

    It's been a long time for me also.
