Not as far out as it may sound. I came across this condition, technical name hyponatremia, when I was researching how little water I could get away with carrying whilst climbing (answer - a lot less than you might think). Research has shown that in endurance races, where athletes deliberatly take up large amounts of water, it may actually be a more frequent problem than dehydration. Take a look at this or this for more details.

It was also brought to light a few years ago at Rave Parties with youngsters taking on too much H2O. Don't touch the stuff myself. What am I talking about? I spend most of my time in this sodden country's hills.

Better try not to walk round with your mouth open then Mike.

Yes, and just how nutritious are flies anyhow? Or is that being covered in another thread?

hmmm protein

There really isn't a great deal new here. In t'old days when working reet 'ard in warm weather we consumed "salt tablets" dissolved in water. Yes!

Perspiration is more than H20 - there are salts and electrolytes there too. So? what's the message here?

Easy - don't go lite - go smart! There are very pleasant ways to increase electrolyte levels when working 'ard in summer sun. One of my faves is a lovely little pack of olives...

Olive's what?









I'll get my coat.

If you're still there Jeannie I've replied to your potatoes.

Thank you yes I have them. With melted butter.
Can't remember fax no. Will reply later this morrow.

Wouldn't the butter melt in the fax anyway?

That was part of the problem. Also that I had a struggle demodulating the potato.

Yes, tricky that. I have found that asparagus has stouoble with System-X A/D converters. Try lemons instead.

Hey you can Fax butter?
Can you fax me some Ive run out.

Hold on. Get the plate ready.

Modulating....



NOW!
