And this: Drink beer. Not too much. Mostly microbrewed.

Lately I have been having a hard time getting myself hydrated. I can tell my blood value is low by looking at the veins in my hands and arms. I can drink and drink water and I just pee and pee... yet my blood volume seams low and I'll get a bit dizzy if I stand up too quickly. (I'll mention I was on BP meds up until last year and it has just become habbit to be low sodium) So... I started lighty salting my foods. And I just wonder if I should add a little salt to my water? If I am drinking 4-8, 24 oz glasses of water throughout the day am I just leaching electrolytes from my body?
Yes. By and large, there is no good evidence that drinking loads of water does anything more than make you pee, and plenty of evidence that it MAY dilute out some of your salts.

Trent, Go back to college and take a basic human biology class. Then race me, ass. p.s. we've survived as a species without alot of things you and myself consider "needs" now anyway...think housing, your car, money, an education ( googling things doesn't quite cut it)
