HBO did a “Real Sports” segment on why runners developed hyponatremia. The runners only consumed water because runners were bombarded by the message that ‘they must drink water’. What would be a good way to emphasize the importance of sodium as well as water?

Hello Joe Ingram Jr.,
I think people will be getting back to drinking when thirsty, as the ACE Health Coach manual suggests. Of course, don’t wait until extreme thirst, and the body will be able to balance itself out. Eating a balanced diet is necessary and a registered dietitian is a great source, too. Wait a minute, isn’t thirst the body’s way of telling us to drink, which is part of the balancing act?
Take care,
