A member asked:
I feel pain in my legs, it is due to the loss of salt from the body, bcuz of the warm climate here. can i drink water mixed with table salt?

Wrong diagnosis: It is very unlikely that low sodium has anything to do with leg pains. You should see your doctor for a correct diagnosis before you start treating. The typical american diet has much too much salt and adding table salt to your drinking water is an unhealthy idea. In addition if you are taking Ibuprofen it already makes you retain sodium.
