Sweating ... Options

[demolished]

Whenever i sweat a lot, why do I secrete white minerals from my pores?

Are they salt, sugar, or whatever? They look like white grainy outlining my sweat spot on my clothes.

I hate it.

What is it, really?

^ I don't drink a gallon, but I'm not a sweaty boy or a lover of overexerting my delicate self.

I drink anywhere from 3 to 6 pints a day.

Ok.. I understand that.

I only mention bumping up the water intake because if you're sweating and it's not clear (whitish) it's because you're dehydrated, it's not an "extreme" dehydration, unless you go off and do cardio.

It's a serious dehydration, even though you think you don't feel odd. So as a nutritionist (not my title, but I have the knowledge of) my recommendation to hydrate, cool down the body, and dilute the body of toxins (such as sodium/salt) is to drink a cup of water an hour... If you were to find water to be boring and you dislike it, then I'd recommend Gatorade (something with electrolytes, even beer is helpful oddly)

But again, if you feel fine just drinkin 3-6 pints, that's fine. I'm just saying it's healthier to drink a minimum of a gallon a day.

When I go to the gym... I drink a minimum of 2 gallons in that day. My off days I drink a gallon or more. Water is very powerful, even thought it doesn't have vitamins.

Anyways, Fist... do yourself a favor, and do a little research. You'll understand what I'm speaking about if you take some time to learn the human anatomy and the nutrients it needs.

On that note, it's almost 6AM and it's time for me to hit the gym and do my morning cardio :)

Wow. Am i dying ... ?
kidding, but thanks alot, man.

I drink a bottle of water every day.

Before, I played a sport for 4 1/2 hours from Monday through Friday.
Now, i play once/twice a week.

I don't get cram ... but I feel a lot weaker, less fit, and tight though.
The last time I got cram was like... two weeks ago, it lasted 5 minutes.

And, i had a hard time with class that deals with math. It’s hard to focus.
i AM dehydrating. The descriptions in the website fit my situation. No wonder, I don’t feel like playing.

I should cut my sodium/sugar intake?
