    Hyponatremia.

    Hypo-, meaning low; -natr- derived from natrium, Latin for sodium; -emia, meaning presence in blood.

    Low sodium presence in blood.

    lol no. It says "a day". It says nothing about when exercising or sweating your ass off outside when you might need to actually care about adding salt.

    I drink about a gallon a day of water and my normal diet replenishes things just fine. Your kidneys shouldn't be dumping a bunch of stuff out that you're already low on. They're not mindless filters that run at a constant rate.
