Do you finish a ride with salty patches all over your clothes or crusty salty bits in your eyebrows? Do you struggle to rehydrate after sessions? If so, you might be a salty sweater, meaning you lose more electrolyt­es (sodium, aka salt) in your sweat than average. Individual physiology dictates how much sodium and electrolyt­es are lost when our body produces energy and sweats to cool down. If you think you might be a salty sweater, consider getting a hydration and sweat test done, with your Sports Dietitian.
