Is that all that makes a "sports drink" such as Gatoraid? Just a
little salt? I am asking because I get dizzy spells all the time when
it gets real hot outside. A friend who is a nurse said to drink
Gatoraid. I have been drinking it and it seems to help a little, but
not really much. From what you said, it soulds like salt would be all
I need. I'm not really too fond of Gatoraid and would rather drink
other things. Is adding a little salt to any liquid all I really
need?

Thanks
