[Lazuli]

I think salt has had quite a bad press. Before my black-out I was rather salt averse. To try and restore my equilibrium I upped my salt intake (slightly) and ensured that I was drinking a minimum of 1.5 litres of water per day. I've felt so much better since. I never was a fan of synthetic and processed food and drink but was a bit slack when it came to hydrating. Before a dive I usually trough a Mars bar and have some water, just to be sure that I don't go hypoglycaemic whilst in the water. I came close to passing out once due to low sugar whilst heavy backpacking in the mountains. Felt extremely faint and dizzy, unable to go on, had a Fudge bar and was instantly back on my feet. Its amazing how the body's levels can change.
