This topic is probably the most talk subject in the bodybuilding community. but everyone have different opinion.
Some pros says low sodium = dry, hard full look
some pros say high sodium = dry, lean, full look
Could our bodies really work so different? i am confused.
Now potassium is a big role when it comes to water retention we all know it who are into bodybuilding but why do some people suggest
2:1 ratio potassium to sodium when other suggest 2:1 sodium to potassium.
Aldosterone is a big factor when it comes to water retention. If potassium is much higher then sodium wouldn't that increase aldosterone?
Ex: lee labrada are big on low sodium not more then 2500mg to stay away from water retention
Stan efferding recommends high sodum for every half galloon water you drink he says 4000mg sodium.
I know there is many threads about that but i been reading all and everyone have different opinions. now lets take an example healthy person no kidney issues.
He drink 1 1/2 galloon water a day so according to Stan he should ingest 12.000mg sodium/day,
Lee labrada recommend 2500mg/day with same amount of water intake.
This suggestions comes from 2 top player in this sport so why can it differ so much?
