Staying hydrated is key to playing quality pickleball. But there are so many misconceptions about how to stay hydrated properly. Jason Aspes sits down to speak with author of The Salt Fix & Win, and expert on the importance of sodium in hydration, Dr James Dinicolantonio.
We talk about why products such as ReLyte, which are mined by Redmond, in the salt flats of Utah, are so beneficial to staying hydrated. We dig into the science of sweat, pre-hydrating, and staying focused on the pickleball court.
Shout out to Redmond and ReLyte for making the introduction to Dr. James and making the best hydration products on the market.
You can find their products at redmond.life/products/re-lyte...

Some good stuff here. Playing in Florida is KILLER on your system. I will be experimenting.

[@TheKitchenPickleball]

Yes sir! Let us know what works for you. We are always on the search for something that can give us an edge and keep us playing and keep us healthy!

[@davidrandall701]

Thank you for this. I've been struggling with hydration because of keto and less salt intake. This makes a lot of sense!

[@TheKitchenPickleball]

Give Re-Lyte a try. We had similar issues with fatigue and we thought it was simply hydration, but the salt in Re-Lyte really made a difference.

[@jeanninewebster7652]

Jason- can we get Cliff Notes? My brain went INFO overload. Lol

[@Leaderofwhat]

Sure thing. Hydration is obviously important to performance. But pre-hydration is better than re-hydration as you want to be prepared vs depleted when you play. But water alone isn’t good enough. You need electrolytes, but most importantly salt (sodium), an essential mineral allows the body to accept water into the bloodstream at a cellular level.

[@kimleith1378]

Thanks so much for having Dr. D on. Learned a ton of things I "thought" I already knew. I've been struggling to find out why my heart rate jumps and stays high. ER visit put a bag in my arm and it dropped in minutes after running real high for 4+ hours. This info will great help me find the answer to the "hydration" nightmare most of us have at one level or another. Need to pick up "WIN"

[@TheKitchenPickleball]

Glad you learned something and hopefully it helps. Keep us posted on the results.

The thing with Asian countries drinking hot fluids in hot weather is more to do with inducing sweating to start the natural cooling mechanism of evaporation on the skin.

[@TheKitchenPickleball]

Thanks for clearing that up

[@darlatobin2240]

That does make sense.

[@jj-bp3fr]

Yes, I think your right bc it mixes with the sodium released from your body and that mixture helps cool down faster, also in ayurveda (from india) warm water even in hot weather is recommended, cold water is a shock to the body, this is what I found: Hot water with salt cools down faster than hot water without salt due to a phenomenon called "freezing point depression." When salt is added to water, it disrupts the hydrogen bonding between water molecules, making it more difficult for the water molecules to form the crystal structure necessary for freezing.

[@peterpan8147]

If you are in hot weather and drink cold water, the body has to warm up the water before it reaches the stomach in order to protect it. For that, body heat is activated. And when you drink warm or hot drinks, this activation of body heat is not happening. I always drink warm water in summer.

[@jj-bp3fr]

@@peterpan8147 ayurveda says the same thing u do, but these doctors don't have the experience of over 5,000 yrs of knowledge tested over time for thousands of yrs, they're newbie doctors trying to explain what they don't understand.

[@HalcyonBlue]

Thanks Jason, super helpful interview! This clarified a lot of questions and introduced new ideas to explore. Great work!

[@ovidiudrobota2182]

Eat 250 grams of pan-fried bacon, 100 to 150 grams of tomato paste without sugar, and a decent salad. Problem solved! I guarantee your heart weakness will go away, and you'll have tons of energy. For the record, 100 grams of pan-fried bacon has 1700 milligrams of sodium and 550 milligrams of potassium, bioavailable magnesium and essential fats. Bacon is a superfood; tomato paste is also.

[@TimelessTunesRewind]

Is there a good Salt tablet I could add to my day? I salt to taste my food. I am new to Carnivore diet about 5 days in and getting legs cramps at night. I either need more water or more salt or both.

[@SSJChar]

didn't realize pre hydration would be so important. i'll give it a try tonight before pb i often get headaches after heavy sweating during pb, is that an electrolyte problem? i am definitely a heavy sweater and i feel like my sweat is incredibly salty.

[@TheKitchenPickleball]

Having salty sweat is a good sign you are doing things right!

[@cynthiascott8639]

The Bible says we are the salt of the earth. Makes sense to take it.

[@SteakandChains]

Did he seriously say 35 degree F is slightly colder than refrigerator temperature 🤣. Great interview

[@donnacollins6698]

What do you think about Celtic salt?

[@TheKitchenPickleball]

I have no idea about Celtic salt in terms of its effectiveness for hydration. But if you find something out, please let us know.

[@sharonkitalei]

Celtic salt is great

[@user-bk9zl1id8f]

What about high blood pressure medication and salt on Carnivore I was de hydrated once and now I have salt

[@chrisminifie219]

I find cold water too hard to drink. Cool water is ok, maybe slightly under room temperature

[@Duweee3]

Any salt recommendations other than Redmond?

[@TheKitchenPickleball]

I really don't know to be honest. We stumbled upon ReLyte and it changed our issues with fatigue and the more we dug into the 'Why' the more obsessed with the whole connection between salt and hydration. Give ReLyte a shot, it will change you for the better ;)

[@bassmansour]

Celtic salt or Himalayan salt

[@amandagreene-zc3bu]

Very informative video!!! I have been screaming about this for a while now. I use Redmonds “real salt”!!!

[@darlatobin2240]

@@TheKitchenPickleball I make sole water with Redmond's. So much cheaper. A game changer. Really good with a squeeze of lemon.

[@joesandwhich3909]

@@TheKitchenPickleballI think KZbin channels should stop recommending ReLyte and other expensive electrolyte brands as the end all be all. They’re ridiculously overpriced when you are essentially paying for overpriced salt. It is much more cost effective and efficient to use sole water instead. Potassium and magnesium should come from the foods you are eating.

[@hoyin324]

so drinking water without salt is bad for body?

[@shawnsmith424]

As long as your eating meat and blood... drink plain water

[@sandracrompton6546]

What is relight ?

[@Hornet135]

Relyte. It’s an electrolyte drink mix.

[@dhaeganpierce1863]

These interview questions suck

[@poerava]

This guy is a marketing guru He was the 458th doctor to suggest eating salt more. He’s a scam artist. Looking at his recent selling of ‘alkalising’ supplements based on BS science is a clue.
