what if I don't take enough salt one day? Add more the next?

[Guest guest]

Dear Bee,

I seem to be " sea-sawing " with sea salt!

Some days I get enough, but other days I don't. I suppose this

question applies to all supplements, but I'm mainly concerned with the

salt:

If I only get, say 3/4 teaspoon one day, should I try to have 1/4

teaspoon more per day over the next couple of days?

Does our body use up any or all the supplements each 24 hour cycle, or

does it average out over a week or so?

Thanks--

Rhe

+++Hi Rhe. No, don't try to compensate for taking less one day, by

taking more the next day. Don't be overly concerned if you only get

3/4 tsp. in a day.

+++The body doesn't average it out over a week, except some nutrients

are stored so the body can activate and utilize them in future, when

needed. Most nutrients must be provided daily, otherwise the body

starts borrowing nutrients from itself. For example, if you do not

consume enough protein in one day, the body will borrow what it needs

from muscles in order to supply the needs of important vital organs

like the heart.
