Salt...Sodium...Chlorine...

[Guest guest]

Many years ago, I read that the electrolyte composition of the human

body is very close to that of sea water (having evolved from sea

creatures). If you lose sodium chloride when you sweat, you are

losing sodium and chlorine. Replacing one and not the other will

result in electrolyte imbalance. Other sources of sodium, such as

sodium bicarbonate, affect the pH of the blood.

NASA studied chloride metabolism as part of the evaluation of human

lunar travel:
