salt and water…

Today I will start to talk about the salt and water flow in our body and why it is so important to understand.

The human body contains 50-60% of water, and it is important for all functions. The fluid disappears through sweating and through the respiratory tract. When the when the fluid loss exceeds the fluid intake, we got a fluid loss. So we must continuosly drinking water for being able to perform and cope. The water will be 2/3 within our cells. 20% between our cells and 10% within our blood. This areas will be diffrent affected within fluid loss. Most affected the blood and the room between the cells will be affected. This means we cant fulfill the oxygen transportation in our body. When we got salt loss, the water will flow for smooth out the amount of salt and water. Now the water will be increased between the cells. This couses tissue swelling, If it is allowed to continue untreated, our brain will also be swollen. As you cant understand the balance of the water between the rooms will be very important. So the salt and water balance is very connected. This means you must have control over the water intake and also liquid replacement (that includes salt as well). Se be sure that you have access to both water and fluid replacement during hard physical exertion and in heat.

This week I have reviewed the Rab Ascendor alpine pant. A softshellpant made for winter use, they are built with highly wind and weather resistant, bonded two-layer Matrix™ softshell. These tough and technical climbing pants are perfect for winter conditions and cold temperatures, suitable for alpine and icy mountaineering routes. This is a really nice pant. I miss a tigh pocket for map, otherwise it is a NNNN(+) pant.

  1. Very important but complicated issue thid with water and salt level. Great that you clearkng this out Ulf.
    You must read a lot I can imagine to understand all this.

    How does it all change in high elevation and dry air?
