Hi, Good Doctor,
I am wondering how exercise might impact the body's assimilation and/or mitigation of the effects of salt. I have long been a borderline diabetic and am quite confident that my addition to the aerobic activity of the game of tennis has helped to keep that condition in check. Is there any data on exercise and the negative impact of salt in the diet?
Thanks,
Bernie
