[RC] Hyponatremia - Lucy Trumbull

Hyponatremia was the subject of a short article in 
last month's National Geographic Adventure magazine.

One of the surprising things mentioned was that drinking
sports drinks (or gatorade) didn't help, as the body
couldn't metabolise the salt from those drinks. It 
suggested, instead, that people ate "junk food" -
the saltier the better. They suggested "those little
orange crackers with peanut butter", f'instance.
