    My apple watch has alerted me to the fact that if I eat a really salty meal- like a burger and fries, or a whole bag of kettle chips- my heart rate increases by about 40 beats per minute. It’s like “Hey… you don’t seem to have moved and your heart is going bananas. You ok bro?”

        Or just be dehydrated. Salt dehydrates you and most people are already mildly dehydrated at most times. Dehydration can do a lot of shit to the human body, hydro homies wasn’t just a joke subreddit!

          Very true. Humans find it hard to distinguish between thirsty and hungry.

          For me, if I’m getting a headache I’m likely not drinking enough water. Which if I’m not careful will become a migraine and wreck me.
