Has anyone had any luck with adding lots of potassium, salt or electrolytes or drinking tons of water before AND after working out? Maybe the body is reacting after a workout due to a loss of water, and we already have low blood volume. If you can keep up with the exertion and do well for a few hours or a day but then the body just collapses, it might be because your body has lost so much water and salt because of the new workout. So many loading up on bananas, water, electrolyte drinks, oats, and sleep might help keep your body afloat while it recovers from the workout. I have had success with hatha yoga, especially in a room that is not overly heated. Forget sun salutations, though, those get me feeling woozy. Sometimes, I do the whole thing while keeping my hands on my hips instead of extending my arms so that the blood does not have to be pumped against gravity. Also, I wonder how diet affects your energy levels? Does anyone have a diet that does not tax the body with digesting heavy meals? Like, instead of heavy meals, trying 6 snacks a day or going vegetarian/vegan?
