I tried adding more salt to food just for a test. 90% of my cramps are gone. I think if adding salt gets rid of cramps my health can stand a little more salt.

I guess that's why every re-hydration/electolyte drink (or powder) I've come across has salt in it. I suspect the sugar content is to get it into your system faster.
