The combination of low salt intake and {exercise/sauna/hot weather} is poor advice. If your salt intake is low, and you start sweating due to hot weather, exercise or a new-found interest in saunas, you probably need to bump that up.

Google tells me that Americans consume on average 3.5g of salt, while the recommended intake is 2.3g. Quite some room there to decrease salt consumption.
