Partially correct: the sodium in the carby foods does help.
But the carbs themselves help greatly, if secondarily, by stimulating the release of insulin. Insulin tells parts around the kidney to retain sodium instead of excreting it. IIRC, insulin also tells the adrenals to secrete aldosterone, which promotes sodium retention. |
