10 things you need to know about electrolytes:
1. Electrolytes are certain minerals (i.e., chloride, magnesium, potassium, sodium etc.) essential to human health.
2. Without electrolytes, you could not move, think, or live.
3. In terms of hydration, electrolytes are responsible for directing water (and nutrients) to the areas of the body where it’s needed most and maintaining optimal fluid balance inside the cells.
4. Electrolytes help support your muscles to contract and relax.
5. Electrolytes assist in the transmission of nerve impulses from your nervous system to different body parts.
6. Electrolytes help prevent water intoxication & hyponatremia.
7. As an essential mineral, an electrolyte CANNOT be substituted by any other nutrient in the diet. That means that your body will only accept that particular mineral or electrolyte.
8. Sports drinks and flavored electrolyte powders often contain sugars or artificial sweeteners that can negatively affect hydration.
9. Liquid ionic electrolytes absorb into the body more easily, quickly, and efficiently.
10. Pure, all-natural, liquid ionic electrolytes (like elete electrolytes) are the best option for electrolyte supplementation.
