What FUEL ⛽️ Are YOU Running 🏃♂️ ON ❓
✅ What Electrolytes Do:
Electrolytes—like sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium—are minerals that:
• Regulate fluid balance in and out of cells
• Support nerve signaling
• Control muscle contractions
• Maintain blood pH levels and pressure
⸻
🔑 Why Electrolyte Water Matters (Instead of Plain Water):
1. Prevents Dehydration Imbalance
• If you’re sweating a lot (exercise, hot weather, sauna), you’re losing both water and electrolytes.
• Replacing only water can dilute your remaining electrolytes, leading to issues like fatigue, cramping, or in extreme cases, hyponatremia (dangerously low sodium).
2. Improves Hydration Efficiency
• Electrolytes help your body absorb and retain water better.
• This is especially useful during or after workouts, illness (vomiting/diarrhea), or hangovers.
3. Supports Athletic Performance
• Athletes need electrolyte replenishment to avoid cramping and to keep muscles and nerves firing properly.
4. Aids Recovery
• After intense exertion, electrolytes help replenish what’s lost and support faster recovery.
⸻
💡 When Electrolyte Water Is Most Important:
• Hot/humid environments
• Heavy exercise
• Illness with vomiting or diarrhea
• Fasting or low-carb/keto diets (which can flush out electrolytes)
• Hangovers
• After long flights (dehydration + sodium imbalance)
