Healthy Hydration: Electrolytes to the Rescue

You’ve heard about electrolytes but what are they and what do they actually do besides avoiding cramps and preventing dehydration? Understanding how electrolytes work will help you better understand why they’re so important for all of us.

Let’s start with this thought about hydration in general. You can live about 3 minutes without air, though we don’t recommend you try that. But we can only survive for 7–10 days without water compared to 3 weeks without food. It goes to show next to breathing, stay hydrated is the next most important task for survival.

Since 65% of the body is made up of water, staying hydrated is essential to survival but even more so for an athletes ability to perform as they push their bodies to new levels of performance.

Why Do Electrolytes Matter?

Electrolytes are basically minerals that the body requires in order to function. They play a key role in normal nerve and muscle function to support overall body function. Maintaining a balanced blend of essential minerals and nutrients like electrolytes, vitamins and amino acids will help the bodies neurological network to fire on all cylinders.

Which Electrolytes Are Most Important?

Sodium, magnesium and potassium are the main electrolyte that helps the body keep fluids in a normal balance. The body obtains these electrolytes through food and drink and loses it primarily in sweat and urine.
