What do electrolytes do to your body?


What do electrolytes do to your body?

Electrolytes are things like potassium and sodium. You need the right balance of them in order to stay active and feel energized. Without electrolytes you will feel tired. That is why sport drinks have electrolytes, they help you feel awake and active. They also carry an electric charge, that is why you can charge your ipod using an onion and gatorade.

They help balance your stomache juices.

Balance the equilibrium between ur body system and the various minerals that need to be 50/50 to each other like potassium and sodium, give you more of an energized feel.

They're important but don't lose sleep and worry over it, most of us get enough just by living day to day. It's only a danger when you're really sick.

They keep your body fluids balanced. Our bodys need a certain amount of electrolytes to function, and when they are not you can get dehydrated and and if they get low enough u can die.

Electrolytes correct the balance of your body so that different tiny components of your body can communicate effectively through your electrical system - such as nerve to nerve in your brain and, usually quoted when talking about athletes and electrolytes, between your heart's rhythm regulator and your heart muscle. Without them, the electrical impulses that tell your body to do stuff wouldn't be able to get that message across.

Add needed salt and minerals.
