What Do Electrolytes Have to Do with Energy?

Electrolytes are minerals in the blood and other bodily fluids that carry an electrical charge. Maintaining a healthy balance of electrolytes is essential to proper muscle function, nervous system function, hydration and pH levels.*

During fasting, it’s important to ensure adequate electrolyte intake. When your body sends cues like dizziness, muscle cramps or fatigue, those are indications that electrolyte intake is inadequate.

They help you replenish what you lose when you sweat and help you absorb water (which is especially important when you are working out or it’s hot outside).

To feel your best and maintain ample energy, it’s important to stay hydrated and maintain steady levels of electrolytes. Why do we need more than water? Electrolytes need to maintain the proper balance of fluids inside and outside of cells. You’ve probably felt the difference between being hydrated, feeling thirsty and maybe overdoing it on salty foods.
