What are they and what do they do?
Electrolytes are substances that have a natural positive or negative electric charge when dissolved in water. The body of an adult is composed of about 60% water, which means that almost all the fluids and cells in your body contain electrolytes. They help the body regulate chemical reactions, maintain the balance of fluids inside and outside your cells, and much more.
Among the key electrolytes most important for health are, among others, sodium, potassium, and magnesium.
Some of their functions:
- Sodium: plays an essential role in helping your cells maintain the proper fluid balance. It is also used to help cells absorb nutrients.
- Potassium: particularly important for your heart function.
- Magnesium: helps cells convert nutrients into energy. The brain and muscles rely heavily on magnesium to perform their functions.
Electrolytes are found in a wide variety of food sources, thus allowing for meeting needs through a balanced diet. If necessary, supplements are also available to provide a quick and convenient dose to help increase the intake of these important minerals.
