- Sodium – regulates fluid balance and nerves
- Potassium – keeps muscles contracting smoothly
- Magnesium – supports heart rhythm and prevents cramps
- Calcium – essential for strong muscle contractions
- Chloride – works with sodium to maintain fluid balance
Fast Charge and Hydration - After heavy sweating from a brisk walk, playing a game of basketball, or working outside in the summer - you lose both water and electrolytes and may become dehydrated.
You may feel sluggish, dizzy, or develop cramps. Adding a balanced electrolyte drink can restore hydration fast and get your performance up quickly.
Without electrolytes your body’s “electrical system” suffers and your performance and endurance drops. Water, with the right amount of electrolytes can restore your body and boost your performance. This is known as hydration.
Water + electrolytes = energy.
Comments: Water keeps body systems working properly by moving nutrients, eliminating waste, regulating body temperature, and transportingr cooling fluids.
Electrolytes keeps your muscles contracting, nerves firing, and cells balanced.
How to Hydrate your Body - Drink water with electrolytes before a strenuous activity or working outdoor in hot sun.
- Sip 6 to 8 oz of fluids every 15 - 20 minutes during heavy activity.
- After a heavy workout, refuel with an electrolyte drink or eat foods like bananas, oranges, leafy green vegetables, and lightly salted nuts.
- Watch your urine color – Still the best way to determine if you are dehydrated (pale yellow = good charge, dark = low battery).
When you are hydrated, your body maintains normal temperature, delivers oxygen efficiently, lubricates joints, and supports brain and muscle function.
