When it comes to hydration and performance, electrolytes are often mentioned—but not always understood. Many people believe they’re just for athletes or that any sports drink provides them. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of misinformation out there. In this episode, we’ll clear up common misconceptions, explain the real benefits of electrolytes, and guide you to the best sources for proper hydration.
What Are Electrolytes and Why Are They Important?
First, let’s go over just a little bit of science:
There are 94 Natural Elements of the periodic table that consist of foundational solid, liquid and gaseous substances referred to as ‘elements’.
From a nutritional perspective, the solid and liquid elements can be divided into “Minerals” and “Trace Elements”.
Those elements that chemically dissolve in water become ELECTROLYTES because the water makes them electrically charged (positive and negative).
During Evolution the animal species (including humans) inherited their body fluids and electrolytes from the ocean. The oceans contain nearly all 78 minerals and trace elements of the Periodic Table of the Elements as electrolytes. A small number of elements do not dissolve in water so they do not form charged electrolytes.
So, the proportions of electrolytes in the body fluids are the same as they are in the ocean. They’re just diluted.
Electrolytes are essential minerals that carry an electric charge and help maintain various bodily functions.
The primary electrolytes include:
- Sodium – Regulates fluid balance and nerve function
- Potassium – Supports muscle contractions and heart health
- Magnesium – Aids muscle relaxation, nerve signaling, and energy production
- Calcium – Important for bone strength, muscle movement, and nerve function
- Chloride – Helps with fluid balance and stomach acid production
- Phosphate – Plays a role in energy storage and bone health
These minerals are vital for maintaining hydration, muscle function, nerve signaling, blood pressure, and overall cellular processes. Without the right balance of electrolytes, you may experience muscle cramps, fatigue, dizziness, and even severe health complications...
