Electrolytes in Summer: Just the Energy Boost you Need!

ELECTROLYTES IN SUMMER: A KICK OF POWER IN A PACK!

Summer is coming, which means very hot weather! So be sure to drink plenty of water and keep your electrolytes balanced. It's important to keep these guys replenished to avoid dehydration and to keep your body functioning at it's best. But what's so great about Electrolytes?

What are electrolytes?

Electrolytes, which come from Ionic trace minerals, are needed for your muscles and organs to function properly. They allow your body to conduct electricity and maintain electrical impulses, such as muscle contractions, allowing your brain and body to communicate best with each other. They also act as catalysts for all the nutrients and vitamins our body uses for developing good health. This makes them especially important to maintain optimal health and performance in our bodies. 

Which electrolytes are needed?

For your body, electrolytes come from: Sodium (Na+), Potassium (K+), Chloride (Cl-), Calcium (Ca2+), Magnesium (Mg2+), Bicarbonate (HCO3-), Phosphate (PO42-) and Sulfate (SO42-).

Whenever you sweat, whether from heavy exercise or hot weather, you lose electrolytes. You also lose electrolytes whenever you are ill and vomit and/or have diarrhea, so electrolytes are in great need to replenish and support your body back to optimal health. Some of the symptoms of deficiency in electrolytes are: weakness, muscle spasms, blood pressure changes, and even nervous system disorders. So if you plan on exercising hard or spending long periods out in hot weather, keep some supplemental electrolytes and water handy.

Sources of Electrolytes

We should get most of our electrolytes and minerals from raw foods, but since most soils are depleted of all it's minerals, supplementation is becoming more and more necessary, because if it isn't in the soil, it isn't in the foods growing from it. Ionic Trace Minerals can come from a variety of natural sources that are bio-available such as salts from salt water. 

We can provide Electrolytes products that will benefit you in keeping your body in balance.
