...to that elixir. Without electrolytes--cations and anions that give our body water its salt and mineral content--we'd melt. Or vaporize. Or freeze. Or simply not exist. That doesn't mean we need EXTRA electrolytes; potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphates, sulfates, sodium, even bicarbonate can be dangerous in excess. A little is good--a lot is not necessarily better. The food nuts don't seem to recognize this.
The closest fluid that our body water resembles is ocean water. No surprise there! And it makes us a great conductors of electricity. Be good to your electrolytes today, and watch out for lightning!
