Thats what our kidneys do. Good clean water is all that is needed. I get mine from my RO filter unit at home. If exercising you need electrolytes, otherwise you can get electrolyte crashes, as a friend did this week, multiple cramps. If i was doing no exercise and not sweating much I wouldn't bother most likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i was doing no exercise and not sweating much I wouldn't bother most likely I'm inclined to agree with that. If exercising one would be expecting to change ones diet to match. An electrolyte crash as you call it is an imbalance of mineral levels in the body could be due to poor diet or maybe due to kidney malfunction. "An electrolyte imbalance occurs when your body's mineral levels are too high or too low. This can negatively affect vital body systems. Electrolytes must be evenly balanced for your body to function properly. Severe electrolyte imbalances can cause serious problems such as coma, seizures, and cardiac arrest." It's worth noting that if we load up with electrolyte laden food and drink, our healthy kidneys will struggle to keep things in balance. "Just like anything else, too many electrolytes can be unhealthy: Too much sodium, formally referred to as hypernatremia, can cause dizziness, vomiting, and diarrhea. Too much potassium, known as hyperkalemia, can impact your kidney function and cause heart arrhythmia, nausea, and an irregular pulse." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geisha Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 On 4/11/2024 at 8:58 AM, Galong said: Sponsor tastes nasty and it's full of chemicals. In its natural state, coconut water contains electrolytes such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, and phosphorus. I cycle long distances every day regardless of the heat. I don't get dehydrated. I drink 3 to 4 liters of plain water per day. I eat a banana or two and some coconut water regularly. It’s handy to check your blood too. I was very low on potassium, I had 2 perfusions ( 2 hrs each) to get my levels back to the norm. Very dangerous. I also take a magnesium before bed to help sleep. My go to drink is fresh coconut water, love it and settles my stomach. Bananas, papaya, plenty water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
