Salt, potassium, magnesium: the electrolyte trio explained
💧 Hydration isn’t just about water. Your body needs electrolytes to move fluids into cells, support nerve signaling, and regulate muscle contraction.
🧪 Sodium helps retain fluid and maintain blood volume. Potassium supports cellular hydration and heart rhythm. Magnesium plays a role in muscle relaxation, stress regulation, and sleep quality. When these are out of balance, you may feel fatigued, lightheaded, crampy, or “off,” even if you drink plenty of water.
People who exercise, sweat, fast, or eat mostly whole foods often need more electrolytes than they think.
🔧 Tip:
Add a pinch of mineral salt to water
.
Eat potassium-rich foods like leafy greens, avocado, and beans.
Support magnesium through food or gentle supplementation if needed
Balance matters more than mega dosing.
