Quick Read
- Sweating is a natural process to regulate body temperature, primarily composed of water but also containing electrolytes.
- Electrolytes are crucial for various bodily functions, including energy levels, mood, heart health, immunity, brain cognition, and hormonal balance.
- Maintaining electrolyte balance through supplements like LMNT, which contains sodium, potassium, and magnesium, can prevent fatigue and dizziness.
- Adequate sodium intake is essential, as low sodium levels can lead to health issues, and restricting sodium may not be beneficial for hypertensive patients.
- Electrolyte intake during and after intense exercise is important to maintain balance and prevent symptoms like fainting.
