Now that we spoke about electrolytes, why are they so important for our body? When dissolved in water, electrolytes turn into tiny particles of positive and negative energy which enables the body to conduct electricity and pass crucial signals for brain, nerve and muscle functioning, throughout the body
Electrolytes play various roles in our body -
Sodium : It helps maintain water balance in and around the cells and stabilizes blood pressure. It plays a key role in ensuring proper muscle and nerve functioning.
Calcium : The key component of bone and muscle growth and is responsible for muscle contraction
Potassium : It helps in conducting the nerve impulses and muscle contraction and regulates the flow of nutrients in and out of the cells.
Chloride : It maintains blood volume, blood pressure and pH levels of the body.
Phosphate : In order to repair and build bones and teeth, your body needs phosphorus. 85% of phosphorus in phosphate is found in bones
Magnesium : It helps adjust blood glucose levels, keeps the bones strong, strengthens immunity system and keeps heartbeat steady.
