Our bodies need electrolytes for a variety of reasons, but perhaps most importantly, because they help keep us hydrated and direct water where it needs to go inside the body. Yet many of us are dehydrated (though we may not realize it) due to common factors like sweating, stress, and caffeine consumption. Because it can be hard to consume enough electrolytes through food alone, electrolyte supplementation is often beneficial for many.
Paul Kriegler, RD, CPT, shares what you need to know about electrolytes and their role in hydration, as well as how to maintain sufficient levels. He also provides guidance around supplementation.
