Electrolyte Balance

Why are electrolytes important?

Simply put.... They do a lot in the body. They regulate muscle contractions and keep you hydrated. Electrolytes also help balance your pH levels (the measure of acidity and alkalinity). And they control nervous-system function.

What are some signs of low electrolyte levels?

Fatigue, headache, nausea, blood pressure changes, muscle cramps, low energy, loss of appetite and simply not feeling well.

How do you lose electrolytes?

Your body flushes electrolytes through sweat, urine. During the initial phase of weightloss you can experience a 'flush' of water weight and during that phase your body will flush electrolytes too.

Can you stop it?

No, its a natural process your body does. Your body has a wonderful detox process where it gets rid of the old stuff to make way for new.

Well, what can we do?

Eat a well balanced keto diet! Add salt to dishes and supliment with a quality electrolyte if needed. Please note: all electrolytes are not created equal. Choose a quality electrolyte that does not contain glucose such as ReVitalise
