Last week, we discussed the necessity of electrolytes in our everyday functioning and the consequences (sometimes life-threatening) that arise when they are out of whack.
If you haven’t had the chance, go back and read that post before going any further.

Let’s do it.
Electrolyte Supplementation – Who’s in Need?
There are countless wellness companies that offer an electrolyte replacement product nowadays. Gatorade, LMNT, Liquid IV, Nuun, PRIME, and the list goes on (and on).
Interestingly, they aren’t all created equal.
You might be thinking sodium is evil and salting your food causes high blood pressure so it must be avoided at all costs.
Not so fast.
