Electrolytes are salts that when they dissolve in body fluids (such as blood, urine or sweat) are broken down into ions. That decomposition creates an electricity conductive solution. This solution is known as electrolytes.
An adequate amount of electrolytes is essential to ensure a good balance in the body, which favors the state of the muscles as well as the nerve impulses of the brain. It is for this main reason whyElectrolytes are indispensable for both mental agility and sports performance.
The fact of feeling cramps when we do sports may be due to an imbalance of electrolytes, and, when we practice sports with greater intensity, the number of electrolytes needs to be increased, because if the organism suffers a lack of them, it can lead to discomfort such as cramps or muscle weakness. Hence the importance of increasing our hydration in sports, to avoid this type of problem.
