Unbalanced Electrolytes = Poor Health

Not enough health advisers/practitioners talk about electrolytes and yet so many health issues can be resolved by keeping an electrolyte balanced.

Electrolyte replacement is NOT just for athletes. It’s critical for athletes but still imperative for everybody. Just about everyone is running around deficient in electrolytes. Electrolytes are essential for active bodies..this means shopping, working, driving, sleeping..you’re losing electrolytes all day and night long.

Feeling Fatigued? There’s A Good Chance It’s Because You’re Deficient In Electrolytes!

Electrolytes give the body the electrical charge that keeps the heart, muscles and nervous system working properly. Fatigue, heavy sweating (or not sweating at all), cold hands or feet and susceptibility to colds are sign of a really bad imbalance.

There are, of course, many other signs of electrolyte imbalance and to see more information on these health problems visit: http://www.healthtoheart.com/electrolytes-electrolyte-imbalance.htm

When your electrolytes are truly balanced, there are all types of little health nuances you may have that will just go away. Let’s face it, we all have little health issues and we aren’t sure what causes them. Anyone with any type of illness, disease or major health concern should start taking electrolytes immediately.

The Usual Misconceptions About Electrolytes!

Usually if someone feels dehydrated, they drink water or a sports drink. I used to do the same. Sports drinks provide carbohydrates, which are important for active people. Sports drinks have lots of glucose in them. Marathoners, endurance athletes, hikers and bikers crave quick energy when working, so it’s easy to see why they would grab a sports drink.

Water dilutes electrolytes and creates a greater electrolyte imbalance. Drinking water is very important and honestly, most people don’t drink enough. Drinking water unfortunately makes people with electrolyte imbalance worse off. Mineral water contains a variety of minerals that upsets electrolyte balance.

How Do You Get Electrolytes?

In the “old” days people used to get their electrolytes from cooking down animal bones into soups and broths. Even though it’s not a perfectly balanced way of getting electrolytes, electrolytes can be replaced this way.

Even though drinking a bone soup broth may be hard to swallow after a hard workout or during the summertime when soup really isn’t on the menu, there are other ways (thanks to science) of getting the perfect balance that’s VERY convenient. Beware of Electrolyte Mixes!

I’ve seen powdered mixes of so called electrolytes. There are salt tablets, minerals, vitamins. None of these will replace and balance your electrolytes.

The essential minerals for electrolyte replacement are: Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Chloride, Bicarbonate, Phosphorous and Sulfur.

Individually these electrolytes cannot provide CONDUCTIVITY necessary to transmit the electrical pulses that operate the nerves, muscles and heart! Together, in the proper ratio, they regulate the nervous system, muscle function, maintain the body’s acid/alkaline balance and regulate the amount of water in body fluids and cells!

That’s important stuff!

As an athlete and the author of Health to Heart, I’ve tried everything and will try just about anything. For the athletes reading this, Endurox and other mixes are not electrolyte replacement. They are for recovery after training and while I use such formulas, I’ve never gotten the results that I’ve had with the Life Balances Electrolytes.

While on my own health journey I came across a group of products from a small, family owned company whose founding member was a chemist.

The Life Balances Electrolytes Are The ONLY Electrolytes On The Market That Will Perfectly Balance Your Electrolytes.

It’s such a smart product that the chemist who created it made it taste sensitive, so you know EXACTLY how much you need based on taste. His philosophy is that everyone’s chemistry is unique and different. He created products that are taste sensitive based on the fundamentals of principles of human chemistry so that everyone can give themselves the proper amount of minerals, vitamins and electrolytes.

These specially formulated electrolytes are also isotonic (meaning they have the same consistency as blood), balanced, taste sensitive, and are charged. You may receive a small static shock when opening a bottle. * It’s not harmful. It’s just due to potency of the formula and the balance of the electrolytes.
