What are Electrolyte(s) Sodium, Calcium, Potassium Mineral Balance
Electrolytes are electrical charged minerals in your body. Sodium, calcium, potassium, chlorine, phosphate and magnesium are all electrolytes. These charged up minerals are in your blood, urine and body fluids.
Electrolyte levels in your body can become too low or too high when the amount of water in your body changes, creating an imbalance . Your body’s changing water levels may be caused by:
- diarrhea
- vomiting
- sweating
- medications
- kidney problems
Unbalanced electrolytes usually occur with levels of sodium, potassium or calcium. Maintaining the right mineral balance of electrolytes helps your body’s blood chemistry, muscle action and other processes.
Sources of electrolytes come from a variety of foods and fluids. Maintain a balance of your electrolytes by drinking plenty of fluids to “avoid dehydration” and consume a diet rich in a balance of nutrients.
