While generally mild electrolyte deficiencies are pretty benign, moderate/severe abnormalities can cause many life-threatening conditions, including cardiac arrhythmias, seizures, muscle paralysis, and much more. So please, replace those dang electrolytes. Before we move on and review electrolyte supplementation, I want to give a small disclaimer.
Pedialyte Electrolyte Solutions contains high amounts of electrolytes to replenish your sodium and potassium levels. You can also use this drink to replenish yourself during exercise. If you are completing endurance workouts, like long runs or bicycle rides, you may need to consume electrolytes during exercise lasting over 60 minutes.I still wanted salt after the run, but it was a more moderate craving. During the marathon, I took a sodium supplement at the halfway point and enjoyed a cramp-free race. The next time I rack up big miles, I might try Lieberman’s way: pre- and post-fueling with sodium, and sipping water with an organic electrolyte mix while running.
Eating a balanced diet and drinking water throughout the day will help you stay on top of your hydration and electrolytes. If you are very active and exercise, sweating a lot in the heat, you may need a sodium replacement. Start by drinking water and eating a small, salty snack, or replace electrolytes with a sports drink.. 260 336 287 410 397 436 40 337
