If you are a sports drink fan and trying to cut back but still consuming electrolyte-enhanced beverages; while limiting the amount of sugar intake may be a good start, you may be overlooking the amount of salt in your liquid intake. As referenced below, an electrolyte is a derivative of salt that is needed to promote hydration, especially after exercise. The debate about electrolytes is not whether or not they are good for you, but how much of a good thing is too much? The Science Electrolyte solutions are normally formed when a salt is placed into a solvent such as water and the individual components dissociate due to the thermodynamic interactions between solvent and solute molecules, in a process called solvation. For example, when table salt, NaCl, is placed in water, the salt (a solid) dissolves into its component ions, according to the dissociation reaction. Rehydration In oral rehydration therapy, electrolyte drinks containing sodium and potassium salts replenish the body...
