Electrolytes are those substances that your body uses to help cells carry electrical impulses to other cells. Magnesium, sodium, phosphate, potassium, chloride, etc., are electrolytes, and are especially necessary during and after exercise.
As you may remember, in the 1990s electrolyte drinks became very popular, undoubtedly the best known, Gatorade. However, these liquids are still processed and contain refined sweeteners, for example. Therefore, a better option is to make your own homemade electrolyte drinks (and at a much lower price) to maintain balance in your body during periods of exercise.
