Do You Actually Need Electrolytes?

from Thrive After 40 with NicFitness

Electrolytes are everywhere right now. Powders, sachets, drinks… all being sold as something you need for energy, hydration and better performance. But do you actually need them? In this episode, I break down what electrolytes really are, where you’re already getting them from, and why a lot of the claims around them are a bit misleading. We’ll also look at when they can be useful (hint: it’s probably not your 45 minute gym session), and how to tell if you’re simply dehydrated and just need more water. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re missing something by not using electrolytes… this will clear it up.
