hey guys i wanted to do a quick video on

my electrolyte powder

uh in relationship to exercise because i

had someone recently

that brought up an interesting point

that i wanted to do just an entire video

on okay and she

she wanted to know um should i take this

when i exercise because i’m going to

sweat

and lose my electrolytes so let’s just

talk about

that one point first of all what is an

electrolyte

electrolyte is a electrically charged

mineral that helps

several things number one it helps the

pacemaker of the heart

so it helps the rhythm of the heart

conduct electricity

and contract and relax it helps muscles

in general contract and relax

it helps the transmission of nerve and

with

with the heart you have both muscle and

nerve working together

electrolytes are also involved in

hydration

and fluid volume okay inside and outside

the cell but here’s the thing when you

exercise

and you sweat you primarily lose

salt or sodium chloride okay you don’t

lose a lot of potassium magnesium

or calcium so this is not

a sodium replacement okay so you may

even need if you exercise a lot and you

sweat a lot you might need to add some

more sea salt

but the reason i created this is because

i wanted to match

what an average person is missing in

their bodies most people are lacking

potassium magnesium okay especially

potassium

because we need so much of it we need

like 4 700 milligrams

so i wanted something that would fulfill

a deficiency or a gap in someone’s

nutrition

so a high carb diet would definitely

deplete not only magnesium

but definitely potassium as well also

people don’t consume

enough food high in potassium magnesium

which happen to be the vegetable family

but i know that’s not you it’s probably

your relative or a family member right

and then you have processed foods which

are really really high in sodium

very low in potassium magnesium and not

to mention

monosodium glutamate which is

pretty much in every fast food

restaurant and a lot of the other

restaurants as well

but it’s hidden as modified food starch

okay it’s the same thing

but here’s the big point i want to bring

up not only does your body

need a lot of potassium and magnesium

electrolytes

it also needs other forms of these

minerals

to help enzymes in your body

specifically to make energy

in them like in the mitochondria

potassium

and magnesium are like the spark plugs

in these certain enzymes that help

you generate energy so if you’re low in

potassium or magnesium

and you exercise you’re not going to

have the endurance and this is why when

people take this they get a lot of

energy and they have an endurance

because they’re usually missing these

minerals and there’s just one more point

i want to bring up about a comparison of

other electrolyte powders out there

they’re usually high in sugar they have

high amounts of sodium

which will replace the sweat but very

low

potassium hardly any magnesium and

they’re loaded with sugar

maltodextrin or even dextrin which is

synthetic sugar

so in summary i just want to bring up

this really important point that yes

you’re going to sweat with exercise and

you do need salt

okay but you also need these other

electrolytes as well
