hey guys in this video we’re going to

talk about what is an electrolyte okay

basically it’s an electrically charged

mineral okay and there’s there’s about

six of them but we’re going to talk

about four of them sodium chloride

potassium and magnesium okay

now what do they do they basically

maintain fluid through the body they

allow fluid to travel inside and outside

the cell there’s actually a little

little gate or a pump which is called a

sodium potassium pump that allows things

to go back and forth in the cell and you

need those two minerals to in the right

a level to allow things to transport

correctly because for example if you

have too much sodium you’re going to

retain fluid for example so sodium is

involved with retaining fluid muscle

nerve function also this electrical pump

but most people actually consume way too

much sodium especially if you’re doing

junk food and also hidden msg there’s

also condition if you drink too much

water

it’s called hyponatremia which you

dilute sodium so you don’t have enough

so the blood pressure comes too far down

and it’s actually you could even get a

demon in your brain I’m going to create

a video just on that one subject but

yeah so you need a certain amount of

sodium but you need the right amount of

fluids but what really would hydrates

the body is the electrolyte not

necessarily just water so you need both

nerve impulses muscle contraction

contraction and relaxation also it even

controls your pH okay so then we have

the chlorides which work with salt

sodium chloride it’s also this is

involved in making hydrochloric acid so

for your stomach so if you don’t have

enough salt in the diet

you’re not going to generate enough

hydrochloric acid so you’re going to

have problems with your acid in the

stomach so people are a low salt diet

they don’t make hydrochloric acid so

they always try to get like heartburn

indigestion or even acid reflux okay so

then we have potassium that’s okay plus

now

potassium it’s involved in the pacemaker

of the heart it’s involved in the rhythm

of the heart so when you don’t have

enough potassium your rhythm goes out of

balance you get things like atrial

fibrillation you also get a higher pulse

rate and of course sugar will deplete it

as well it’s also involved in electrical

pump in the cells most people are

deficient and potassium because we need

so much we need 4700 milligrams a day

that’s a lot but people are not

consuming 7 to 10 cups of salads a day

are they so potassium is usually

deficient and sodium is usually too much

okay then you have magnesium which is

another one that most people are

deficient in too because they don’t have

the vegetables but you need like 450

milligrams of that it’s involved in 300

different enzymes that do different

biological reactions in the body

involved in nerve and muscle function

blood pressure muscle spasms of your

deficient and even sleep so we deficient

in magnesium you can’t sleep you get

muscle spasm and you become Restless so

magnesium is really really important so

I created my own electrolyte powder and

what I did is I took the average person

on the street and I took them in mind

and I actually put a lot more potassium

there’s a thousand milligrams of

potassium per serving size so there’s

nothing on the market that has a

thousand milligrams per serving size

like for example Gatorade is like 38

milligrams of potassium and they have

115 milligrams of sodium and 21 grams of

sugar yeah that’s Gatorade that’s not a

real electrolyte if you ask me I also

made sure there was no multi-deck multi

dextran okay that’s a it’s a really a

filler and it’s a very high glycemic

type of substance so we want to stay

away from that it’s turned into sugar

religion we fast so it’s basically a

little bit of stevia raspberry lemon so

it tastes good and it has all the

electrolytes and trace minerals

the right combinations okay so I put a

link down below if you want to check it

out but anyway I wanted to explain what

electrolyte is and thank you so much for

watching you put your comments below hey
