Mark Hyman: What are electrolytes?
Peer-Reviewed Research
Key Takeaways
- Monitor electrolyte balance – Sodium, potassium, and magnesium must stay in precise ratios for optimal muscle and nerve function.
- Watch sodium intake – Excess sodium causes bloating and high blood pressure; balance with potassium-rich foods.
- Prioritize potassium – Low levels lead to muscle cramps and irregular heart rhythms; eat bananas, leafy greens, or avocados.
- Address magnesium deficiency – Fatigue, weakness, or muscle twitching may signal low magnesium; consider supplements or magnesium-rich foods.
Bottom Line
Track your electrolyte intake (sodium, potassium, magnesium) and adjust diet or supplements to prevent imbalances causing fatigue, cramps, or heart issues.
