“…your body requires electrolytic minerals to maintain smooth performance of vital functions such as muscle contraction. Athletes who neglect this important component of fueling will impair their performance, and may incur painful and debilitating cramping and spasms, a sure way to ruin a workout or race” (1).This suggests that athletes that disregard the concern of electrolytic intake, may end up injured or unable to perform. Many people ignore these risks and end up taking in too little or too many electrolytic minerals, or may only focus on one electrolyte. “Supplementing with only one electrolyte or consuming too much of one or more electrolytic minerals overrides the complex and precise mechanisms that regulate proper electrolyte balance” such as excess salt consumption which will cause more problems than it resolves (1). This means that all electrolytes are important and athletes that only show concern for one electrolytic mineral, may end up with more damage then what they started with. This is the reason why all athletes need to have precision in all aspects of their diet, to boost health and
