What are electrolytes?
Correct!
Electrolytes are minerals that carry an electric charge in water and body fluids. They include sodium, potassium, chloride, and magnesium, among others. They are important for fluid balance and for the normal function of nerves, muscles, and other body cells. Heavy sweating, vomiting, or diarrhea can cause the body to lose electrolytes as well as water.
