10 Health Benefits of Electrolytes
Health Benefit Of Electrolytes #10: Heart Function
Our heart is a type of pump that is made up almost entirely of muscle. Electrical signals from a natural pacemaker tell the heart when to pump. This helps maintain a regular rhythm and a smooth flow of blood. Electrolytes are important to help make sure that the system operates smoothly and effectively.
Some heart conditions can be a result of a lack of electrolytes. Symptoms include disturbances in the rhythm of the heart and this can, in turn, lead to a disturbance in the flow of blood around the body. Getting plenty of electrolytes in your diet can help prevent this, and keep your heart running smoothly 24/7.
