10 Health Benefits of Electrolytes
Health Benefit Of Electrolytes #7: Prevents Cramping
When we want to move, our brains will send an electrical signal to our muscles and this signal tells them to contract. It happens very quickly so our movement is almost instant, and with many muscles to move, our movements can be quite complex. If the signals don’t carry as well as they should do, however, then things can start to go wrong.
Sometimes, confusing signals can send conflicting messages to the muscles. This can cause them to contract involuntarily in what we know as a cramp. Electrolytes can help ensure that the messages get through as intended, helping to prevent cramps from occurring.
