@doctorsood: What are your thoughts on electrolyte drinks? Electrolyte drinks are everywhere now, and many people take them daily without thinking twice. But electrolytes are designed to replace real losses, not to function as an everyday wellness supplement. When there is no sweat, illness, or endurance training to justify them, the kidneys are left to clear minerals the body did not need. Over time, that extra workload can matter, especially in people with underlying risk factors. Knowing when replacement helps and when it does not can make a meaningful difference for kidney health.

CheerfulSonshine :
You said add electrolytes only when you have "real losses"... what does that even mean? Are you talking about sweating? or are you talking about fat loss? What's a "real loss"?

I was getting super dizzy and nauseous every time I tried to do a heavy leg workout. I couldn’t sit in a sauna for more than a few minutes without feeling like I couldn’t breathe. Had cold hands and feet and was super fatigued in the afternoons. Was told my low-end baseline blood pressure was the cause to all this. I was told the only way to increase my baseline blood pressure was to increase my sodium intake. Daily. Some people just need the extra. Genetics, lifestyle, diet.. everyone is so different and this advice is what had me trying to avoid sodium when in reality increasing it is what helped me the most.

The only them I drink electrolytes is during the summer because I’m a dog walker and sweat literally pools when I’m outside in 80 degree weather with 80% humidity. Rest of the year I don’t touch them

I was literally just trying to explain to my son why sometimes Gatorade is better, but usually it should be water and failed, so I’m SO GLAD you posted this. He gets it now 😂
