When we exercise, do physical work, or spend time in warm conditions, we typically lose between 0.5-2.0 litres of sweat per hour (1, 2), and in every litre of sweat, we excrete 900-3000 mg sodium, 80-200 mg potassium, 15-60 mg calcium, and 5-20 mg magnesium (3, 4, 5)
Although the standard government advisory is to consume 2,300 mg of sodium per day (U.S. FDA, 2021), this is only appropriate for sedentary people and does not apply to those who are physically active.
Salts provide our body with essential electrolytes necessary to function optimally. Lacking electrolytes can lead to improper muscle function, headaches, cramping, and low energy, which can be a huge detriment to health and athletic performance (6)
