Health Benefits of Electrolytes and Natural Energy Drinks - Organic Gurlz Gardens Fort Wayne IndianaElectrolytes are salts naturally found in the fluids of the body. Many of us need electrolytes for endurance throughout exercise. If electrolytes are depleted too quickly from the body during a workout, they can cannot be restored as quickly as there were lost.

A person exercising may become fatigued in a matter of minutes when working out at their home “gym” (Many become tired after only 30 minutes of exercise). In addition, when athletes (or gardeners or others who are engaging in physical activity) are working, electrolytes are slowly seeping out of the body through sweat.

Therefore, it is important to incorporate electrolytes into our fluid drinking regimen to maintain and preserve energy.
