I believe in archiving balance then evaluating and adjusting to maintain.

-Here's why electrolytes are important for water absorption:
Osmosis:
Electrolytes, particularly sodium, act like a magnet, drawing water into cells through osmosis. This process ensures that water is effectively absorbed and retained within the body, rather than being quickly eliminated through urine.

Maintaining Fluid Balance:
Electrolytes help maintain the proper balance of fluids inside and outside of cells, which is essential for various bodily functions, including nerve and muscle function, blood pressure regulation, and nutrient absorption.
Preventing Dehydration:

When you lose electrolytes through sweat or other means, it can lead to dehydration, even if you're drinking enough water. Electrolyte replacement helps ensure that the water you consume is properly absorbed and utilized by your body. -

Cliff,
Catch-22 isn't it. You want to watch your sodium intake due to blood pressure but if you go to low??? then you get anxiety which can cause issues as well. Tracking your potassium and ensuring you get the rda and then increasing sodium intake won't be so bad. Gosh, you are sending me back to the 60's when I took Chemistry class and learned all about minerals, etc.
