Wait - Isn’t water enough? Not quite💧
You might have heard "water is not enough to hydrate you". It's a trending phrase in the hydration puddles! So let's unpack it.
If you’ve ever felt flat, crampy or foggy after “drinking loads of water,” you need to meet the other half of hydration: electrolytes. These charged minerals - sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and phosphate - help your body absorb, retain and use the water you drink so it actually reaches your cells.
What electrolytes do (in real life):
💧 Regulate fluid balance inside and around your cells - call it "hydration maintenance"
⚡ Support muscle contraction and reduce cramping
🧠 Carry nerve signals for focus and coordination
❤️ Help keep heart rhythm steady
Why you feel “off” without them:
Sweat, stress, hot weather, long days, travel and even plain water (in excess) can lower electrolyte levels. The result can look like headaches, cramps, light-headedness, brain fog or fatigue that water alone doesn’t fix. Basically, the electricity your body needs to function is not going to fire effectively - it's need the salty water system to be filled up to work at its best. It's like Eskom running on 50% but trying to keep the whole of South Africa running - not lekker!
Daily support > only-on-race-day
Electrolytes aren’t just for marathoners. Your body uses them constantly, so gentle daily top-ups often feel better than waiting for a big workout to “earn” them.
