The balance of electrolytes in your body is an integral aspect of cellular physiology, especially for athletic performance. Sweating and urination cause electrolytes to be flushed out of the body, which can hinder performance if they aren\u2019t replenished. This is why drinking a drink with electrolytes before, during, and\/or after vigorous exercise is beneficial for athletes, gym-goers, and fitness enthusiasts alike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GET PRODUCT Do you want a low-calorie drink while exercising and therefore drink only water?
