How to Incorporate Electrolytes into Your Diet

Whether you're juggling work, motherhood or both, electrolytes play a vital role in keeping South African women feeling balanced and energised. Here's how you can start adding them to your everyday routine without overhauling your lifestyle.

Why Electrolytes Matter for Women

Your body loses electrolytes through sweat, stress and even your monthly cycle. This makes it extra important for women to replenish those minerals regularly. Low levels of sodium, potassium or magnesium can lead to muscle cramps, fatigue, headaches and poor focus.

Electrolytes like magnesium and potassium can also help ease PMS symptoms, reduce bloating and support sleep. All this makes it essential to know how to incorporate electrolytes into your diet consistently.
