How do electrolytes work in our body?
Electrolytes are like electrical nerves in our body. They transmit messages from the brain to all the other parts of the body. That is why when we flush all the electrolytes out of our body, we will get very sick, and possibly, we may die. Electrolytes are very important because they are like our nerves. They are the communication path between the brain and our nerves. Without them, our brain would not be able to send any messages to our nerves. If this stops, then we will not be able to breathe, or move our body parts. An electrolyte is any substance containing free ions that behaves as an electrically conductive medium. Because they generally consist of ions in solution, electrolytes are also known asionic solutions, but molten electrolytes and solid electrolytes are also possible. They also use many different nerves, so the electrolytes, are like the messengers between my brain, and its nerves.
