 When you lose enough water to be dehydrated, you also lose precious electrolytes, which keep the body in fluid balance, regulate body temperature and trigger dozens of biochemical reactions. Water alone cannot replace electrolytes. The body needs sodium, potassium and chloride in proper balance in order to perform electrical functions. Deprived of water and these electrolytes, the muscles will cramp, dizziness and weakness will set in and perspiration no longer cools the body. This is when it’s a good idea to reach for chocolate milk or a sports drink. Mixing in Pedialyte with your water is also a sure-fire way to restore the essential nutrients your body needs to properly function. Water Please If you knew that the process of digesting and metabolizing food generates about 15 per cent of the water you need each day and that the rest of your water comes from what you eat and drink, would you drink more water? I thought so. Who needs extra water? Everyone, especially people following high protein diets, in order to rid the body of excess nitrogen compounds in the body. Water dissolves other substances and carries them around the body, making it possible for all organs to do their individual jobs. Water is essential for carrying waste products out of your body and is also necessary so biochemical reactions like metabolism can occur. Water regulates body temperature and is conducive to electrical messages being sent between cells so that your muscles can move, your eyes can see and your brain can think.
