ElectrolytesThese transmitters are responsible for conduction of electrical impulses along the nerves. How effectively these impulses are transmitted, dictates how rapidly you react physically. Sodiumcannot be produced by the body so it must be gotten from food. It is a component of all fluids in the body and works to maintain the fluid balance and acid/alkaline balance of the bodily fluids outside of the cells.Chlorideworks with the sodium to maintain the fluid balance and preserve the acid/alkaline balance outside the cells. It aids in the absorption of potassium, makes up part of the digestive stomach acid, and enhances the uptake of carbon dioxide by the blood so it can be carried to the lungs and exhaled.Potassiumregulates the fluid balance inside of the cells. It is also capable of conducting electricity so it is critical in conduction of nerve impulse, muscle contractions and normalizing blood pressure.Working together, sodium, chloride and potassium, help regulate the movement of fluids in and out of the cells of the body. It is this movement that carries nutrients into body cells and the resulting wastes out.
