Electrolytes play a key role in hydration. They replace minerals in your body that are lost when sweating. That’s why drinks with electrolytes are a popular drink choice in San Antonio break rooms. It helps employees beat the heat of summer while at work or combat the effects of a break-time workout.

Enjoy a better mood and healthier body with drinks full of electrolytes. Here’s how they work and what types of drinks to look for when it’s time to replenish your body.

How Electrolytes Work

The minerals known as electrolytes have an electronic charge when dissolved in water or body fluids. This aids hydration, helps balance the pH of your body, steadies fluid retention, and so much more. Which body part the electrolytes boost depends on which mineral you are drinking.

Types of Electrolytes

Here’s a list of electrolytes and how each can impact your health.

Bicarbonate

This mineral keeps the body’s acid and base balance (pH). The pH can be thrown off by certain medications, exercise, or even by eating healthy snacks without drinking the right fluids. Bicarbonate also helps move carbon dioxide through your blood.

Calcium

This well-known mineral is at the heart of strong bones and teeth. That’s why it’s vital to eat or drink it daily.

Chloride

This electrolyte can help control the volume of fluid in your body. This means it also impacts blood pressure and blood volume.

Magnesium

Muscles, nerves, and the heart are all aided by this mineral. It helps with blood pressure and blood sugar levels, too.

Phosphate

This mineral works with calcium to build strong teeth and bones for good health.

Potassium

This one is often associated with bananas, but it’s an electrolyte. It keeps your cells, heart, and muscles working right.

Sodium

While too much sodium, or salt, is not great for health, some is vital. It helps balance the amount of fluid in the body. Nerves and muscles also need sodium to work properly.

Top Sport Drinks to Recover Electrolytes

Many things can cause you and your staff to lose electrolytes. That’s why it’s a good idea to drink fluids along with other beverage favorites, such as gourmet office coffee. Here are some top-selling cold drinks that will give you a body-helping electrolyte boost:

Gatorade Thirst Quencher

This well-known sports drink comes in lots of flavors, from cool blue to fruit punch. There’s a Thirst Quencher for every person on your staff. It has sodium and potassium, giving you key electrolytes. Look for it in the Seguin vending machine in the break room.

Propel Water with Electrolytes

Propel is how Gatorade does water. It has the sodium and potassium you need. Plus, it’s full of vitamins and antioxidants, too. This is water with a boost.

Powerade

Part of a robust cold beverage lineup, Powerade offers both electrolytes and carbs, which give you energy. It has four minerals – sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium in each drink. That way, your fluids stay in check, and your body is ready for work.

Vitaminwater

This drink is a tasty way to boost electrolytes. And health. There are tons of flavors, all with the vitamins and minerals you need. Think vitamin C, zinc, calcium, magnesium, etc. Check the micro market cooler for this drink sure to be your next favorite.

BodyArmor

This brand is known to be free of any artificial sweetener, color, or flavor. That makes it a win for health-focused staff. There are potassium, antioxidants, and coconut water in each drink. Plus, it comes in many trendy flavors, which makes it a top choice.
