Electrolytes in The Body

Electrolytes are essential minerals in the body that regulate various functions. Sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, and bicarbonate each play critical roles in fluid balance, nerve and muscle function, and maintaining overall health. These electrolytes are vital for processes such as muscle contraction, blood pressure regulation, and acid-base balance.

Electrolytes in the body

 Sodium (Na+): Helps regulate fluid balance, nerve and muscle function, and blood
pressure.
 Potassium (K+): Important for nerve and muscle function, especially heart function, and
fluid balance.
 Calcium (Ca2+): Plays a role in muscle contraction, nerve function, and bone health.
 Magnesium (Mg2+): Essential for muscle and nerve function, blood sugar control, and
blood pressure regulation.
 Chloride (Cl-): Helps maintain fluid balance and electrical neutrality in cells.
 Bicarbonate (HCO3-): Helps regulate the body's acid-base balance.
