What is an electrolyte inconsistency, how does one avoid it?


Answers:    An electrolyte imbalance is when your electrolytes: sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, etc, get out of their normal field, whether it is too high or too low. This effects the conductivity of the heart, the movement of the muscles, etc. Electrolytes are responsible for helping our cells and organs function normally. A elevated or low potassium can cause a patients heart to stop, which inevitably will kill them, which is probably the most common out of electrolyte imbalance. Low sodium can effect the brain cells, etc and be fatal if too low. Keep in mind that minor change won't make much difference usually. So if you don't have your daily salt/sodium intake, or you respectively less potassium in a day consequently normal, it won't cause you to die. It has to be a pretty drastic inequity in order for death to come to pass.
times there are no ways to avoid it, your body just dysfunctions and can't retain the electrolytes, or it keeps too heaps of them and an imbalance occurs. When you're sick, you want to make sure to stay hydrated. That is when closely of problems occur is from dehydration. Don't drink TOO much water, but this is a very rugged thing to do unless you are constantly chugging quart after quart after quart of water.

Blood tests can explain to your electrolyte levels, but if you are healthy they should be fine!
