I see electrolyte powders everywhere. I work out a little and sweat in summer, but I’m not running marathons. Do normal people need them?

They helped me during heat waves when I was sweating more than usual. But I do not treat them like a required everyday health product.

Some electrolyte drinks are basically salty sugar drinks. Check labels. If you are using them daily, the ingredients matter.

I use electrolytes on very hot days or longer workouts. For normal days, water and food are enough for me.
