I actually will frequently add a teaspoon of lite salt to my water at work. I notice the electrolytes really help with my mental focus and clarity.

I've been eating a predominantly low carb diet for over five years. Potassium and magnesium are always an issue, and if I'm not getting enough of the former, my heart will feel like it's beating out of my chest. Big, heavy thumps. A couple hundred mg of Potassium supplements, and I'm back to normal in like thirty minutes.

Electrolytes are important! They're also what plants crave.
