YOGYAKARTA - The human body consists mostly of water which plays an important role in maintaining various biological functions. One of the important components in the body's fluids is electrolyte, which is a substance that can conduct electricity when dissolved in water. Electrolyte liquids are solutions (mineral) containing electrically charged ions contained in cells, tissues, and body fluids, including blood, urine, and sweat-like sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), chloride (Cl-3), bicarbonates (HCO3-twisted), and phosphates (PO43-]. These ions play a role in delivering the electrical pulses needed for muscle activity and nervous system.

Reporting from the Chemistry World page, electrolyte liquids have a vital role in maintaining the body's balance, especially in metabolic processes, muscle contraction, and nerve function. The body can experience serious disorders such as dehydration, fatigue, even heart rhythm disorders without the right balance of the electrolyte fluid. Therefore, the body needs sufficient electrolyte intake so that the entire tissue and organs can function properly.

There are many types of electrolyte liquids with their respective functions. Electrolyte liquids function to support the activities of cells and body tissues, such as nerves and muscles. In addition, electrolyte liquids also play an important role in maintaining heart function and keeping the body's fluid levels balanced.

Electrolytes are naturally found in body fluids such as blood, sweat, and urine. When a person is physically active, sweats a lot, or is sick (for example vomiting and diarrhea), the body loses a lot of fluids and electrolytes. To replace the reduced electrolyte liquid, it is necessary to consume electrolyte water from food, drinks, or special supplements so that the body's balance is maintained.

Electrolyte liquids have various functions important to the body, including:

Electrolyte liquids help regulate the amount of water inside and outside the cell and maintain the level of acidity (pH) of blood to stay normal.

Ion sodium, potassium, and calcium play an important role in the delivery of nerve impulses and muscle contractions, including heart muscles.

Sodium and potassium balances affect blood pressure. Excess sodium can cause hypertension.

Ectrolyte liquids support chemical reactions in the body that generate energy for daily activity.

There are many types of electrolyte liquids with their own benefits for the body. The following are various types of electrolyte liquids in the body along with their benefits:

Sodium is needed by the body to maintain an electrolyte balance, control fluids in the body, and regulate muscle contraction and nerve function. Normally, sodium levels in the blood range from 135 145 millimol/liters (mmol/L).

Potassium is an electrolyte that functions to regulate the rhythm and pump of the heart, keep blood pressure stable, support neural electrical activity, regulate muscle contraction and cell metabolism, and maintain bone health and electrolyte balance. In the blood, the normal potassium is in the range of 3.5 5 mmol/L.

Clorides in the body function to maintain the pH or blood acidity level, body fluids, and digestive tract activity. Normally, the levels of chloride in the body are 98'108 mmol/L.

Calsium is an important mineral and electrolyte that plays a role in stabilizing blood pressure, controlling muscle contraction and neural electrical activity, strengthening bones and teeth, and optimizing blood clotting processes. Normally, calcium levels in the body are 8.510.5 milligrams (mg/dL).

Magnesium plays an important role in the process of cell and body tissue formation, maintaining heart rhythm, and supporting nerve function and muscle contraction. Sufficient magnesium needs are also useful for improving sleep quality in insomnia sufferers. Normally, magnesium levels in the body are 1.5 2.7 mg/dL.

Fosfat functions to strengthen bones and teeth, generate energy, and support the growth and repair of body tissues. The normal phosphate levels range from 2.5 4.5 mg/dL.

This type of electrolyte liquid functions to keep the blood pH normal, balance the body's fluid levels, and regulate the function of the heart. Normally, the body's bicarbonate levels range from 22 '30 mmol/L'.

Each type of electrolyte liquid has an important role in the body. Lacks or excesses of electrolyte can cause health problems, so it is important to maintain a balanced intake of fluids and nutrients. Eating sufficient water, eating mineral-rich fruit and vegetables, and drinking electrolyte liquid during heavy activities is a simple way to maintain the balance of body electrolytes.
