This comprehensive overview emphasizes the critical role of balanced electrolytes (beyond just salt)for supporting cellular energy, nerve impulses, and muscle contractions via the sodium-potassium pump.
It highlights the necessity of increasing electrolyte intake (especially sodium and potassium) during exercise, fasting, or when following low-carb or ketogenic diets.
A major focus is on mitigating contaminant exposure, advocating for the use of glass-lined water bottles to avoid microplastics (a significant problem with plastic and paper cups, especially when hot), and consider installing high-quality, multi-stage water filters that remineralize tap water.
The discussion also covers the importance of shower filters for removing radon gas and explores emerging strategies for detoxifying microplastics (a pervasive contaminant found in air, food, and clothing) using various binders and stratgies to avoid.
