What are electrolytes? (self.explainlikeimfive)

I know gator-aid and its like advertise that they have lots of them. And I know sometimes I feel bad if I sweat a lot and just drink water. But are they just advertising... salt? Are there different kinds of electrolytes, and if so are they interchangable?

Avocados it is, then. (Those don't count as tree nuts, right?) Regardless, you need to find a good source of potassium. Most people are deficient.

I'd rather take vitamins. Avocados are gross af.

Of course someone who uses an instance based in the midwest would say something like that, LMAO. You just think you have Avocados cause you've never had real Mexican food before. I've visited over 30 states so I can confidently say that you can only get decent Mexican in border states. The guacamole here is *unreal *.

I guess Texas isn't a border state and that people who are literally born and raised in Mexico and in currently living in the US aren't Mexican enough to make real Mexican food. Good to know.
