I see, thanks, never heard of it.

How does Gatorade help with that?

    Mostly the treatment required a fluid intake increase and salt intake increase. Put almost too simply, electrolytes are just fancy salts

    And to go back to complicating it just a little, those metal salts (particularly sodium, calcium, potassium, and magnesium, plus iodine to make them all do their jobs) make your nervous system and endocrine system work. If the salts and fluids aren’t riding around the vascular system correctly, all sorts of automatic body processes start getting fucky. That’s dysautonomia, like in the name of that website.
