Thinking about the importance of physical activity got me remembering about the cramps I used to get after running.  I asked the doctor about that and she told me I needed to make sure I had enough electrolytes in my system. She was proud of me for exercising but warned that I needed to stay hydrated with enough electrolytes to avoid cramping up.

Apparently there are several types of dehydration and the most common experienced by humans is called isotonic dehydration which causes an equal loss of water and electrolytes (particularly sodium).  This can cause cramping in the legs like I used to get.  It’s important to remember that when your being physically active or exercising, re-hydration and electrolyte replenishment is vital to maintaining your healthy active metabolism!
