Stay Hydrated: Why Water Alone Is Not Enough In The Heat

Hey NYC runners, as you may know, the city is under an official heat advisory all week. As you continue to pound the pavement, it's crucial to stay hydrated, but water alone might not cut it. Here’s why:

When you sweat, you lose more than just water; you're also losing essential electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium just to name a few. These electrolytes play a key role in muscle function and other critical bodily processes. Replacing them is vital, especially during extreme heat.

Drinking only water can actually exacerbate the problem by diluting the remaining electrolytes in your body, leading to a condition called hyponatremia. Symptoms can range from nausea and fatigue to more severe consequences like seizures or even coma.

That's where Salis comes in. Our electrolyte formula is designed specifically for runners, offering a complete blend of the 5 essential electrolytes every athlete needs. Just as important is what Salis does not contain: no flavors, no colors no sugars, so it is gentle on your stomach. Whether you're running a 5K in Central Park or gearing up for the weekend Long Run, Salis Electrolytes ensure you remain hydrated, energized, and most importantly, safe.

So the next time you're out for a run in this sizzling heat, make sure you have Salis by your side. Trust us; your body will thank you.
