They contain electrolytes. To understand why that\u2019s important, it would help to know what they are.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Electrolytes are minerals with electrical charges that play significant <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/fluidandelectrolytebalance.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">roles<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in your body:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Balance water and pH levels\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transfer nutrients into the cells while eliminating wastes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep tabs on the brain, nerves, heart, muscles, and other organs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Restore muscles after damage<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main electrolytes in your body are potassium, magnesium, sodium, chloride, calcium, and phosphate. They each have a specific purpose. If you are relatively healthy, you can get most of your electrolytes through food and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hospitalitynet.org\/opinion\/4103430.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">healthy drinks<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Electrolyte Imbalances<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A healthy body has the perfect balance of minerals. An overabundance of electrolytes can hurt you. That\u2019s why you should only consume an electrolyte beverage when necessary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you lose too much water from your body, such as through sweating, you can develop an imbalance in one or more electrolytes. If your levels get too low, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/153188#imbalance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">unwanted symptoms<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can occur, such as muscle cramps or spasms, fatigue, changes in blood pressure or heart rate, weakness, or confusion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CULT Botanical drinks with electrolytes contain about 2% of three main minerals (calcium, potassium, and magnesium) in each bottle, so there\u2019s no need to worry about proper replenishment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What To Look for In An Electrolyte Drink<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best natural electrolyte drink contains essential minerals and water. That means there should be no artificial ingredients or additives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Health Benefits of Electrolyte Drinks<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A primary benefit of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/electrolytes-drinks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">electrolyte drinks<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the overall energy you feel when you replenish your body. When electrolytes are in balance, your energy increases. If you have experienced optimal energy levels before, then you know how it feels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Natural Electrolyte and Electrolyte-Infused Drinks Vs. Sports Drinks<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To learn how natural drinks with electrolytes differ from sports drinks, think about what\u2019s in them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All-Natural Electrolyte Drinks\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An all natural electrolytes drink<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is what you should be looking for in a hydration supplement. When your body lacks certain minerals, it needs nourishment to get it back to a healthy level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cow\u2019s Milk<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Considered a <a href=\"https:\/\/ilovecult.com\/botanical-infusions\/\">natural electrolyte beverage<\/a>, cow\u2019s milk contains critical electrolytes your body needs. It is rich in calcium, sodium, and calcium. Macronutrients combine with electrolytes to provide a great nutrition drink after a workout. Cow\u2019s milk may not be a good option for those with lactose intolerance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coconut Water<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t like plain water, coconut water is the next best thing. It contains nearly as many electrolytes as sports drinks, but only 11 grams of sugar. That\u2019s the biggest difference between the two. Plain water doesn\u2019t contain any sugar at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3526 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/ilovecult.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/blackberry-botanical-300x300.png\" alt=\"natural electrolyte drink cult artisan beverage\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ilovecult.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/blackberry-botanical-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/ilovecult.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/blackberry-botanical-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/ilovecult.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/blackberry-botanical-416x416.png 416w, https:\/\/ilovecult.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/blackberry-botanical-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/ilovecult.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/blackberry-botanical-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/ilovecult.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/blackberry-botanical-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/ilovecult.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/blackberry-botanical-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/ilovecult.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/blackberry-botanical.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Here is the breakdown of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/electrolytes-drinks#electrolyte-definition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">daily value<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (DV) of electrolytes you should find in your coconut water: 4% calcium, 14% magnesium, 13% potassium, and 11% DV of sodium. Except for the sugar it contains, it still hydrates better than plain water.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Electrolyte-Infused Drinks<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Electrolyte-infused drinks contain water, electrolytes, and sugar. They do hydrate but add calories that you don\u2019t need.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oral electrolyte drinks, such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/article\/7867963\/electrolyte-drinks-what-are-they-and-do-you-need-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pedialyte<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, contain more electrolytes than the average sports drink and include zinc to help replenish what the body lost. They may also contain artificial sweeteners in place of sugar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As food additives, artificial sweeteners must go through an approval process with the FDA (Food &amp; Drug Administration) before landing on the market. Therefore, they are safe in moderate amounts. Any sweetener you use in moderation should not harm you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There have been reports of people developing side effects from artificial sweeteners, such as headaches, weight gain, stomach upset, and other symptoms. With natural electrolyte drinks, fear of this won\u2019t be a problem. That\u2019s why CULT Botanicals created the best refreshing drinks with electrolytes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sports Drinks<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sports drinks, such as Gatorade, have a specific purpose. Athletes depend on them for hydration during sporting events and physical exercise because of their electrolyte content.\u00a0 However, they contain a lot of sugar&#8211;36 grams per 20-ounce bottle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, sugar is crucial for maintaining well-balanced glycogen stores in your body, but excessive amounts of sugar can decrease your ability to absorb nutrients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sports drinks come in a variety of flavors, but at what cost? The addition of artificial food dyes gives sports beverages their colors. Why compromise quality for taste?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Best Natural Electrolyte Drink<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only replenishing electrolyte drink you can get that is purely natural comes from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1YS5c0B7lsiAdnyfxlwubliO6Pdd9wcdt\/view\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CULT Botanicals<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and we call it Botanical Infusion.
