Performance Nutrition for Football: Replacing Electrolytes Prevents Muscle Cramps
By Lisa Dorfman, MS, RD, CSSD, LMHC
Replace electrolytes with sports drinks,  salty snacks, fruits and vegetables
The loss of electrolytes such as sodium and potassium through sweat can lead to muscle cramps, nausea, vomiting and even death.
Electrolytes are minerals (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and

body, and are involved with muscle contraction and relaxation during
exercise, so that an imbalance can impact the actual contraction of the
muscle itself.
Sports drinks contain sodium and potassium in various amounts to prevent
cramping.
