The four electrolytes are sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium. Electrolytes help maintain proper fluid balance, nerve function, muscle contractions, and overall cellular function. Adequate electrolyte balance can help sustain exercise performance by preventing fatigue, muscle weakness, and cognitive impairments associated with dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. Electrolytes are found in many foods, the most common is salt (sodium) but other natural electrolyte sources include bananas (potassium), dairy (calcium), and spinach (magnesium). In ancient times, marathon runners were known to consume salt and other minerals to replenish their electrolyte balance.

EAAs are a group of nine amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own and must be obtained through the diet. These amino acids include histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. EAAs may enhance exercise performance by providing the necessary building blocks for muscle energy production and reducing muscle breakdown during exercise. These amino acids are found in high protein foods, both plant-based (like soy) and animal-based (like meat and dairy). Ancient cultures, such as the Incas, consumed quinoa, a good source of EAAs, as a staple in their diet.

B-vitamins are a group of water-soluble vitamins that play essential roles in various metabolic processes within the body. While they don't directly provide energy like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats do, B-vitamins are critical for converting nutrients from food into energy that can be used by the body. Historically, a deficiency in certain B-vitamins was known to cause diseases like beriberi and pellagra. Foods rich in B-vitamins include whole grains, beans, peas, and nuts.

Magnesium is an essential mineral and one of the four electrolytes, and is used to maintain proper fluid balance within and around cells. Magnesium deficiency has been associated with muscle cramps and spasms. Adequate magnesium intake may help prevent these issues by supporting proper muscle function. Found in foods like almonds, spinach, and avocados, magnesium has been used since ancient times, when Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) were used for its muscle relaxation and health benefits.
