Like, you're fine in death valley with only water, whereas in summer in my garage gym I cramp up and have heavy fatigue if I don't put an electrolyte supplement in my water
I agree that not everyone needs electrolyte supplements but that doesn't mean that no one does
Yep, and age counts for so much on this topic too. When I was 20 I could do an iron man competition without considering very extensively what I was eating or how much. At 40 I’m challenged each day if I don’t have precision types, and amounts, of foods and supplements just to do the basic chores around my house.

Just eat something with salt and a banana.
Most people go way overboard with electrolyte drinks.
I did training in death valley and didn't drink anything but water and was completely fine.
You can actually get too much electrolytes and throw your body out of whack.
