Let’s talk about the importance of electrolytes in labor.
Electrolytes are a fancy name for the minerals magnesium, sodium, potassium and calcium. These minerals make up about 1.89% of our body weight and are vital to our nerve and muscle function.
Electrolytes are chemicals that conduct electricity when mixed with water, which is how they allow our muscles to contract and our bodies to move.
Your uterus is a muscle that needs to contract to birth your baby. When you sweat in labor (labor can be compared to running a marathon) your body looses water and electrolytes.
Try eating Honeydew during labor. Honeydew is made up of 90% water and filled with 4 electrolytes-potassium, magnesium, sodium and calcium which is everything you will sweat out during labor. Honeydew is also filled with rich nutrients so eating during pregnancy is beneficial.
Fact is, man can not create anything that Mother Nature has already provided for us. Do not use synthetic electrolyte drinks during labor. They are filled with processed sugar, synthetic and chemically made electrolytes, food dye and high fructose corn syrup.
Start eating Mother Nature’s Gatorade like Honeydew, your body will thank you!
