But remember they use electrolytes, sodium and potassium to generate those action potentials to actually get neurons to contract, to be able, excuse me, muscles to contract and for our brain to function and to be able to think.
The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
And a key example of this are the neurons, the nerve cells of your brain that allow you to think clearly, to exercise hard, et cetera. Neurons require sodium in order to fire what are called action potentials or electrical signaling between neurons. And they require potassium and magnesium. And those have to be present in the correct ratios in order for your brain and body to function optimally.
they actually require sufficient amounts of sodium and potassium and magnesium but especially sodium and potassium available to them in order to fire what are called Action potentials or electrical signals that's what allows you to think to feel to move what gives you energy
