What role do electrolytes play in a low-carb diet and how can they be managed?

Electrolytes play a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contraction, especially on a low-carb diet where fluid loss can be higher. To manage electrolytes, include foods rich in potassium (avocados, spinach), sodium (salt), and magnesium (nuts, seeds) in your diet. Staying hydrated and monitoring electrolyte levels can help prevent imbalances. Consult with a healthcare provider if experiencing symptoms of deficiency.
