when you sweat......

when you sweat you lose a lot of water plus a lot of electrolytes. Electrolytes are minerals that help with the contraction of muscles and the regulation of water in your cells. The most abundant  electrolytes are potassium, chloride , and sodium. when they are released from your body they form a salt which cause sweat to have such a salty taste (if you've ever tasted it ). Regulating the amount of water in your system is important because it can cause you to become dizzy and get cramps. This relates to chemistry because it talks about salts and elements such as potassium, chloride, and sodium
