How do electrolytes help treat dehydration?

Research indicates that oral rehydration solution (ORS) containing electrolytes is faster at compensating for dehydration than water alone.

Water alone: It is absorbed slowly and does not replace lost minerals.

Electrolytes: The presence of sodium + glucose activates the "co-transport mechanism" in the intestines → The body absorbs fluids 2–3 times faster.

The result: a return to normal hydration, energy, and mental capacity in less than an hour, according to the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO).
