    Yes, all the ways in which human lose water they also lose electrolytes (“salts”). More with sweat, but still some with urine. So, re-hydrating should include at least some of those. This has been known for decades, tho ravers often forget it and have died from hyponatremia.

      All except one: you also lose water through exhalation, particularly in dry air. It’s basically never going to be the main way you lose water, though
