What would one consume to replenish electrolytes for the human body besides sports drinks?

I’ve read that sodium and potassium are examples of electrolytes. Recalling my high-school and college chemistry I can see why sodium would be an electrolyte since it helps conduct an electric current, but I never heard that about potassium. So besides eating bananas and salty foods I was wondering what other “natural” sources of food and/or liquid provides the body with what would be considered electrolytes. (Yes, I’m prepping for a long distance event, incase you were wondering. ;-)
PLEASE NOTE, I’m looking for “natural” (vs. man-made) foods and/or liquids.

  1. Believe it or not, pedialyte is probably one of the best things to use in order to maintain and replenish electrolytes. Children lose them fast when they are sick, so this is like a turbo charge of the body’s electrolytes. Tastes pretty good too.

  2. Emergen-C comes in little packets, that you can carry with you and they contain vitamin C and electrolytes. They mix easily with water, come in an assortment of fruity flavors, and are about as natural as you can get.
    You can buy them at most health food stores, and some drug stores. (my spelling might be a little off, but it is close enough to get you there — Emergen-C )
