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.

why people eat animal food, even after knowing that it is not good for health? do we have the right to kill?

the health research all over the globe says emphatically that vegetarian food is not only good for human body and also gives long life. But I find people preferring nonvegetarian foods. When we can not create life can we kill life. plant is also life. But it is very low form of life. We kill the goat because it is less evolved than us. look into its eyes and observe & realise the innocent looks. How can we kill our own brother and sister in the form of cow, pig, sheep or goat whatever. I fail to understand why animal lovers tolerate this massive massacre of the innocent animals just ot fill the ruthless human bellies. I see some people who love the dog kill a pig and give the flesh to the pet dog. it is justified to kill one animal to satisfy another animal or man.If one visits the slaugher house and observes how the animals cry when they are butchered, go to sea shore and see how the fish wriggles before it dies, I bet they can never their dead bodies. cut you body before u cut others

How much weight can the average human body lose within a week without eating?

I am studying survival skills within the human race and I have to write an essay for this. Thanks A bunch :D

Food Preservatives and their effects on the human body? Funerals and embalming?

I’ve been trying to find some information about food preservatives, but the Internet doesn’t give enough details. Here are my questions (post if you know an answer to any of these or have any help/info:

-Do food preservatives have a negative effect on the human body? (and which ones are capable of doing what)
-How negative/bad can those effects get?
-How much has to be ingested for harmful effects on the body?
-Do they affect the body’s immune system?
-Got any helpful websites about food preservatives and their effects on the human body?

-Okay, random, but I ran across this idea in a manga, xXxHolic. A girl dies but her body doesn’t rot days after her death because, supposedly, the preservatives found in food got into her blood system and it literally preserved her body. Is such a thing possible? (How freaky would that be??)

I really appreciate those who’ve answered my previous questions by the way. I know they seem random.

Additional:

I’ve been doing researching on funerals and embalming too. I think if I just looked a bit harder, I could find the answers to these questions, but I would appreciate help:

-Websites about either embalming process and how funerals work always appreciated
-How many days after a death is a funeral held, normally? Could it even be held the day after if the body could be prepared in time?
-Other than burial and cremation, any other types of funerals?
-What information is usually given on a tombstone? Name, life span I know but any other info normally given?
-How long does it take to prepare a body before it is buried? To cremate it?
-Is it legal to bury someone in the backyard (not a murder, a known death) or to make your own private family cemetery just outside/near your home?
-Odd question, but… I’ve been seeing so many Christian cemeteries, are there any cemeteries that are specifically for non-Christians?

Scaring you people? Ha, well, I just need this information for research.
Don’t you “mx mx” me.
Ahh I was thinking I’d never get an answer… Thank you so much.
