Cells are like batteries: energy comes from mineral balance.
Dr. Berg points out that the cells in our bodies are actually like billions of miniature batteries .
Every cell relies on the " sodium-potassium pump " mechanism to generate electricity and energy through the difference in mineral concentration inside and outside the cell.
The intracellular matrix is mainly composed of potassium , while the extracellular matrix is mainly composed of sodium .
This potential difference allows muscles to contract, nerves to conduct signals, and organs to function.
However, the problem for modern people is that they are severely deficient in potassium and consume excessive amounts of sodium .
Many people consume 3,000 to 4,000 milligrams of sodium daily, but only about 1,000 milligrams of potassium, causing their bodies to be unable to maintain normal energy flow, resulting in symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, and weakness.

Why are modern people deficient in potassium?
- Eating too few vegetables : The main source of potassium is dark green vegetables, and it is recommended to consume 7 to 10 cups daily.
- High-sugar diets : Sugar and high-fructose corn syrup deplete the body's potassium reserves.
- Excessive consumption of processed foods : These contain large amounts of sodium and chemical additives, further disrupting electrolyte balance.
Dr. Berger emphasized, " Energy comes from a mineral concentration gradient , not simply from eating more sugar or caffeine."
Electrolytes: Key to Replenishing Cellular Energy
Electrolytes are needed to recharge cells.
The ideal electrolyte ratio should be high in potassium and low in sodium, with the addition of elements such as magnesium, calcium, and chloride.
Dr. Berg recommends choosing electrolyte powders that do not contain sugar or artificial sweeteners , and ensuring that:
- Each serving contains 1,000 mg of potassium (instead of the usual 99 mg) .
- Free of maltodextrin and extra sugar
- Natural flavor, can be mixed with drinking water
He pointed out that after drinking the correct ratio of electrolytes, a feeling of energy will appear within minutes , making it especially suitable for people before and after exercise or those who are easily fatigued.
Natural ways to boost cellular energy
- Eat more vegetables : Dark green vegetables are the best natural source of potassium.
- Reduce sugar and processed foods : Avoid high-fructose and refined starches.
- Adequate supplementation with magnesium and vitamin D helps with electrolyte transfer between cells.
- Stay hydrated : Drink enough water so that electrolytes can function properly.

The source of energy lies in the cells, not in coffee.
Fatigue is not necessarily caused by not getting enough sleep, but rather by insufficient "energy" in the cells.
Replenishing the right electrolytes can help your body reboot, make your mind clearer, and give you more energy for exercise.
