Since sodium is so important to keep electrolytes up in our body why does our body sweat it out instead of just simply water?

Because if you sweat out just water, salt would be a higher concentrate in your body. The ratio of salt and water in your body is important.

Edit: think about how high your sodium levels would be if you didn’t sweat it out.
