What do electrolytes and sodium have to do with hydration? Is water alone not enough?

Ever since I started running, all I know is that I need to drink a sh*t ton of electrolytes. But I would like to understand why on a physiological level.

Everyone keeps mentioning the body, but your brain needs those electrolytes as well to keep doing good brain stuff. Sodium and potassium help your neurons get their messages from place to place so you don’t end up with brain fog, dizziness, personality changes or a straight up seizure.
