Make A Homemade Electrolyte Drink

[carnine9 38]

 

Most people think of a sweaty athlete drinking a colored sports drink when they hear the word electrolyte. On the contrary, there are many ways to get fresh natural electrolyte replenishment from foods such as oranges, coconuts and honey, plus, save a few dollars by preparing your own sports drink that your body will embrace.

 

Water.

Water is the main ingredient as it will act as the primary carrier of the electrolytes. It must be as clean as possible to work optimally. If you do not have the luxury of a home bottled water dispenser, simply boil water in a tea kettle. Incidentally, distilled water–the captured vapor from boiling water–is the best. It is very close to pure water, having almost all trace elements such as minerals, pollutants and other contaminants, removed. If you want distilled water, it’s best to purchase it because collecting the vapor is difficult to do at home. Sometimes you can ask your bottled water carrier if they offer distilled water instead of spring. Tap water should be your last resort.

 

Salt.

Electrolytes are basically salts. Salts keep your body’s electrically conductive to maintain cell voltage for receiving or passing along information. Regular table salt works fine as long as it contains sodium chloride, which almost all salts are made of. Some also have potassium iodide, which is also excellent for your cocktail. If you can locate fine grain salt, it dissolves much faster. Using a mortar and pestle on regular salt work just as well

 

 

Citrus.

Oranges, grapefruits, tangerine, lemons and limes–try to always have these on hand as they are the best ingredients for electrolyte replenishment. Oranges are a particularly good choice. This is why you may have seen many athletes gorging themselves on juicy slices. Citrus fruits are great, even alone, for electrolytes. However, adding some other ingredients can enhance the effect.

Containers and Recipes.

When you make your electrolyte drink, make sure that you’re using a container that you like to travel with. If you like your container it will increase the chances that you will indulge in your drink concoction more often.

Saya penting garam halus, air masak, citric @ sodium & gula sikit. Then kadang campur madu lebah sikit @ Pati Delima Gulshan.  Kira lebih kurang macam oral hydration kat farmasi tu.

 

Cool gak.
