Natural Electrolyte Energy Drinks | Rehydration Drink Recipes | with step by step photos and videos. Got a cold or the flu? Need to rehydrate? Or play a lot of sports and looking for a healthy alternative? Try this Homemade Electrolyte Drink Recipe, full of flavor and natural ingredients!
Drinking enough pure clean water is one of the most important things we can do for overall health. In most cases, water alone is wonderful. For times of exercise and exertion where sweat causes mineral loss, a homemade natural electrolyte drink recipe can also be helpful.
Here’s why?
Plain water doesn’t contain high levels of electrolytes. The body loses a lot of minerals during exercise. It can be helpful to add electrolytes and minerals to help rehydration after times of high-intensity exercise or lots of sweating. This doesn’t mean we should all be drinking electrolyte drinks on the regular, but they are helpful at times.
What are Electrolytes?
Electrolytes are minerals that help regulate processes in your body. While most often thought about when it comes to hydration, they also help with your nervous system and muscle function. You’re probably familiar with many of the electrolytes, including:
- Calcium
- Chloride
- Magnesium
- Phosphate
- Potassium
- Sodium
If your electrolyte levels are too low or too high your body gets out of balance and it could lead to some serious symptoms.
How to make Natural Electrolyte Energy Drinks at home?
Natural Electrolyte Energy Drinks | Rehydration Drink Recipes | with step by step photos and videos. Making your own homemade electrolyte drink or homemade sports drink is simple. While water is the best way to hydrate, sometimes you need an extra boost. When you sweat, your body loses minerals, and adding these mineral electrolytes back into your body helps it hydrate more effectively. Here I am going to share with you 2 electrolyte drink recipes that will be very much useful.
- Lemon-Ginger Electrolyte Drink
- Orange Electrolyte Drink
The key ingredient in making the best homemade electrolyte is to use high quality, mineral-rich, pink Himalayan salt. Not only is it flavorful, but it is also naturally fortified with 84 trace minerals that are essential for our health. Moreover, this salt maintains proper fluid balance, thus preventing dehydration and also helps prevent low blood pressure.
Additionally, I would like to highlight our cocktail drink recipes from the beverages section.
