Electrolytes are mineral compounds essential for cells, nerves, blood, tissue, muscles and organs to function optimally. We all know that we lose them and the support they provide when we exercise and sweat out our water reserves. We all know how convenient it is to replenish electrolytes with quick-to-the-rescue drinks bought easily at any corner store. However, have you thought about the preservatives and chemicals or the artificial colors or sweeteners that the major brands put in that easily accessible bottle? If you have, this DIY is for you!
For a clean-drinking, tastier take on a replenishing beverage, try one that begins with Celtic sea salt. With just a few ingredients, you’ll have a cool and quenching drink to help your body run at top form. Celtic salt provides trace minerals such as magnesium, chloride, sodium and potassium while lemon and lime add calcium. Baking soda delivers alkaline properties that can help reduce inflammation. Honey adds a healthier form of carbohydrates and sugar along with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This drink is fun to make, tastes phenomenal and delivers all the things you want with nothing that you don’t. Mix this one up!
