How to make your own electrolyte drink

There's no need to go out and buy those super sugary, highly salty sport drinks. You can make your own at home for dirt cheap and it honestly tastes better, and is better for you.

This one is super simple. I can't take credit for this recipe, it was passed on to me by my wise supervisors while in med school.

This recipe is for 1 litre of water. You can adjust the scale to make as much or as little as possible. I suggest making a big batch to keep in the fridge on standby.

The ingredients:

• 1L water (for hydration)
• 1 Tbsp honey (to give us fuel while being active)
• 1/4 Tsp salt (to replace electrolytes lost)
• 1/4 Tsp baking soda (to replace electrolytes lost)
• 1/2 a lemon 
• Combine all the ingredients into a glass container and stir. You can tweak the amounts based on your personal preference and needs. This is the recipe that I personally like. Squeeze as much lemon as you like until you find your fav ratio. 

And voila! You are now officially sponsored by your own electrolyte drink company! Well not really, but you can pretend.
