Natural Electrolyte Drink10/4/2021 “Summertime heat means it’s time for cold, refreshing, hydrating drinks! When the temperature goes up, you’ve been sweating during a workout, you’re sick or you’re a mama in labor, a DIY Natural Electrolyte Drink is what you need.”Natural electrolyte drinks are perfect for hydrating and replenishing the body. Usually my go-to is homemade strawberry Switchel, but I don’t always have the time to wait overnight for it to be ready. We all get depleted at some point. I know mamas out there can relate to this. Really, everyone gets stressed from time to time. Our culture does not focus on self care enough and often that means we run ourselves into the ground. Lack of sleep, stress, poor diet, intense exercise, not knowing how to say “no” to overdoing it on YourEllipticals and on and on all can end up leading to weakened immune system and mineral depletion. When these times come up it’s so important to take care of yourself and help your body by replenishing and nourishing it.
A word of caution though, not all electrolyte drinks are created equal. Most commercial sports drinks and other mainstream products that are marketed towards ill children are not so great. They are full of refined sugars, food dyes, and other questionable ingredients. But don’t take my word for it, check out the ingredients from some mainstream brands: “Water, Sugar, Dextrose, Citric Acid, Natural Flavor, Salt, Sodium Citrate, Monopotassium Phosphate, Gum Arabic, Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate, Glycerol Ester of Rosin, Yellow 6” There’s really no need to load your body up with those ingredients when it’s so easy to make your own, healthier DIY Natural Electrolyte Drink.
