How to Make a Homemade Electrolyte Energy Drink?

Electrolyte energy drink, the most common drink, is most often suggested by doctors to people suffering from dehydration. Other than this, we are so used to noticing every athlete drinking these sports drinks, but no one has a clue why.

We never stopped and thought of why athletes are drinking these sports drinks or why they are so essential after a long, tiring athletic session. Well, these drinks have electrolytes in them.

The first question that hits your mind will be, Electrolyte? What are they? There are a number of electrolytes, but what’s important for our body is potassium, sodium, calcium, hydrogen phosphate, hydrogen carbonate, and magnesium chloride.

The electrolytes regulate our nerve and muscle function, the pH of our blood, and basically our hydration. They rebuild damaged tissue and determine blood pressure.

Electrolytes are as necessary to our bodies as other nutrients. As it is wisely said, when a person does a workout for more than sixty minutes and sweats, then there is a drastic need for him to restore his electrolytes.

Not only athletes, but we normal people also need extra energy at times. Times when our body is less energetic due to dehydration, sweating, or we have done some extra calorie-burning work, as sometimes keeping ourselves hydrated is not just enough.

Despite the fact that our bodies are very much capable of hydrating themselves, we need a little extra, and these electrolyte drinks fulfil that little extra. You can call it a fuel for our body, which helps us get going.

Homemade Natural Electrolyte Energy Drink

Earlier use of electrolyte drinks was not required as the electrolytes needed in our body were provided with water itself, since the water we drank used to be pure and loaded with minerals, but now water is filtered and purified and has lost its earlier value, and electrolytes must be found elsewhere.

Many such kinds of drinks are available in the market and are popular through their advertisements. But why use those overpriced, artificial sweetener drinks when we can make one of them at home, and that too very easily.

The sports drink available in the market may provide you with energy at once, but the harm it does to your body is not well-known to those using it.

The best is to make an energy drink at home, the most natural and healthy, and the easiest way to provide you with electrolyte intake.

The ingredients used in making a homemade electrolyte energy drink are all those that are great sources of electrolytes, such as lemons, limes, oranges, salt, honey, water, coconut water, sugar, strawberries, and so on.

Citrus fruits are said to be the richest sources of minerals, or we can say electrolyte-rich. There are many recipes for making this energy drink. One such homemade electrolyte energy drink is as mentioned below:

Orange Energy Drink

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed Lemon Juice
• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed Orange Juice
• One and a half to 2 cups of fresh water
• 1/8 teaspoon of Sea Salt
• 2 tablespoons natural Sugar or Honey, to taste

Toss everything into a food blender and blend until the honey is dissolved. Have a glass full of ice, and enjoy. You can double the ingredients or cut them in half, as per your need, and you can add different flavors of your choice, such as cherry juice, grape juice, etc.

But make sure you do not get inclined towards the taste thing. Otherwise, its nutritional value will be compromised.
