DIY Rehydration Drinks: How to Make Your Own Electrolyte-Enhanced Water for Cheap.

Electrolyte water isn't cheap, and compared to the tap, it’s pretty expensive. So in order for you to rehydrate, here I a recipe for you to make your own:

Agave Water

Doctor Oz recommends adding the following ingredients to about 1 liter of water.

-  ½ teaspoon of baking soda

-  2 tablespoons of agave nectar

-  ½ tablespoon of sea salt

Sugar Water

WebMD has a similar recipe, but recommends using sugar instead of the agave nectar.

-  1 quart of water

-  2 tablespoons of sugar

-  ½ teaspoon of baking soda

-  ½ teaspoon of table salt

-  ¼ teaspoon of salt substitute (potassium-based), such as Lite Salt or Morton Salt Substitute

Other potential ingredients include fresh citrus juice, which are high in calcium and potassium, and honey, which provides glucose and helps your body with mineral absorption. Experiment with the mixture and find out what works best for you.
