make your own electrolyte drink

I don't know if anyone is interested, but here is a recipe for making your own electrolyte drink ( I found it somewhere years ago- I worry about additives in bought/processed items)- this is cheap too! :

1 quart boiled filtered water
2 Tblsps honey
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda

keep only 24 hours

That has to taste bad... does it?

Maybe I'm used to it- it's not so bad at all- but then again, it wouldn't exactly be your first choice for a relaxing drink on the patio. Mia

Not sure about the baking Soda but I will give it a try. Thanks for the info.

I do know that if you are full of gas a table spoon of baking soda in 8 oz of water really helps you get it out fast. BTW usually in one big loud long burp.

if you can find a product called "Half Salt", it Canada it's put out by the Windsor salt company. It's half actual salt and half potassium chloride, it's much better than using straight salt as it helps correct the salt/potassium levels caused by dehydration. Most people remember to up the salt intake, but usually forget about the potassium.
