DIY Electrolyte Drink

[@kimjohnson7469]

It is really sad that this kind of misinformation is given to millions of people on a top rated TV show. Adding a little bit of table salt is doing nothing for balancing your electrolytes. You need magnesium, zinc, potassium, etc….and if the salt isn’t coming from the sea or mountains, it ‘s just sodium. Also, there is no need for all the sugar! You can put a little stevia, monk fruit or erythritol in it and it won’t spike the blood sugar or cause insulin problems. This is idiotic. 6 tsps of table sugar to 1 liter of water! And it’s okay for babies?! I have to go cry now…

[@62maybiesjr]

Exactly

[@jujuapple6706]

Do u know on electrolyte drink or powder we can use?

[@wheetypeedy]

Well, honey does have nurtrients in it. I prefer molasses, redmons sea salt too. I actually made myself a drink with lemon juice, coconut water salt and potassium this morning. I ran out of my favorite brand so I had to make it. I never got shaky or dry mouth like I had before. So it worked very well for me. I agree with to lack of information and misinformation though. But no sugar! Its not needed. However, Its better for third world countries that need energy because being dehydrated ususally means the child is also hungry.

[@19grand]

If salt doesn't come the sea or mountains, where does it come from?

[@okrainz]

@@jujuapple6706 just buy Gatorade powder lol it’s cheap as hell and does the job decently well

[@theo2z1z94]

I don't think rocket science is needed to realize adding syrup to already sugary non fibrous orange juice is not a low sugar beverage.

[@PhotonGames]

We're staying away from those sugary drinks. Proceeds to add 2 kinds of sugar.

[@umaroxp5207]

Exactly I was like wtf?? That drink is 100% sugar, just to mask the taste of a little bit of salt. Like why did they even add maple syrup?

[@PhotonGames]

@@umaroxp5207 Because it's "healthy" sugar.

[@mothershelper1981]

@@PhotonGames healthy sugars are fine, like maple sugar and honey. They even have healthy minerals in them if you buy the right kinds that aren't overly processed. But I don't understand why she is using highly processed sugar that is devoid of any minerals or health value. Also she should have specified sea salt or Himalayan pink salt rather than everyday table salt which has anti-caking ingredients, iodine, etc. I've been hearing a lot about salt that has micro plastic particles in it a lot lately also.

[@PhotonGames]

@@mothershelper1981 Healthy sugar is still sugar. syrup and honey will still spike blood sugar and insulin like crazy. Fine in moderation, but there are better sources of nutrition.

[@mothershelper1981]

@@PhotonGames I totally get what you're saying. Keep the sugar as low as we can. Just that if we are going to use something in that category at least unrefined sugars can be used by the body for energy versus the empty calories of refined cane sugar and corn syrup that are probably GMO with no redeeming qualities like minerals etc. Over the years I trained myself to not crave sugars and I keep monk fruit, dates syrup, raw local honey etc around so that if I do want to add a little sweetener at least it's not downright dangerous. All things all things in moderation has been one of my favorite phrases for years.

[@lilisobrite]

Coconut water is natural & contains all the electrolytes

[@mothershelper1981]

As long as you get coconut water that isn't mass produced and loaded with cane sugar or corn syrup. The whole point of making your own is to avoid excessive sugar and chemicals like preservatives.

[@Healthwithharry]

Really

[@bullsharkdb]

wrong

[@peterschmidt6754]

Wow she just added sugar plus sugar to this “avoid sugar” drink!!! Are you kidding me 😮!

[@devintompkins9626]

Lmao, the drink she is making has more sugar in it than Gatorade anyways. Fruit dr8nks are pure sugar FYI.

[@1320alibaba]

This is garbage! 1 litre of water, half tsp of Himalayan pink salt, half tsp of cream of tartar (potassium), 1 tbsp of good ACV and 1 tbsp of lemon juice... mix well. Much better for you than all that sugary crap!

[@zsrz4877]

Thank you for your recipe. I was cringing at registered dietitian’s sugar fest.

[@1320alibaba]

@@zsrz4877 Thank you and you are welcome. I thought the advice given in this video from a dietician was appalling. Way too much sugar, especially for folk that might be diabetic, insulin resistant, or even just for folk in general.

[@xxh3951]

Is there any optional ingredient for tartar(potassium)?

[@Troutower]

Can you tell me where the magnesium comes from in this recipe? I have used this recipe, which is great, but I am at a loss to find what supplies the magnesium. Thanks.

[@blujack100]

Way too much sugar. Orange juice is basically sugar water.

[@williammiller402]

If this is the best medical advice from an "accredited hospital" then I fear for anyone taking their lousy sugar-packed advice.

[@chairmanofthebored8684]

I looked at the back of a Pedialyte bottle to see what I needed to make it myself. 1) roughly 1 TSP potassium chloride (a.k.a. "NoSalt" or other salt substitute 2) about 1.5 tsp non-iodized salt 3) 16 oz filtered water 4) single-bottle packet of sugar-free drink mix, like Crystal Light 5) 1 adult dose tablet of Zinc, or in powder form....You can also add a calcium+magnesium powder to it.

[@aintnobodygottime4dat]

you can guess from the moment they mention WHO their credibility goes straight down the toilet.

[@CarnivoreLineage]

Says it's low in sugar and immediately adds sugar. The misinformation is cringy.

[@thusnjak1]

That was salt, not sugar. Try listening

[@CarnivoreLineage]

@@thusnjak1 she added orange juice, lemon juice and maple syrup which is all sugar. Do you understand now?

[@pixiegutierrez7401]

You’re so RIGHT!!! Sugar doesn’t satisfy thirst nor helps contains electrolytes.

[@62maybiesjr]

@@thusnjak1 It's both if you pay closer attention.

[@Villarreal422]

She said low in sugar not no sugar. That drink has six table spoons of sugar compared to 54 grams of sugar in a Gatorade. Now if she said sugar free drink then yes you actually have something to cry about.

[@rosemariebredahl9519]

Lite salt or other potassium-containing salt, in addition to a smidge of magnesium (& some like the taste of water that has some crumbs of Zinc added) will better replenish nutrients lost via perspiration, diutetics such as caffeine &/or alcohol, &/or diarrhea, &/or vomiting, &/or increased breathing rate (relative to humidity there), etc..

[@pullingthestrings5233]

I guess anyone can be a Dr these days 😅

[@CharGC123]

Ha, this is from an "accredited hospital".... who, like almost all hospitals, have no clue about nutrition! I'm a former diabetic who reversed it eating whole food plant based, and was admitted for 5 days for an injury. There was barely anything I'd eat on the menus. Every meal included some dead animals and processed junk, totally disgusting. Even my oatmeal came with processed meat and eggs. So 5 days of bland soupy oatmeal, dry salads, soggy overcooked veggies, incinerated baked potatoes, and fruit salad... about the only thing that was decent!

[@RadonehereGamer]

1 liter water, 6 teaspoons sugar, half teaspoon salt

[@pixiegutierrez7401]

😓😳 you all need to really inform yourselves.

[@tonymoran9794]

You should be ashamed of yourself recommending that much sugar to children. Give parents an alternative and if they want to pour maple syrup or sugar in, they’ll do the on their own.

[@beardedcanadian2844]
