Homemade Electrolyte Drink Recipes

Electrolytes are electrically charged minerals that play a role in nerve function, muscle contraction, pH regulation, and water balance. Common causes of electrolyte imbalances are intense activity and illness, leading to dehydration. Electrolyte imbalances can be harmful to health, so it's important to take action to restore this balance when dehydration occurs.

Sports drinks provide fluids and electrolytes, but commercial sports drinks contain many additives, including refined sugar and artificial sweeteners, colors, and flavors. You can easily make a healthier version at home using simple and natural ingredients.

Coca Cola is poisoning you! Avoid it at all costs!

It can be used as a pesticide, clean copper coins and to clean the rust and oil off your car.

Why are we still drinking it? It's literally nothing but a concoction of sugar syrup, synthetic flavors, and corrosive acid. Not to mention that the cola corporation is one of the biggest polluters on the planet selling 3500 plastic bottles per second. A single can of Coke contains 37 grams of sugar. It spikes your blood sugar fast, contributes to weight gain, diabetes, tooth decay, poor sleep and has negative effects on the brain.

It contains phosphorus acid which is a corrosive chemical that makes Coke an awesome cleaning agent. Which begs the question, what does it do to our insides? It may cause stomach problems, kidney disease, kidney stones, liver problems, and weaken bones. It also zaps nutrients in the body, increases body acidity, causes inflammation, and damages tissues.

Coke has absolutely zero nutritional value. The only reason to drink it is if you are a sugar addict. While a can of coke occasionally isn't going to kill you, I'd still choose water fruit juice or a nice homemade iced tea anytime.

Processed foods are "industrial formulations. These ingredients are usually not used in home cooking, and may include substances extracted from foods (such as oils, starches, and sugars), additives (such as emulsifiers, stabilizers, and flavor enhancers), and synthetic compounds (such as artificial colors and sweeteners). Examples of processed foods include soft drinks, chips, candy, ice cream, cookies, cakes, hot dogs, nuggets, pizza, and instant noodles. Really anything that is not whole foods.

Processed foods are bad for you on many levels, because they are high in calories, sugar, salt, and fat, but low in nutrients, fiber, and antioxidants. They can cause weight gain, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and other chronic diseases. They affect your brain function, mood, and mental health. For instance, studies have shown that pprocessed foods can increase the risk of depression, impair memory and learning, and trigger addictive behaviors.

You shouldn’t have to count calories if you start reading the ingredients on your food!

Not all calories are equal.

For example, you can eat one Tw***ie loaded with high fructose corn syrup, artificial colors, polysorbate 60, and cellulose gum – and it will be 140 calories.

On the other hand, you can choose to eat a large pear full of fiber, phytonutrients, copper, vitamins C and K, and still ingest about 140 calories.

Which is the better choice?

It’s obvious! Your body treats calories differently, depending on the source.

That’s why knowing what is in your food is KEY!

Eliminating processed products loaded with food additives is one of the best decisions you can make.

Using watermelon wedges as a base, these revitalizing fruit pizzas are a great addition to any summer gathering!

INGREDIENTS
For the base:
• 2 sliced pieces of watermelon

For toppings:
• 1 cup mixed organic berries (blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
• ½ organic peach, apple, or pear, sliced
• ½ organic plum, sliced
• 1 organic orange, peeled and divided

Optional toppings: bits of cacao, chia seeds, coconut shreds, a few leaves of organic mint, or drizzle yogurt on top.

DIRECTIONS
1. Divide both watermelon slices into 5 pieces.
2. Sprinkle one half of orange over the apple, pear, or peach slices. The orange will prevent the fruits from browning. Divide all the pieces of sliced fruit equally over both watermelon bases. Spread the slices over the watermelon bases or arrange them per fruit on each individual slice. Add your optional toppings and enjoy!

So many variations you can make; have fun with them!
