Thank goodness for this Homemade Electrolyte Drink Recipe!!  I’ve started the Ketogenic Diet and I have learned that electrolytes are mandatory for this way of life. It’s not a suggestion. If I don’t have this drink, I feel horrible and the scale doesn’t move in the way I want it too!  Seriously.

If you are new to the Ketogenic Diet (Keto Diet for short), here’s a good explanation of how it works and how to start:  Simple Way to Start the Ketogenic Diet

The Ketogenic diet “flushes” your system… You need salt to hold in some of the water to stay hydrated. I found this to be very confusing in the beginning. Your body will signal what it needs and soon you will know exactly what you are low on by those signals.

This is my morning drink. Sometimes I drink it twice a day. If I don’t drink it, I get headaches.

How do electrolytes help the body?

Electrolytes are essential minerals that play a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance in the body. When we sweat, we lose electrolytes like sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. These minerals help regulate nerve and muscle function, maintain proper hydration levels, and support cardiovascular health.

When the body is low on electrolytes, it can experience a range of symptoms, including muscle cramps (muscle weakness), weakness, fatigue, brain fog, nausea, and dizziness. Adding electrolytes back into the body through electrolyte supplements or drinks can help alleviate these keto-flu symptoms and promote overall hydration and health.

Therefore, consuming electrolytes is important, especially for individuals who are on a low-carb or keto diet, as they tend to lose more electrolytes due to lower insulin levels.
