Homemade Sports Drinks For Excessive Sweaters

It seems like everywhere you look, be it in magazines, television commercials or store displays, there are sports drinks being focused upon. They tend to lean towards the idea of people who exercise simply must have a sports drink in order to re-balance this or that level in their system.

One potential problem is however: Have you noticed how expensive these “must have” beverages are? Yes, it’s true that our body requires a certain level of electrolytes, sodium and potassium, but you don’t need to spend a fortune in the process even if you sometimes sweat excessively. Keep reading and you’ll find a couple of recipes to make your own sports drink, without the heavy price tag attached to it.

Recipe #1 - This is a basic recipe for homemade sports drinks.

Ingredients:

7 oranges 2 limes 3 lemons 1 cup sugar or sweetener (such as Sugar Twin or Splenda) 1 tsp salt 2 quarts water 1 large pitcher

Ingredients:

900ml water 1/4 tsp salt 100 ml grenadine or flavored syrup
