PSA! Potassium is so important for your heart. I was having trouble getting enough in my diet, but I found these low sodium cans of V8 have 600 mg of potassium and only 30 calories! 🩷

Me, a POTS person who essentially only drinks electrolytes with added salt, watching other people just drink water, being confused, like your body just ABSORBS WATER?! That's amazing!

Knocking back those electrolyte/ salt tablets with thrice the recommended dosage because I skimped and didn’t take them daily like I said I would

(Also I sweated on my walk through 9°C (48°F) weather)

Hello friends, today I wanted to talk about electrolytes. We hear a lot about them when it comes to sports drinks and sweating, maybe even after a night of partying, but what the heck are they and why are they so important that we need to be replenishing them with specialized beverages?

Let's start with the most important question- what even are electrolytes?

According to the Cleveland clinic,"Electrolytes are substances that have a natural positive or negative electrical charge when dissolved in water. An adult's body is about 60% water, which means nearly every fluid and cell in your body contains electrolytes. They help your body regulate chemical reactions, maintain the balance between fluids inside and outside your cells, and more."

We may be familiar with some of these electrically charged minerals like::

Bicarbonate -your body uses this to keep your blood pH levels normal.

Calcium- used to control your muscles, transmit signals in your nerves, manage your heart rhythm and more.

Chloride- a key part of how your cells maintain their internal and external balance of fluid. It also plays a role in maintaining the body’s natural pH balance.

Magnesium- Magnesium helps your cells as they turn nutrients into energy. Your brain and muscles rely heavily on magnesium to do their job

Phosphate- a key part of transporting chemical compounds and molecules outside your cells. It helps your cells metabolize nutrients

Potassium- especially critical to your heart function

Sodium- Sodium plays a critical role in helping your cells maintain the right balance of fluid. It’s also used to help cells absorb nutrients. It’s the most abundant electrolyte ion found in the body.

As we have examined previously, many of these nutrients can be found in a wide assortment of foods. However, If you lose a significant amount of these minerals when you're sick, either through vomiting or diarrhea, or intense sweating, you will likely need to make a special effort to replenish electrolytes. Ok, but why? When the body is lacking electrolytes it can result in fatigue, headache, nausea, muscle cramps, and an overall feeling of low energy.

People who have POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) often have a hard time with hydration and maintaining fluids. As a result, folks often have to make a concerted effort to consume sodium and electrolytes regularly to avoid unpleasant symptoms like headaches, nausea, poor sleep, weakness and fatigue, poor concentration and memory, and shaking/sweating.

Alright, good to know. So how does my body use these magical electrolytes? Your cells use electrolytes to conduct electrical charges, which is how your muscles contract. Those same electrical charges also help with chemical reactions, especially when it comes to hydration and the balance of fluids inside and outside of cells. The key principle that electrolytes rely on is that certain chemical elements can naturally hold a positive or a negative electrical charge. When those elements are dissolved in a liquid, that liquid can then conduct electricity.

Fantastic! So does that mean I should be buying every electrolyte product marketed to me? Not necessarily, as many sports drinks contain high levels of sugar and artificial dyes. Companies like Liquid IV and Skratch Labs have created drink mixes aimed at replenishing hydration and electrolytes while being more conscious of their nutritional profile. I've personally tried them both and I like them both. They do the job of hydrating the body well without the artificial dyes and excess sugars. I can't drink anything with red 40 because I have an allergic reaction every time, so these are a great alternative to conventional sports drinks. Not to mention both brands make great flavors which actually taste good. I use them whenever I feel dehydrated or under the weather in any way.

Stay hydrated my friends!

Homemade Electrolyte Drink

4.5 from 2 votes

Making your own homemade electrolyte drink or homemade sports drink is incredibly easy. Also, this way you know exactly what you’re putting into your body.Prep Time5 minutesTotal Time5 minutesServings1 pint

Ingredients

1¾ cup herbal tea, water, or coconut water

⅛ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt

2 teaspoons raw honey (or maple syrup, to taste)

¼ cup lemon or lime juice

½ teaspoon calcium/magnesium powder (optional)

US Customary – Metric

Instructions

Start making your homemade electrolyte drink by brewing the tea and letting it cool slightly; or, slightly warm your alternative base liquid.

Add salt, sweetener, and calcium magnesium powder (if using). Mix to dissolve.

Add juice. Mix and taste. Adjust juice or sweetness levels as desired.

Recipe Video

Notes

This homemade electrolyte drink will last a week in the refrigerator. You can always double or triple the recipe to make a big batch if you know you’ll be needing it.

You can also make this recipe with half the liquid base, and freeze it as ice cubes to use as needed. Simply fill a glass with the electrolyte cubes and add water.

Aliens didn't help the Egyptians build the pyramids. There were some there but they just watched and occasionally handed out alkaline water and activated almonds.

Promising electrolytes for solid-state batteries based on viscoelastic inorganic glass

Recent advancements in the development of hybrid and electric vehicles have increased the need for highly performing battery technologies. Research teams worldwide have thus been working on a wide range of alternative battery solutions, while also trying to identify new promising electrolytes for these batteries. Batteries containing solid electrodes and a solid electrolyte, known as solid-state batteries, could be a viable alternative energy storage solution for electric vehicles. However, the traditional inorganic ceramic electrolytes and organic polymer electrolytes often suffer from either poor flexibility or mechanical properties, which adversely impacts the batteries' performance. Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences recently discovered new electrolytes for solid-state batteries based on a class of viscoelastic inorganic glass (VIGLAS). Their paper, published in Nature Energy, shows that these electrolytes possess characteristics of both inorganic and organic electrolytes and could significantly improve the stability of all-solid-state battery cells.

Combatting Dehydration

Dehydration is not fun. It can cause dizziness, nausea, fever, headaches, constipation, and a multitude of other health concerns. Not to mention deprivation of your cells of what they need to regenerate. Avoid dehydration by drinking 7-16 ounces of water for every pound of sweat you lose during exercise, incorporating water and/or water based drinks throughout the day when not exercising, and being cognizant of when your body tells you it needs water - dry mouth, thirst, twitching, etc.

If you do become dehydrated, please remember it may take two to three days to fully recover. You will have lost electrolytes, so be mindful to increase intake of sources of electrolytes such a Pedialyte, sports drinks, coconut water, and some milks.

A fun way to maintain hydration is infused waters. A Vitamix AER Disc can infuse water in 45 seconds and still provide the full, rich flavor one would experience from leaving the water mix to marinate in the fridge for a week. Forty-five seconds versus seven days is instant gratification and satisfaction.

There are powder alternatives, which require adding water. By finding flavors and flavor combinations you enjoy, water becomes more palatable. Fruit juices, teas, and coffee count, but sodas and alcohol do not. However, be mindful of caffeine content with coffees and teas. For some with ADHD, caffeine may have a bad side effect. Additionally, caffeine is a diarrhetic, which may cause frequent urination and bowel movements.
