Make Your Own Electrolyte Beverage (Gatorade, Pedialyte, etc.)

Make Your Own Electrolyte Beverage (Gatorade, Pedialyte, etc.)

To one quart of water
add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda,
1 teaspoon of salt,
and 8 teaspoons of granulated sugar.
Thoroughly mix all ingredients together.

This will replace electrolytes lost by the body due to dehydration caused by diarrhea, vomiting, excessive sweating, etc. A package of Kool-Aid, Crystal Light, etc. may be added to enhance the flavor and color.
