Electrolyte Drink

lemon

Apple

tsp Ground Pink Himalayan / Sea / Rock Salt

tsp Cream of Tartar (this can be replaced

Mix all of the ingredients together and drink at least once a day. Have it more often if you like, and have it at any time of day - we prefer the morning but others prefer the evening. You may benefit from taking the drink more than once a day if you&#39;ve been exercising, it&#39;s particularly hot, or you are suffering with restless legs.

Continue to top up on electrolytes throughout the day by adding salt to your water. This can be Pink Himalayan, Rock, or Sea Salt - not table salt as this has had the minerals removed. You can also use Lo Salt instead for an extra potassium boost. Your water should not taste salty, so add a little at a time and dilute if needed.
