Make Your Own Electrolyte Water
Recipe:
- 1 cup coconut water (Organic)
- 2 cups water
- ¼ tsp high-quality salt (sea salt, Redmond, Celtic)
Optional upgrades if needed:
- A squeeze of lime or lemon for trace minerals
Say NO to powders, Gatorade, and Pedialyte!!!
Full benefits, system by system
1. True cellular hydration, not just wet urine
• Sodium pulls water into the cell, not just through the kidneys
• Potassium keeps that water inside the cell
• Proper osmotic balance reduces dehydration symptoms even when you’re “drinking enough”
This is the difference between hydrating and just flushing.
2. Nervous system stabilization
• Sodium and potassium regulate nerve signaling
• Helps reduce dizziness, anxiety-like sensations, racing thoughts, and fatigue
• Supports vagal tone, especially important if you’re fasting or under stress
People often mislabel electrolyte imbalance as “anxiety.” This mix quietly fixes that.
3. Blood pressure and circulation support
• Adequate sodium prevents orthostatic hypotension (lightheadedness when standing)
• Potassium supports vascular relaxation
• Helps stabilize blood pressure instead of swinging it
Low sodium plus fasting is a common mistake. This corrects it.
4. Adrenal support without stimulation
• Provides minerals the adrenals need to respond to cortisol appropriately
• Does not spike cortisol like caffeine or sugar
• Especially helpful in the morning when cortisol naturally rises
This supports circadian rhythm instead of fighting it.
5. Kidney-friendly hydration
• Dilution protects kidneys from excess potassium load
• Sodium helps kidneys reabsorb water instead of dumping it
• Reduces strain from overhydration or plain water chugging
Counterintuitive truth: plain water can stress kidneys when minerals are low.
6. Muscle and joint function
• Potassium reduces cramping
• Sodium supports muscle contraction and relaxation
• Helps prevent tight calves, foot cramps, jaw tension, and neck stiffness
If someone cramps while “hydrating,” they’re missing sodium.
7. Digestive support (quiet but important)
• Sodium supports stomach acid production
• Minerals support smooth muscle movement in the gut
• Helps digestion without activating appetite aggressively
That’s why this works inside Digestive Rest without disrupting the fasted state for most people.
8. Energy without glucose dependence
• Minimal sugar avoids insulin spikes
• Minerals improve mitochondrial efficiency
• You feel steady energy, not wired energy
This is metabolic support, not stimulation.
9. Safer fasting support
• Prevents headaches during fasting
• Reduces fatigue and nausea
• Lowers risk of electrolyte depletion during prolonged fasting windows
Many fasting “side effects” are actually electrolyte errors, not fasting problems.
10. Anti-inflammatory by omission
• No artificial sweeteners
• No citric acid overload
• No synthetic potassium salts
• No dyes or preservatives
Sometimes the benefit is what you’re not putting in your body.
