If i added a couple teaspoons or tablespoons of salt and sugar to a bottle of water would ot replenish my electrolytes or whatever is lost when sweating alot?
>>
No. You have to mix in the right quantities of each so the total is isotonic

What are the right quantities to make a sports drink isotonic

Is that even real
>>
>>37899142
Yes. This is real thing that has been around since before commercialisation of "sports drinks"
>>
>>37899142
I hope they don't strain their lower backs
>>
>>37899142
they not only have sodium but potassium aswell. find a source of potassium to add and you will be well on your way.
>>
Buy Gatorade powder you mongoloid
>>
>>37899142
-1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice
-1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
-1 ½ to 2 cups fresh water, depending on how strong you want the flavor
-1/8 teaspoon of sea salt
-2 tablespoons natural sugar or honey, to taste

literally gatorade without the food coloring.

>>37899280 is retarded, liquids only need to be isotonic if you're planning on injecting them into your blood stream. "Right quantities" means use your common sense, aka if it tastes like ocean water there's probably too much salt.
>>
Oj+lemon juice+lime juice+ pineapple juice+ salt
>>
Lmao you don't need that
>>
>>37899142
Id like to replenish some electrolytes up those fine little butts, knowwhatimsaying
>>
>>37899142
OP, squeeze a lemon into that bottle
>>
>>37899280
1 liter of water
40-80g of sugar, depending on how much carbs you want/need (never go over 80)
1-3g of salt, the more you sweat, the more salt you need, depends on you're climate
Don't bother with a sports drink if you're working out less than an hour
Drink about 200ml every 20 minutes.
