Do You Drink Gatorade?

I won’t drink it at all. The dyes and sugar etc in it is why. It’s making a huge amount of profits for something that we could make our self at home with inexpensive ingredients.

No, but my Doctor had me make my own homemade electrolyte drink this weekend because my BP was low. It is very easy to make. 2 oz fruit juice, 1/8 tsp salt, and then at least 6 oz of water and mix. Doesn't taste great but does the trick if you need it.

@SlippingAway You still need magnesium, two ounces of fruit juice would not have enough potassium.

@NativePortlander1970 Yes probably not, that's a good point. That's how they told me to make it but yes magnesium is good to have

@SlippingAway The bad thing is nutrition is an elective in medical school, and too many docs don't take it, when it should be mandatory.

@NativePortlander1970 I think they take one semester of it but think that is about change

@SlippingAway That’s a great thing to suggest.
