## Important Consideration - **MUST READ** {#important-consideration-must-read}
|
|
|
|
**THE BELOW IS FOR AVOIDING DEHYDRATION OR VERY MILD DEHYDRATION**
|
|
**THIS IS NOT GOING TO HELP WITH MODERATE TO SEVERE DEHYDRATION**
|
|
**IF YOU'RE CONCERNED SEEK PROPER MEDICAL CARE**
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Critical Notes and Information {#critical-notes-and-information}
|
|
|
|
- You **MUST** include a glucose (sugar) source for proper uptake of water and electrolytes (salts primarily)
|
|
or the solution will be non-effective.
|
|
- Potassium is an important electrolyte, not just sodium (salt).
|
|
If possible, include a source of potassium as part of the recipe.
|
|
See the ASU recipes for examples of getting potassium.
|
|
- Potassium can be skipped but a food source for replenishing potassium is important if more than mild dehydration occurs.
|
|
- If using coconut water, make sure it's unflavored, unsweetened, etc. I use Vita Coco Coconut water 'pressed coconut'
|
|
- Use fresh fruit(s) for best effects ; juices tend to be processed heavily and may not have a good level of
|
|
citric acid present which is part of the WHO recommendations for a hydration drink ingredient
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Salt Source {#salt-source}
|
|
|
|
- Assume 'salt' means one of the following
|
|
- Himalayan pink salt
|
|
- Sea salt
|
|
- Kosher, iodized salt
|
|
- Himalayan pink salt is the least processed
|
|
followed by sea salt
|
|
followed by standard table salt (get kosher, iodized salt if going with standard salt)
|
|
- Sodium levels for the above salts are about equal
|
|
and the crystal size adds the most variability to sodium level obtained
|
|
(bigger crystal == less sodium)
|
|
- Practically all 3 forms of salt can be swapped freely
|
|
|
|
|
