That's about right for the salt, but a lot more sugar than I use - I make it by the Liter and can't recall where I got this recipe - I got it before Gatorade was around and have since modified to try to make it more physiological and palatable. 1/4 tsp of lite salt or salt (50% sodium chloride / 50% potassium chloride) 4 tablespoons of frozen orange juice concentrate 1 tsp of lemon juice I use this everyday in the gym in my water bottle. (By the way - Normal saline solution used in medicine is 0.9% and takes 9 grams per liter which is about 1 1/2 TEAspoons of salt. But that tastes way too salty to drink. A 5% Dextrose (sugar) IV has 50 grams of sugar which is about 3 TABLEspoons of sugar which is just about right for a re-hydration drink. 4 tablespoons of OJ concentrate is about 1/2 that. Going on the low side of the salt and sugar will help your body absorb the water better than Gatorade.) |
