Because most store bought ones are full of things I can't pronounce.
Living in California means I'm outside a lot. Between training, long walks, beach days, and just being in the sun most of the day, I go through so much water. But water alone doesn't always cut it, especially when you're sweating consistently or spending hours in the heat. Your body needs electrolytes to actually absorb and use that hydration, and I notice a real difference on the days I skip them.
I've tried most of the store bought electrolyte packets and honestly I don't love what's in them. A lot of them are full of artificial sweeteners, weird coloring, and ingredients I can't even pronounce. The thing is, it's so easy and so much more delicious to just make your own at home with real ingredients. This is the recipe I keep coming back to.
Everything I know about the practice, the body, and the day — written down.
