Why This Works as an Electrolyte Drink

✔️ Sodium (Himalayan salt) → Prevents dehydration & maintains fluid balance.

✔️ Potassium (OJ, coconut water) → Supports muscle function & hydration.

✔️ Magnesium (Coconut water, salt) → Prevents cramps & aids muscle relaxation.

✔️ Calcium (Himalayan salt) → Strengthens bones & supports nerve signaling.

✔️ Natural Sugars (Honey, OJ) → Provides quick energy & aids electrolyte absorption.

✔️ Ginger → Soothes digestion & has anti-inflammatory benefits.

A Note On The Key Minerals in Himalayan Salt & Their Benefits

1. Sodium → Maintains hydration, supports nerve & muscle function.

2. Potassium → Balances fluids, helps prevent muscle cramps.

3. Magnesium → Aids muscle relaxation, prevents cramps, and supports energy production.

4. Calcium → Strengthens bones and supports nerve signaling.

5. Iron → Helps transport oxygen in the blood, preventing fatigue.

6. Zinc → Supports immunity and wound healing.

7. Iodine → Essential for thyroid function and hormone balance.

8. Sulfur → Helps detoxify the body and supports skin health.

9. Phosphorus → Aids energy production and bone health.

Why Use Himalayan Salt in an Electrolyte Drink?

Unlike regular table salt (which is mostly sodium chloride with added iodine), Himalayan salt provides a broader spectrum of minerals that can help maintain electrolyte balance naturally. While the amounts of these trace minerals are small, they still support overall wellness and hydration.

💡 This is an easy, all-natural electrolyte drink using everyday ingredients while giving your body a wide range of essential minerals.
