Whether you’re sweating it out in the summer heat or during a high-intensity workout, replenishing your body's essential minerals is important.
Dr. Sebi's DIY Electrolyte Drink, crafted with natural, alkaline ingredients, as well as our Sea Moss Gel, is designed to hydrate and energize your body. And it makes a much healthier alternative to high-sugar sports drinks, store-bought electrolyte drinks, and chemical based electrolyte powders.
Ingredients
- 1 liter of spring water
- 1 tablespoon of Dr. Sebi’s Cell Food Sea Moss Gel
- 2 tablespoons of organic agave syrup (for natural sweetness)
- Juice of 1 fresh lime
- 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt (rich in minerals and electrolytes)
- A pinch of cayenne pepper (optional for a metabolism boost)
Directions
- Prepare the ingredients: Squeeze the lime to extract its juice, and ensure the sea moss gel is well-stirred and smooth.
- In a large pitcher, combine the spring water, lime juice, agave syrup, and sea salt.
- Stir thoroughly until all the ingredients are fully dissolved.
- Add the tablespoon of sea moss gel into the pitcher. Stir well to ensure the mixture is uniform.
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper. This step is optional but can add both flavor and increased circulatory benefits.
- Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to enhance the flavors and provide a refreshing taste.
- Pour into a mason jar and serve chilled.
Benefits
Proper hydration is crucial for bodily functions, including temperature regulation, joint lubrication, and nutrient transportation. That’s why the base of this DIY electrolyte drink is spring water. Every sip you take gets you closer to the one gallon of spring water a day that Dr. Sebi recommended.
The addition of sea salt adds a variety of trace minerals like sodium, magnesium, calcium, and potassium, which help maintain fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contractions.
Plus, our sea moss gel is rich in iodine, which supports thyroid function, and contains bioavailable forms of magnesium and potassium, vital for cellular function and maintaining electrolyte balance, which can also help prevent muscle cramps.
Organic agave syrup serves as a natural sweetener with a low glycemic index, making it a healthier alternative to refined sugars. It provides a quick source of energy without causing significant spikes in blood sugar levels.
Lime juice is a great source of vitamin C, an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage. And cayenne pepper, though optional, contains capsaicin, which improves blood circulation and metabolism.
Enjoy this refreshing drink as part of your daily routine to stay hydrated and energized!
