Cells use electrolytes to help&nbsp;maintain electrical currents between the muscles and nerves, be it for managing heart rhythm, muscle contractions, or brain function. The body needs electrolytes in order to prevent muscle cramping, but mostly to keep the body from shutting down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The body loses electrolytes via sweat, and parents must ensure that children who are playing all the time replenish their electrolytes, especially during warmer months. While water is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/water-the-miracle-drink-that-will-improve-your-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a necessary component to optimal physical health<\/a>, overconsumption of water can flood the cells and evict the electrolytes, which muscles, tissues, and nerves need to function properly. Drink half your bodyweight in ounces of water for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/how-much-water-do-you-really-need-to-drink-every-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">optimal hydration<\/a>, but focus on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/electrolytes-why-you-need-them-where-to-get-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ingredients that are naturally rich in electrolytes<\/a> to refuel\u00a0the cells with these essential minerals and vitamins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Unhealthy Electrolytes You Don\u2019t Need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When people think of electrolytes, they immediately think of&nbsp;Powerade, Gatorade, and other popular sport\u2019s drinks. These drinks are dangerous for your health because they are often rich in high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, red 40, blue 1, sucrose syrup, and monopotassium phosphate. Rather than subjecting your body to these toxins, consume DIY drinks that contain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/replace-sugary-sports-drinks-with-diy-electrolyte-drinks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">great sources of natural electrolytes<\/a>. Celtic sea salt, raw honey, hibiscus tea, and 100% pure coconut water are all rich in electrolytes, and they\u2019re in the following recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lime Cooler<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bd teaspoon Celtic sea salt<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2-4 tablespoons raw honey<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bd gallon filtered water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Instructions:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Combine all of the ingredients in a large pitcher and stir well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Refrigerate before serving.
