Do homemade electrolytes actualy work

[Ascendingmore]

I've been wondering if homemade electrolytes work and I couldn't rly find any thread about this. Most ik abt this is u have to balance magnesium sodium potassium and stuff so I've been wondering if mixing salt water lemon juice and some mandarines would actually help and if it's cope or not. From what I know if you consume salt everyday and balance it with some coconut water or smth similar it should work but I'm wondering if the "debloat drinks" u make at home actually work.

no they don't unless you are doctor or into chemistry

honestly homemade electrolytes are fine, it’s not that deep, your body doesn’t care if it came from a bottle or your kitchen as long as the minerals are actually there
the only thing that really matters is getting enough sodium and having some potassium to balance it, everything else is decoration
salt water with a bit of citrus and some fruit is already basically a ghetto gatorade, it’ll do the job
the whole “debloat drink” thing is just marketing but proper sodium potassium balance does make you hold less dumb water, so yeah it works but not because of the aesthetic recipes, it works because the minerals are right
if you’re using real salt and a decent potassium source you’re chilling, if it’s just lemon water with vibes it’s cope
