Make ur own supercharged sports drink



Kitchen tip no. 74

Make ur own supercharged sports drink 
at home (On the lines of Gatorade )



Ingredients:-


80 GM Rasna soft drink concentrate (ready mix ) powder (orange or lime )
1 litre chilled water
One packet of Electral powder (22 GM )
2 tablespoon of sugar

(This recipe makes 2 servings of 500 ml each )


Method :-



Mix all the ingredients together & transfer/funnel it into recycled mineral water bottles , store in the fridge . Consume chilled .

FOOTNOTES :-
Water is the most important nutrient for our body.
Water regulates body temperature & maintains blood volume.
(Electrolytes are salts such as sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium & chloride. These salts help muscles to contract and relax and assist in the transmission of nerve impulses from the brain to different parts of the body.)

This above-mentioned recipe equals the electrolyte replacement found in many popular drinks like GATORADE , POWERADE, in the market.
Use it as a replacement to drinking water during intense workouts to replenish the combination of water, carbohydrates, and electrolytes that an athlete loses in sweat during rigorous gym workouts ,intense athletic games and competitions .




Some one who works out hard and constantly perspires in the gym/game court/stadium needs to reload these essential trace minerals that are lost through perspiration , what the body craves for immediately following an intense workout is plain water because one tends to get thirsty due to excessive perspiration and increased physical activity so if this water is infused with some electrolytes It helps the body to replenish essential minerals to overcome instant fatigue and provides energy to continue working out until the end of the session.
Even someone who doesn't work out can consume this, anyways Red hot October is barely a few days away .Its a Great power drink to kill the summer heat& its definitely better than the harmful coke & Pepsi.

** One 22gm packet of Electral contains the daily requirements of an average Indian male . If you plan to drink a lot of this energy water (due to a marathon/competition ) I would suggest to dilute the power drink by adding chilled water.Do not exceed more than 22 gm of Electral in a 24 hr period .

** Gatorade is a Pepsi brand , Powerade is a Coke brand ,both are Multi national companies , why in the world would we spend rs 40/- for a 500 ml bottle that contains salt , sugar and a soft drink concentrate, just because its cool to be seen with a branded sports drink bottle,We Indians are so naive & gullible, No wonder the dollar crossed the Rs 65/- mark.

** Recipe costing -This recipe gives us a yield of 1 liter and cost less than Rs.25/- & tastes better too. That's hypothetically saving you rs 55/- every day,one can buy 2 pairs of jeans with that saved money at the end of every month .Think Global - Act Local .

** I was a national level power-lifter until I broke my back in 1996 in a nasty gym accident . I used to consume liters and liters (diluted)of this everyday in the gym and out of it too(I also used to add about 1/2 liter of lemonade/orange juice /grapefruit juice (sugar-free)to this ) .I swear by this recipe ,This stuff is addictive in a super healthy way.
