After walking in the heat, your body needs quick hydration, electrolyte replacement, and cooling refreshment. Here are some quick and easy homemade drinks to help with that . Great natural alternatives to commercial sports drinks, which often have too much sugar and artificial additives !
π₯€ Quick Rehydration Drink (DIY Electrolyte Refresher)
πΉ Ingredients:

1–2 teaspoons of honey or sugar

Juice of half a lemon or lime

π Instructions:

Mix everything in a glass.
