Tired of expensive “fasting salts” and supplements? The truth is, you don’t need them. With just tap water, a pinch of salt, and a squeeze of lemon, you can create the perfect electrolyte drink to power through your fast—without fatigue, headaches, or cravings.
This simple, science-backed recipe prevents dehydration, balances electrolytes, and makes extended fasting effortless—all for pennies per serving. Here’s how to do it right.

Why Electrolytes Matter During Fasting

 When you fast, your body flushes out water and electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium). This can lead to:

✔ Fatigue & dizziness (low sodium)
✔ Muscle cramps (low magnesium/potassium)
✔ Headaches (dehydration + electrolyte imbalance)

Most commercial electrolyte products are overpriced and overcomplicated. The solution? A natural, dirt-cheap alternative that works just as well.

The Ultimate Fasting Electrolyte Drink (Serving)

Recipe:

• 1 liter of water (filtered if possible)
  
• ¼ tsp Himalayan salt (or sea salt) for sodium
  
• ½ fresh lemon (for potassium + flavor)
  

Why It Works:
✅ Himalayan salt – Contains 84 trace minerals, including sodium for hydration.
✅ Lemon juice – Provides potassium and makes water more palatable.
✅ Tap water – No fancy alkaline or electrolyte waters needed.

When to Drink It:

• Morning (replenishes electrolytes lost overnight)
  
• Mid-fast (if you feel lightheaded or tired)
  
• Before bed (prevents nighttime dehydration)
  

3 Common Fasting Electrolyte Mistakes (And How to Fix Them)

Mistake: Drinking plain water all day (dilutes electrolytes).
Fix: Add salt + lemon to at least 1–2 liters of water daily.

Mistake: Using table salt (lacks minerals).
Fix: Switch to Himalayan or sea salt.

Mistake: Overdoing electrolytes (can cause nausea).
Fix: Stick to ¼ tsp salt per liter—no need for more.
