Make Your Own Sports Drink


Start with a powdered dink mix, like Tropical Punch Kool-Aid.  Add the recommended amount of water, but use only half the drink mix. 

This will give you a thirst quencher with about a 6 to 8  percent sugar concentration - just like standard sports drinks.  Anything sweeter will slow water absorption and prolong dehydration.

Drink 1/2 to 1 cup of your homemade power drink every 15 minutes whenever you exercise vigorously for an hour or more.
