greetings! I made this up for convience when I go to the gym. typically I exercise, then sit in the sauna[heaven] for 20 min. I have 2 water bottles. one is a liter with 1/2 tsp him. salt for general hydration. the other is like 10 oz. I put 1/2 tsp him. salt, 3 TBS of lime water and 1 emergency C packet. top off with distilled water. this combo is tasty and gives me an up instead of usually feeling wiped out[ too many acids being released, I now know] I feel energized.The cold shower post sauna is helpful too.I have less muscle soreness.. and my pH is stable after exercising now. just thought I'd share that.. thanks moreless for your uncompromised stand...
