Make Your Own Pedialyte 2.0 – Full Electrolyte Replacement

Sat, 22 Apr 2017 00:00:00 +0000

This ORS (oral rehydration solution) is 10 times cheaper than Pedialyte and contains a wider array of electrolytes. Gatorade, in comparison, is a low electrolyte, high sugar mix and has nothing on this ORS besides marketing.

I wanted something to mute hangovers or to drink after a long day of sweating. But I don’t want to spend $4 on Pedialyte or drink a gallon of sugary Gatorade. This ORS closely follows the nutritional profile of Pedialyte. The ingredients are similar too, excluding Pedialyte’s additives to improve solubility and shelf life. As a powder, it is more convenient. Compared to a $4 bottle of Pedialyte, 1 liter of this ORS costs about 41 cents!

Recently I looked at the back of a hot dog package and I regret it. Not because of the ingredients list. The nutrition facts.

Think about this. One pound of pork has 95g of protein. One pound of chicken breast contains 136g of protein. One pound of cheap hot dogs (which are composed of pork and chicken) contains just 32g of protein. And yet, they aren’t much cheaper than chicken breast!

Making Cold Showers A Habit

Cold showers are like meditating - there should be more of it in your life, but it’s difficult to habitualize. I enjoy hot showers, so cold showers are difficult for me. And most of the advice on the subject hinders rather than helps. Below are the techniques and mindset that has helped me habitualize cold morning showers.

Use less water pressure. My shower’s water pressure rivals a fire hydrant, which isn’t very pleasant. I’ve found partially turning on the shower, so less water comes out, improves the experience.
