Can someone please recommend how to make an electrolyte drink for exercise. I work out everyday and sweat a lot. Now that the weather is getting hot I feel like I loose energy after sweating.

Just buy some grua le (powder form of electrolytes and put it in your water). You can buy it in most pharmacies and Makro.

No need to make anything; just get yourself fresh coconut juice. The real stuff, without any added sugar. Super healthy, delicious and loaded with electrolytes.

If you feel the need buy some re-hydration sachets from the local pharmacy - mix with water according to the instruction and drink !

All pre-measured balanced and containing all the electrolytes needed.

Those are the ones i was talking about, before I bought them at the Makro pharmacy in bulk. (now I dont use them anymore)

Costs about 5 baht a package at Seven Eleven

+1 - all the 7 elevens have them...though at Macro will cost less as yo ucan get them in bulk.

Coconut water is indeed an excellent fluid/electrolyte replacer but not as convenient to buy, carry home and store. The sachets are easy to carry with you too if going to a gym. Then just mix in a water bottle.

Put coconut water from coconuts in jar and let sit for a few days and it becomes coconut kiefer that is and amazing electrolyte and the fermenting turns the sugar into powerful probiotic so there is no sugar . To make it even more potent when you put the water in a jar add a little probiotic started powder . After a few days sitting then put in fridge and you have a simply brilliant after workout drink . Klong Toey sells large fresh coconuts with 10 in a bag for 190 baht . I go through about 20 a week and use the meat scooped out and frozen as and ingredient for green smoothie so whole coconut gets used .

Where can I get the probiotic starter powder?

Great post Lumbini, it had never crossed my mind to try Coconut Kefir seems ideal for Thailand

You really don't need starter powder . Just putting coconut water in jar for a couple of days it ferments with the sugar in the water and then you have powerful drink without the sugar since is been converted . After the water sits 2-3 days in jar refrigerate . I get 20 coconuts drain the water and put in big jar 3 days and then refrigerate . This way after I run I have a tall glass ( 3 fermented bubbly coconuts worth of water with 2 scoops of protien powder in it daily .

You can buy starter powder at drug store or put a couple of probiotic tablets in water when you make it but just coconut water in a jar left in room for 2-3 days does the trick . At Klong Toey market bag of 10 fresh large coconuts is 190 Bhat this week . After you drain coconuts of water cut shells in half and scoop meat out and freeze as and ingredient in smoothies if you have blender . Don't blend coconut water you ferment though as the speed of blender creates fiction and heat and this kills the good bacteria your fermenting makes .
