For those of us el cheapos, I have been told by a licensed physical theropist that if you squeeze half a lime in about a guart of water you will get all of the benefits of gatorade without the sugar, etc...
That therapist needs some more education. The lime juice only offers flavor via ascorbic acid. It supplies just about zero sodium or potassium... you know, the electrolytes that this thread is about. It doesn't always pay to be cheap.
+1 on Gookinaid/HydraLyte. It's the number one choice of people who make their living operating in the Grand Canyon. In a pinch, diluted Gatorade isn't too bad either but the HydraLyte is a better electrolyte formulation.
