Hi ladies,

Can anyone suggest any good source to replenish electrolytes?

The reason I am asking - I saw my naturopath today (who is doing acupuncture to
treat my plantar fasciitis) and of course, she is looking at the bod as a whole
and not just the affected foot. So among other stuff, she did my body analysis
and the machine that she uses spits out a lot more than just the usual info re
BMR, BF%, amount of fat, amount of lean muscle mass, etc.

Turns out while I seem to be well hydrated, I lack water on the intracellular
level and I have way too much water on the extracellular level, which, she says,
is a way the body fights with toxins (by trying to dilute them). To make a long
story short .... she suggested this supplement to replenish my electrolytes (as
it is one way to increase the intracellular water) and sold me a container of
Endura. Later, when I looked at it, I decided right away that I am taking it
back because one scoop contains 29 grams of carbs and has 120 calories. (It
turns out that in addition to the electrolytes is also contains an unhealthy
dose of FRUCTOSE).
I am starting to feel that she treats me like a cash cow. The container cost $44
and it is good for 19 servings only. But it is the carbs & calories that really
irritate me. Especially when she told me that I wouldn't want to get my
electrolytes from Gatorade because it is full of SUGAR and other crap. Hah!!!

In general, I am not opposed to doing something about my electrolytes because I
do sweat like a pig with even a slight amount of exercise.

Opinions?

Thanks
Alena
