Turns out I have an electrolyte imbalance.

Coconut h2o and the vinegar derived from it will help.

The best workout drink on the planet is coconut water. Coconut water will hydrate the blood and replace electrolytes faster than any other solution. [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12056182]

Of the major electrolytes in the body (listed below) just two of them are not found in coconut water: chloride and bicarbonate.

Since most of us probably get too much salt in our diets, the lack of chloride electrolytes in coconut water is usually not a problem, but if it is extremely hot out, you might want to put a pinch of Celtic Sea Salt in your coconut water. Bicarbonate (HCO3-), on the other hand, is not something we get much of in our diets, but since it’s a vital component to maintaining an alkaline pH in the body, our bodies will take carbon dioxide (CO2) and covert that to carbonic acid (H2CO3) which in turn loses the hydrogen and turns into bicarbonate which is then released by the pancreas.

If, however, you are doing a major workout (such as high intensity weight lifting, or running a marathon) your muscles are going to build up lactic acid and cause your muscles to ache. The bicarbonate electrolyte is the one that counters lactic acid. Thus, prior to a workout, I drink 12 ounces of Perrier water. And if your workout is intense or it’s hot out and you are really sweating, it’s pretty smart to add a bit of Celtic Sea Salt to your Coconut Water.

Here are the major electrolytes in the body:

sodium (Na+)
chloride (CL-)
calcium (Ca2+)
magnesium (Mg2+)
potassium (K+)
bicarbonate (HCO3-)
phosphate (PO42-)
sulfate (SO42-)
You will notice that they all have an electrical charge (hence the name electrolyte). These electrical signatures create a “circuit” (a path around which electricity flows), which moves nutrients to the areas that need them the most. Or, as we stated in our article on Celtic Sea Salt, “Charged minerals go right to where they are needed.”

But just as important, electrolytes are inextricably involved in the electrical impulses operating our brains and nervous systems.

Without electrolytes, we cease to function and die. An imbalance (having too much of one or more electrolytes) can also be dangerous.

This is the connection between sea water and amniotic fluid, and the secret behind the healing powers built into Celtic Sea Salt and Coconut Water. Amniotic fluid and sea water carry electrolytes in perfect balance. No salt has a closer constituency to sea water/amniotic fluid than Celtic Sea Salt. The electrolytes and tiny amount of glucose in Coconut Water is so well balanced that Coconut Water can be used as plasma in an IV drip.

This also should tell us why the average person is not very healthy. In one lecture I attended a few years back, I learned that 90% of Americans suffer from either an imbalance of minerals or from a lack of minerals. The good news is that the human animal, with proper nutrition and minerals, can start to bounce back within 30 days.

We’ve mentioned in another article at this site how our cell membranes use cholesterol to create hydrophobic (water hating) bonds. Without these bonds, we’d all melt in a rain shower. Even more interesting is the simple fact that our cell membranes are the wiring systems that carry the electrical charges from electrolytes, which maintain our steady voltage. And perhaps even more interesting, if you’ll excuse the digression, is that each living cell gives off a light known as bioluminescence, but that’s a whole nother ballgame.

As you can see, the cell membrane is not just an overcoat that holds all the good stuff inside the cell. It is so important to the overall function of the human body that we must now bring in a short, but important, digression:

It's how I survived the DR.

Coconut Vinegar

Here is a little bonus for you: Coconut Vinegar is made from Coconut Water. Same electrolytes, same nutritional values, same amino acids. Like Apple Cider Vinegar, it's anabolic (builds up) rather than catabolic (breaks down, like white vinegar). And some of you will love this: It's lighter tasting, and less sour than apple cider vinegar. I've already substituted Coconut Vinegar in all my recipes that call for Apple Cider Vinegar, and they turned out perfect. Soon I shall be making pickles with it.

I use this exclusively now instead of ACV.

Infused water is another route. I drink 1-3 quart jars daily. It's supposed to help with your ph levels, especially first thing in the morning. It gets my energy levels up faster than coffee.

My current and probably most effective blend is:

2 slices lemon or lime
2 slices cucumber
1 green tea bag.

The price of coconut h2o has skyrocketed due to recent popularity, so I supplement with the above to cut down on supplement costs.

On top of the diabetes? Did you get an appointment scheduled at the diabetes unit?

[Agreddor]

I don't have diabetes. One of the posters suggested that I get checked for it.
