Drink
Salted lemon electrolyte water
For the first two weeks, when the headache and the flat legs are almost always salt and potassium going out faster than they are going in rather than anything to do with carbohydrate.

- Low-sodium or lite salt from the grocery store is potassium chloride, which is the ingredient this needs and the cheapest way to buy it.
- Dissolve both salts in a little warm water first. Tipped into a cold pitcher they sink and the last mouthful is undrinkable.
- Lemon juice in after the salts, which makes the whole thing taste like a drink rather than like seawater.
- Start with less potassium salt than the recipe says and work up. It is faintly metallic and people differ a lot in what they notice.
- Sip it across the day rather than drinking it at once. Taken in one go most of it is simply passed.
- If a headache is severe or lasts beyond two weeks, that is worth a doctor rather than another glass of this.
