Coconut Water: A Budget-Friendly Electrolyte Boost

G-Day everyone,

There has been a lot of talk lately about electrolytes. It is essential to not only drink lots of water to keep hydrated but to keep your electrolytes up to the right levels. I have not only bought ready-made drinks with all the right additives in the past, but I have also made my own following professional advice. I have come to the conclusion that the right drink to keep all ostomates at the right levels of electrolytes without breaking the bank is COCONUT WATER.

Try it and read all about it, and I think you might like it.

Thanks, Iggie,

Just recently, I saw something about coconut water and electrolytes. I am having a problem with this and, as I have never tried coconut water before, will give it a try. What I sometimes drink is called Power Ade and is blue. That was suggested by my doctor's office a few months ago. It, however, has Blue 1 in it for the color. And that is the flavor with the least colors. I called the company and asked why they put it in their drink. The person feigned ignorance as to the needless addition of something petroleum-based. I don't drink it much, owing to that alone. I believe that coconut water will be just that. At least, I hope so.

Let us know how you go with Coconut Water.  Regards IGGIE

Well, our son will have to go shopping for the turkey very soon. I will ask him to pick some up and go from there. Yup, our 63-year-old little boy also goes grocery shopping for us as I cannot leave the house and his dad is not able to do anything for himself. Without him, we would have to do what so many other old people have been and are doing. Those who, like us, live in the country and just cannot take care of themselves any longer. Thank goodness, so far, so good. Although, I am about to put my husband in a nursing home. That will leave me also dependent on our son and granddaughter in some ways. Everybody has problems, don't they?

G-Day Oldtimer,  I lost my lady 10 years ago and I know how its going to hurt you to put your Husband in a Nursing Home. But it sounds like you have a very caring son, tell him from me if he doesn't look after you I will come over and kick his butt. Only joking you tell him from me he is a 100% gentleman and I admire him for looking after his Mother & Farther. I hope you like the Coconut Water and that is keeps you Hydrated. Regards IGGIE
