1. cleanse drink electrolyte water 

 Electrolytes are charged minerals that help you stay hydrated. The body loses water and electrolytes everyday from sweating during exercise or hard work and from illnesses such as diarrhea.  This water, sometimes referred to as mineral or alkaline water, contains minerals with electrical charges — such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Interestingly, even seawater naturally contains electrolytes in the form of various salts.

  • Step one: Easy and cheap: buy a good quality Himalayan salt & good baking soda (baking soda alu free)
  • step two: Purify water through a filter, add a sprinkle of the salt shake and there you have your electrolyte water. 

Himalayan pink salt is ideal for hydration since it contains essential electrolytes such as potassium, magnesium, and calcium in addition to sodium chloride. The electrolytes you absorb from salt are essential to regulate your fluid balance and stay hydrated.

step five: pour mixture over base, cover with a plate and set in freezer for about 4 hours or overnight.

step six: Once set decorate with extra blueberries.
