A little...

I’ve been riding quite the hypocritical journey the past few weeks, and definitely not practicing what I preach. Yeah, me…. Mr. Positivity. To sum it up, I’ve just been plain down…….and not really doing much to climb back up. I’ve recognized my mood and not really tried to cover it up…..I’ve just gone with...

Question: I am using the homebrew sugar formulations (sometimes added to green tea). I am also trying to wean myself off 1/2 dose adrenalean “lip tonic delivery system” (biorhythm brand- caffeine, hoodia g, synephrine, yohimbe) capsule for energy.
My question is other than juice, can you suggest modifications in lieu of table sugar for energy and hydration.
Answer:
Both raw/organic honey or agave can work great in the homebrew (substitute in the same quantities for the sugar, or to taste), but you do have to shake well in order to make sure they don’t settle out. Have you tried either of these? Also, make sure to use at least the minimum amount of salt recommended in the homebrew as the temps rise, you need the sodium replacement if you’re sweating.
