This yummy pancake muffin recipe contains lemon juice which is great for post-run recovery. We lose fluid through sweat when we go for a run and drinking plain water replaces the fluid that we lose. However, we also lose electrolytes through sweat when we run and even though plain water can replace the fluid we lose, it does not contain all the electrolytes our bodies need replaced when we sweat. Lemon juice has many of the essential electrolytes such as potassium that we need and can be a great option for post run rehydration.
Replacing the electrolytes we lose from sweat is important. We need to keep our muscles healthy and strong so we can stay active. We do this with adequate muscle function, and we need electrolytes for proper muscle function.
