The Hornet’s Nest Net Episode 33 Nutritional Needs
Daily Energy Needs - Calories:
Baseline (sedentary): 2,000–2,500 kcal/day
Active (physical labor): 2,500–3,500+ kcal/day
Cold weather/extreme conditions: Up to 4,000+ kcal/day
The World Health Organization (WHO) has a standardized formula for
Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) designed to treat dehydration from diarrhea,
heat stress, and other causes—ideal for grid-down, field, or off-grid use.
✅ WHO ORS Formula (Per 1 Liter of Clean Water)
Ingredient - Amount
Table Salt (NaCl) 2.6 grams (~½ tsp)
Baking Soda (optional version) 2.5 grams (~½ tsp)
Trisodium Citrate (preferred) 2.9 grams
Potassium Chloride (KCl) 1.5 grams (~â…“ tsp)
Glucose (sugar) 13.5 grams (~6 tsp)
Clean Water 1 liter (33.8 oz)
🔬 Why It Works
Sodium & potassium: Replaces lost electrolytes
Glucose: Helps absorption of electrolytes via the sodium-glucose co-transport mechanism
Citrate or bicarbonate: Helps correct acidosis from dehydration
🧂 Field-Ready Homemade Version (Simplified)
If you don’t have lab-grade ingredients:
½ tsp salt
6 tsp sugar
1 liter (quart) of clean drinking water
½ tsp baking soda or a splash of orange juice/banana (for potassium if available)
