5.Do I Need a Sports Drink?
Almost never. These blends of water, salts, and sugars are made for high-level athletes, like marathon runners. Most of us don’t need anything more than water during exercise. You’ll only have to work harder to burn off the extra calories from sport drinks. If you do intense training for more than an hour, then they can make sense. Even then, you won’t need to start drinking one until the second hour.
6.Oral Rehydration Solution
When dehydration is mild or even moderate, you can often kick it with plenty of water. But if you have severe diarrhea or are throwing up, an oral rehydration solution might help. It’s more often kids who need one, but adults can use it, too. The special mix of salts and sugars is a closer match to what the body needs. You can buy it over the counter at a drugstore.
