Good hydration drink alongside water?

[53' Stude]

Hello folks and wat wondering about this. #18FAN talked about it in some threads but didn’t say where you can buy what he used. I was always told water is best; but I’m working in the heat during summers so is anything better than water? Something I can get at Wal Mart or easy to obtain.

Thank You

Milk is actually a better hydrater than water. https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/milk-hydration-better-than-water-study-drinks-scotland/

With that said, when it's 100* out, I don't exactly want to be chugging a glass of milk. To that end, I use the sugar free Drip Drop hydration packets. Excellent flavor and not anywhere nearly as salty as Liquid IV, blech.

Anything wet that I buy is cut with water, especially if it is sweet. I drink a pint of Gatorade daily added to a pint of water in this heat

I buy Liquid I.V. through Costco or Sams Club. It is added to water.

I like Gatorade and Powerade alongside water.

I’m trying to find something low sodium and low sugar also

I drink A LOT of Gatorade G Zero in this hot weather, as I keep a cooler bag in my trunk with freezer packs in it and then I fill up the cooler with G Zero. I will be bringing these with me for my day tomorrow:

Zero sugar though

I like Gatorade and Powerade alongside water.

That is also what I like to do.

So many of them have high Fructose Corn Syrup in them. That is the first thing I check before I buy.

Gatorade is the first thing that comes to mind

Water with a little

Potassium citrate
Magnesium citrate
Sodium chloride (usually an unrefined pink salt)

Citrate salts are good for your kidneys in the same way lemon water is

Sounds interesting! What products are you using ? What mix ratio?

Coconut water, but be sure to research the brand and ingredients prior to purchase.

I buy from Amazon and I will not publicly post mix ratios. Read the bottles/consult a medical professional. I do mix mine depending on weather and activity levels.

I use a yoghurt drink, with strawberry flavour

I love those but yes some are sugar bombs.

Nuuns tablets. Good hydration drink. Minimal sugar. One downside: they are not cheap.

I use sports drinks for the electrolytes. . Mostly Poweraid Zero. If you can stomach it , many athletes drink pickle juice....

 

[Snagglefoot]

There is also the issue of flavour aside from electrolyte. Some people just need flavour to keep them motivated to drink fluids in higher volume. There are sugar free flavourizers but then people will chime in about artificial sweeteners.
