PowerAde & Gatorade the truth behind the electrolytes....Which I do love to drink as well by the way, but as you know anything in excess is not good for you. For example think about filling up your car when it's already on Full, it's no point right, so you fill it up when it's half full or almost empty. That's how you refuel your body after a long workout or run due to losing a lot of sweat and electrolytes such as sodium and potassium. But never overdo it on such hydration drinks as though it is water on a day to day basis. Most people will drink such products because of the flavor or desired taste. But with anything in excess it can send you into fluid overload, or imbalance. Too much sodium or potassium is not good for you because it can send you into renal failure or cause dehydration. So when you Power up do so in moderation and when necessary, after a hard workout, or when sweat is lost. Water in my opinion is your best option in any case, before, during and after any vigorous workouts. Esp. during the summer when the heat index is higher. Always think healthy and always think smart, never overdo any fitness, replenishing, or protein drinks. Read the labels, ask questions, listen to your body, trust it when it send you warning signals, consult your primary physician, and most importantly Love your Body!
