Do I HAVE to drink water? Or can I drink something else like Gatorade zero, body armor, etc?

Question

What are some alternative hydrating options to water, and how do they compare to the benefits of drinking water?

Answer

I was drinking a bunch of Gatorade and ended up really dehydrated.  Doctor said only 1/day!

Answer

Whatever you decided to drink should be mixed with water. So do half water half lemonade or whatever you choose, that’s the only way I can keep my toddler hydrated lol. I personally love to eat watermelon when I’m feeling dehydrated and it seems to do the trick for me.

Answer

Flavor water with powder or liquid flavoring try to find something thats low in sugar and sodium. You can have a sports drink but my doc rec only one a day like a small gatoradezero, body armor and propell are good options but not to drink only that too many electrolytes is just as bad these drinks also have a lot of sugar and sodium can cause kidney stones and other issues. Coconut water or sparkling water with juice is good for hydration but water should be the main source. I try to drink 8oz every 45min or so it doesnt feel as daunting and stay pretty well hydrated and if ive been out in the heat ill drink one small sports drink or snack on things with electrolytes so i dont get cramps. Hope this helps!
