Best hydration method?

[lightemup]

Hows it goin guys. Just thought id bring this up but has anyone tried Pedialyte for hydration? Had a crazy workout in some crazy heat yesterday and i snagged a liter bottle from CVS. Only downer is that its 4 bucks a liter... Chugged about the whole bottle and man was i zoomin all day.

I was also going to ask if there are some bulk nutrients i can buy to possibly make my own hydrating solution? Thanks guys

What's wrong with gatorade? Too much sugar?

Water

I just feel like a stayed hydrated for a longer period of time when i drank to pedialyte as compared to just water or gatorade. Although i am drinking water aswell just added in the pedialyte

[mmacrazy]

The body can only hydrate ate the rate of about 1 liter per hour.
Pedialyte is awesome stuff but I do about 8 oz of pedialyte followed by 32 ounces of water every 1 and a half until I get to a gallon of water/pedialyte mix after I do a weight cut.
Usually though gatorade works very well, but I like the pedialyte more also due to less sugar.

I see... So its awesome to REhydrate, but what about preventing dehydration during intense physical activity? Just water?

There are other coconut waters too, but most of the rest add sugar. Naked is right out of the coconut. My local natural food store sells em for $1.50 each, its perfect after some cardio or just a hard bit of working outside (I'm in Florida)

I'm gonna go ahead and say water, too. Drink it throughout the day, not all at once, and you shouldn't have problems!

Not even close! the body can absorb a liter every 10-20 minutes, when needed. I was in the desert in the military, for months, in 120+ degree heat. We had mandatory water call, and we had to assemble, and drink a liter each, every 15 minutes by the timer, supervised. It was that big an issue. And I'd only piss 2-3 times a day. My shirt was white down the front and back from salt.

When exercising, you should be pounding down water on an even more disciplined schedule. Since the human body can only absorb so much water at one time, the rate of ingestion should be matched, as closely as possible, to the rate of absorption. Most of us have been classified for years into a rate-of-absorption range of one-quarter liter per one-quarter hour. Recent research indicated some of us can do better, absorbing as much as one-quarter liter in 10 minutes. That means, for maximum efficiency and well-being, drink about one-quarter liter of water every 10 to 15 minutes during periods of intense exercise. And cool water gets absorbed faster than warm water. In some conditions you will lose water faster than you can replace it. In those conditions, rest breaks, during which fluid is consumed, become important.

i also say keep your water in during the day, but i've also used pedialyte after a couple of shows when i competed.

love coconut water.

[RenegadeRows]

Coconut water eh, does it have a taste to it?
Does it have a laxative effect in high doses?

That'd be good to drink occasionally I think, but nothing beats poland spring!

i drink powerade zero,

but if your looking to be in keto you have to be careful with artificial sweeteners because they can pull you out of keto.
