How necessary are electrolyte-infused waters and sports drinks after an intense workout -- or a night of partying? A doctor's take:
As if plain water weren’t good enough for our bodies, now many of us are attempting to take water to the next level by adding electrolytes. But do you really need those extra electrolytes? Let’s dig into that.
Let’s take exercise, one of my favorite topics. Electrolyte-enhanced waters are often targeted at fitness fanatics . Truth is, the overwhelming majority of people only need plain ol’ water. Even if you’re drenched after your 30-minute workout, water is your drink of choice. With a good sweat, your body loses mostly water. You may taste salty, but that’s because the water has evaporated, leaving behind a layer of salt on your skin.
If you’re a heavy sweater during exercise AND have particularly salty sweat, electrolytes are for you. How do you know? Salty sweaters may notice salt stains on your clothes.
