This top secret drink won't be found in any sports drink section or the food section of the grocery store. To find this classified drink you will need to go to the baby/infant section. The drink is called Pedialyte. Many top athletes drink this for its unmatched electrolytes and re-hydration abilities. Pedialyte was created to prevent sick children from getting dehydrated. The reason Pedialyte is better than regular sports drinks is because it not only has a higher concentration of electrolytes, it is a natural appetite suppressant. Wherein sports drinks can quench your thirst but not your hunger. Now you may say; "Why have I never seen athletes drink Pedialyte?" The answer is, usually they peel the label off or pour it into a regular water bottle. So, for any sport or activity that you will be sweating and exerting yourself, Pedialyte is absolutely the best way to re-hydrate and replenish your electrolytes. Electrolytes are very important because they are what cells (especially nerve, heart, muscle) use to maintain voltages across their cell membranes and to carry electrical impulses (nerve impulses, muscle contractions) across themselves and to other cells. Kidneys work to keep the electrolyte concentrations in blood constant despite changes in your body. For example, during heavy exercise, electrolytes are lost in sweat, particularly sodium and potassium. These electrolytes must be replaced to keep the electrolyte concentrations of the body fluids constant. They help to regulate myocardial and neurological function, fluid balance, oxygen delivery, acid-base balance and much more. So, in layman's terms, without electrolytes your brain and heart cannot function, which can lead to death. There are no side effects to drinking Pedialyte. The only slight negative is the flavor is not the best and it will run you around $5.99 a bottle. Another use for Pedialyte is that it's great to help relieve hangovers from a night out on the town. So the next time you go out and have your margarita or martini, drink some Pedialyte and you can avoid the dreaded morning after headache or the walk of shame.
