How often do you drink electrolyte beverages and why?

Never, its a waste of money. healthy diet with water should give you all you need. Some people just get off and training like professional athletes when honestly when they really don't need to. If your pushing yourself so hard that diet and water can't do it for you, then you are probably working way too hard for what its worth.

But everyone want to run marathons theses days, or be a cross fit beast.

used to when cycling... out in heat for 4-8hrs, seemed a good idea.
generally not needed marketing baloney.

Recently, a lot. I recently had COVID and was forcing them down to stay hydrated. Other than when not feeling great, not that often.

I hope you’re well now💙

@Blackcupcake

Thanks! Yep, all good. I think I had whatever variant that is that tends to be mild. I had only one day of misery really. Then it was just a cough. I guess I can consider myself lucky it was not worse.

[Blackcupcake]

I’m glad to hear you didn’t suffer too much🥰
Get lots of rest tho so you can recover faster❤️

I have P. O. T. S. so I drink them. several timesxa day and ghey have extra added salt.

[sheikalana]

What is P. O. T. S?

[MORPHEUS_12]

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. Its where your blood pressure and heart rate skyrocket upon the standing. It causes fainting. I am on a high salt diet. It is a comorbidity of a genetic connective tissue disease called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. While I do not have the fatal type it is a lifelong pain in the butt to manage to which there is no cure.

Not very often now. But I will get back to it once I start working out more frequently again. It really helped with needed quick energy.

I try to drink them a few times a week cause it helps with breastfeeding

[Blackcupcake]

I’ve had it a lot in the last month cause I got sick but now I’m kinda tired of it so I drink water and other stuff

[collie22]

i usually squirt some in my morning shake if i make one, probably one or two times a week

[moonpie89]

Sometimes. They're full of sugar so I try to avoid it

[exitseven]

I drink one just about every day after my workout. i like the way it tastes and it replaces all the minerals I sweat out during a workout.

[awkward_author]

I don't drink them too often because it's just not the kind of stuff I can find when purchasing things.

[EaterPeter]

Rarely, specially when I feel need to hydrate faster sooner

[Wise4myage]

Hardly ever, I prefer cold water.

[Slartybartfast]

It's what plants crave!

[In_Trance]
