The Overview of Sports Drinks




Some people like to say that sports drinks
aren't good for you. In a way no they aren't because
of the amount of sugar they have, it's kinda like drinking pop.

However if you workout, play sports or maybe you
had a little bit too much fun on the weekend,
they are very good for you to hydrate your body and get in the electrolytes you need to replenish your body.

Electrolytes are minerals that maintain your body's
ionic balance. This balance is good for your
nerve, muscle and brain functioning.

Electrolytes include:
Calcium, magnesium, chloride, phosphate,
potassium and sodium.

I stay away from Gatorade and Powerade
to me just too much sugar. I prefer Vitamin Water
and Body Armor, both of those seem to have
more potassium in it which is great for your
body when trying to rehydrate yourself.

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

  The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What  you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.
