Drinking water is not the most efficient method of rehydrating the body according to a recent British study carried out by Loughborough University. After testing 72 men, drinking 13 different types of beverage, the study concluded that oral rehydration solution, milk (fat free and whole) and orange juice were better at rehydrating the body than water.

Key Takeaways:

• Some fluids have been found to hydrate your body better than water.
• Fluids that scored better in hydration tests than water include oral rehydration solution, fat-free milk, whole milk and orange juice.
• Drinks containing caffeine, alcohol and sugar have hydration indices no different from water.

“Do the maths. If you drink a cup of water and then immediately pee half of it you haven’t added eight ounces to your body water, only four.”
