Although water is good for hydration, other drinks can be more hydrating. Drinks that include sugars, fats and proteins can hydrate people more effectively. Drinks such as Milk, Orange Juice, and Cola seemed to be more hydrating, and the hydrating effect lasted longer. Still water was only ranked 10th out of 13 options, and sparkling water was ranked 11th. Water is still extremely valuable and should not be replaced. People still need to limit the amount of sugars they get from drinks, and water can be a healthier option in many cases. When people sweat, dehydration can set in and that is when we should consider drinks that are higher in electrolytes. It is critical to avoid dehydration because it can have detrimental side-effects for your body.

Key Takeaways:

• What was once thought of regarding hydrating with water may not be the hydration choice that is the best. There are many options to hydrate and many water sources to choose from.
• Some studies have shown that milk may be better at hydrating then water as milk contains sugars, fats and protein which enables it to stay in the body longer.
• One must always be aware of hydration as dehydration can happen quickly and through various area such as sweating. You should also be aware of added sugars which are counter productive when hydrating.
