ORS

Anecdotal, for sure, but I have ran, crewed and volunteered in some of the hottest, humid conditions on the planet and the idea that we don't need electrolyte supplementation seems a bit absurd to me. I think people overdo it, of course, and people think it's a cure all for insufficient fueling, hea

I’ve spent the last decade researching this and trying to find an answer. The short answer is there is absolutely nothing you can do. Nothing. We refer to drinking alcohol as intoxication for a reason. It’s toxic. You are poisoning yourself. It’s typically just a mild poisoning but the byproducts of

Definitely electrolytes! I've found that when I keep my daughter pumped full of them, she stays much more stable in hear. She's PAI though, so doesn't produce aldosterone. I have heard of some SAI folks really benefitting from them too though. Def worth a try. Drip drop are my favorites for my kiddo

I was diagnosed last year. I have several injuries like spinal and other joints. I just dismissed them as old injuries until the surgeons all said my injuries are 6-7 out of 10 and im describing them as 12 out of 10. I refuse meds and I would get goosebumps because the pain was so loud. Iv found lio

I drink Gatorade zeros. They have zero sugar and zero calories. My doctors say that there is no problem drinking these and I mix Phos-Nak packets and/ or drip drop packets (both on Amazon) to the Gatorade Zero and it helps with my electrolytes and hydration.

Hey, do you take your BP? For me (and I have different chronic illnesses) my problem with falling asleep lik mandatory you going down now! was my BP… if I drank electrolytes boom it went back up to reasonable. The best electrolytes I’ve found is drip drop. Poor it into a bottle of water sitting or l

It’s a completely different population so it may not be very helpful depending on what your needs are, but in my sports nutrition rotation, we were trialing different ORS for the athletes at one point. We used DripDrop, LMNT, and Fluid Tactical ORS and the FT was the one I liked the best. It had a b

Personally I like drip drop. I think it tastes really good, and has 330mg of sodium which isn't the most but is on the higher side for electrolyte drinks. Plus I can drink multiple a day or add an extra stick to my water or add a pinch or two of sea salt to it. It's really the only one with flavors

OP, I don't know how old you are, or how old your father is, but I do love how much you worry about him and his well-being. I'm just like you. If he does not drink enough water buy some "DripDrop" from the local pharmacy. It's a hydrating powder just like Gatorade and stuff, he can mix it in with wh

Keep an eye on overall weight and such. Organize it in such a way to be comfortable. It drives me crazy having my stuff all around while I’m trying to drive long distance. Also makes it safer in case of an accident or roll over. Don’t just pre plan your routes in driving, but in stops as well. I alw
