Hydration

I was kinda in the same “it works so why change it” mindset for a long time. Then last summer my calves started doing this weird twitchy thing like 2–3hrs into a ride. Thought it was a salt thing but nope… ended up being mag. I went through a bunch of mixes people keep mentioning here. LMNT was just

There are endless hydration products available but two of my favorites are Nuun tablets and good old Gatorade powder. I use the Gatorade powder for really hot/long rides in the summer where I struggle to eat. Nuun is just electrolytes - no calories, so I use that the rest of the year when I can get

Hi, I know I'm responding a little late to this post, but it's somehow still hot in UK and my experience might be helpful to others. So I have also been struggling with this conundrum of whether to take ADHD meds (40mg of Elvanse). During the heatwave and any days over 28 degrees C, I have refrained

I am terrible at drinking enough water.

Try distraction as best you can. Go run an errand, go for a walk, laugh with a friend (even though you don't feel like laughing), watch a good movie, focus on anything but the rhythm. I know it's easier said than done. Try relaxing all your muscles starting at your temples, your jaw, your tongue, yo

My obsession throughout my pregnancy so far has been Nuun hydration tabs, they make one that’s Raspberry lemonade flavored and 0 sugar that I’m currently fixated on. I also have a thing for SpinDrifts and any sparkling water that I can get my hands on, although that’s not actually a pregnancy thing

I use Nuun and love them. Liquid IV is WAY too sweet and even diluting doesn't help. And the ones that have the bad, artificial sugar taste there is no way to dilute that out! Nuun has a bunch of different options to choose from like just straight hydration, sport, caffeine, etc. I just go with hydr

Hi, harm reduction is important; I’m glad you’re thinking about it. If you look at the r/InterstitialCystitis diet, it’s similar; low acid and pay attention to triggers because people can be different. Coffee, soda, caffeine, cranberry, orange juice, even carbonation has higher acid, some find they
