Sports Drinks
Hey guys! I haven't posted on here in ages, but planning on getting back in the groove. Anywho, just a quick question for now. I absolutely love powerade zero and find it so much easier to drink than water. But I know sports drinks have a lot of sodium so I was wondering if they're bad for me considering I have problems already with water retention? Once I get back eating right, I do pretty good not retaining water, but I just wondered if sports drinks would hinder that. I would like to be able to replace water with these (at least some of it - I still drink plain water), but I didn't know how bad the sodium content was for a person who's not using them to replace nutrients lost while working out. I hope that makes sense and someone has an answer for me. So to recap, I'm not exercising/sweating/needing to replenish my electrolytes, I'm just thirsty and want to know if calorie-free sports drinks are okay to drink instead of water. Thanks guys!
