SSRIs got me drinking Gatorade and Powerade all day. I don’t like low sugar stuff, like Gatorlyte or Prime.

    Water. Water with some rock salt. Coconut water. Water with some squeezed lemon.

    Plenty options to hydrate all day.

    A thermal flask improves your life 1000x, so buy a decent $10-20 one and keep drinking cool water in summers and warm in winters.

      Cost adds up but their far cheaper than coconut water. Good balance of vitamins and electrolytes. The sugars are high though. Otherwise their solid choices. The lytes are the real choice then if you must add sugar as desired.

        Totally agree. I think she craves them because breastfeeding puts her at such a calorie deficit.

          Thyroid condition? How could she be so low on uptake of calories if she is truly getting enough. Some other autoimmune disease or organ issue? There’s lots of factors could play into uptake and processing of foods. Allergies to foods…

    Straight chilled water.

    If I need extra hydration aka eletrolytes, I either put pure electrolytes in it or a flavored powder like Liquid IV.

    It’s a bit psychopathic but if you know you need electrolytes, can’t really beat a little salt in some water. Like just a pinch.

    Best part is it’s nearly free!

      Takes a balance of multiple electrolytes potassium, magnesium, calcium, salt, and others. Salt only makes the arteries less able to expand and contract and makes the body hold in water sometimes in unwanted areas. Feet, legs, arms, heart, etc. This is why alot seniors are on water pills.

    I honestly don’t think there’s anything as refreshing as a glass of water at 10°C. Sure, sodas or electrolyte drinks like Gatorade are nice, but it really doesn’t hit the same.
