When you lose sweat... drink sweat. 🧂🍌
This is a fairly gnarly quote about post exercise hydration. Sweat is comprised of mostly water, but there are all sorts of trace minerals that we lose as we sweat them out. That means, simply drinking water to recover might not be enough. Reducing soreness and improving recovery can be simple. There are two main nutrients we should be looking for post exercise, and we should all know the first one.... - SALT! - Again kinda gnarly, but if you add a 1/4 teaspoon to 16oz of water you'll be improving hydration like crazy and reducing tomorrow's soreness - Potassium - Like most gym bros before me I'd be remiss if I didn't recommend a post lift banana. A more glucose friendly option, that also higher levels of potassium, are humble potatoes! 1 Banana (or a few left over potatoes from dinner) will aid in recovery and energy.
