That’s right, water. It’s usually plentiful at the gym or in the home, making it the first source of rehydration as soon
as you’ve finished your workout. Weigh yourself before and after workouts. For every pound of water weight lost in
a workout, replace it with 16-20 ounces of water. While water has no calories, it also has no proteins or
carbohydrates. For that reason, when you opt for water as your workout recovery drink, accompany it with a snack
that replenishes lost proteins and carbohydrates.
We’re talking about coconut water, not coconut milk. An 11-ounce glass of coconut water contains 14
grams of sugar and 670 milligrams of potassium, which far surpasses what sports drinks deliver.
Potassium works with sodium to maintain water balance and trigger muscles to optimally contract
and relax.
