More like a super-hydrator than a smoothie, this slightly sweet, slightly sour, slightly spicy mix of cucumber, celery, jalapeño, and stevia
puts plain old water to shame.
Well, simply
put, for short exercise duration this is indeed often the best option -
plain old water is absolutely adequate to hydrate during a typical weight lifting session, short set of sprints, or short distance run in moderate temperatures.During longer duration activity, however, it becomes important to take in compounds OTHER than
water that are lost, which includes the aforementioned sodium, as well as carbohydrates to fuel continued activity.
