Sports Drinks

Many of us buy those marketed sports drinks on the market these days. There are many kinds, flavors & brands to choose from but do we really need them. The Diet Detective (on my Fav Websites list) has a great article on the make up of these sports drinks & when you really do or do not need them. Also, for those that like to drink them regularly, many have substantial amounts of calories & sugars so do DO READ THE LABELS!!!!! For those that like a flavor versus plain water, fill half your water bottle with the sports drink and the rest with water to make it a better choice, fewer unneeded calories but still with some flavor. Check out the article at the link below to find out more & even how to make a homemade one!
