sports drinks

How we hydrate our bodies plays a big role in our health. Water helps our cells function optimally and our filtration systems work efficiently. Dr. Kara joins me to help us understand how this simple daily task, if done right, can help prevent a large number of chronic diseases.

• How much water do we need?
• Does water content of food count towards hydration?
• What are electrolytes and when do we need them?
• Do all liquid drinks help with healthy hydration? (hint: some drinks actually work to dehydrate our body)

Dr. Kara answers all these questions and more.

Hydration powders and products are flooding the wellness space these days — promising to maximize water uptake and prevent dehydration. The concept is nothing new, of course. Sports drinks have existed for decades. But is staying hydrated really more complicated than just drinking plain old water? In today’s episode, we discuss everything from hydration basics to when water may not be enough.

Hosts: Zach Moore, Katie McCallum (interviewer) 

Expert: Emma Willingham, MS, RD, LD, CSSD, Clinical Dietitian Specialist

Notable topics covered: 

• Emma's take on the “8 glasses of water a day” rule 
• The many ways dehydration affects your body 
• Whether coffee, alcohol and salty foods are dehydrating 
• When hydration products are (and aren’t) needed 
• All about electrolytes, including how we all sweat them out differently 
• The times and situations to choose a sports drink over regular water 
• If the pH of water matters for your hydration status 
• Whether you can drink "too much water"

Should athletes drink sports drinks?
Why are sports drinks consumed by athletes?

In this episode, I deep dive into one of the longest surviving sports nutrition products on the market - sports drinks. 

For the purpose of this episode, sports drinks are Gatorade, Powerade, Staminade, and similar products.

Sports Drinks have a large market and are consumed by athletes of all levels in all sports. It’s not uncommon to even see the general gym goer sipping on a bottle of colourful sports drink deliciousness. 

Sports drinks are designed to help athletes perform at their peak level and they have been heavily studied over the decades so today I am going to tell you the truth around sports drinks and if they are ACTUALLY worth it (and who and how they should be consumed). 

I will answer the question: Should YOU yourself be taking sports drinks as part of your sports nutrition strategy?

In today’s podcast, I will cover:

• What are sports drinks? 
• Sports Drink uses explained
• Exploring the science: are sports drinks supported by evidence?
• Concerns (Are there any negative effects?)
• The verdict: Should you be consuming sports drinks or saving your money?

Listen to the full episode to learn more about real nutrition and the experiences of a Sports Dietitian.

Hope you enjoy!

A whole podcast about hydration? That's not a very sexy topic, you might be thinking.

What if I told you that proper hydration could boost your endurance by 50%?

Imagine going twice as long and feeling strong without grueling workouts.

Yes, it really gets to be that simple.

But the funny thing is, pretty much every hiker I know is walking around semi-dehydrated. And that is not the fate I want for you!

So this week on the podcast, we're talking about how to hydrate before, during, and after a hike.

I'll also share the skinny on electrolytes and sports drinks.

And you'll get my best tips on hydration system gear.

When you put these simple tips into practice, you won't believe how good you feel out there.

Ready? Let's do this!

Gatorade, Vitamin Water, Body Armor, FitAid, Nuun tablets...these are just a few of the many sports drinks that have been a staple for refueling the body after physical activity. While the ingredients vary substantially among each drink, there are a few common components you'll find, a few being:

• Electrolytes
• Amino Acids (BCAAs or EAAs)
• B Vitamins

What purpose do these compounds serve in human nutrition? And are they necessary? Furthermore, are they worth the other ingredients that are also commonly found in sports drinks like sugar, synthetic dyes, and flavorings?

Andy and Aaron break down key ingredients found in popular sports drinks, how they impact the recovery process, and what to look for before consuming.

Today, on the season premiere of Let's Get Real!!!

Ok, so a couple of changes are afoot here in the Foodiness Fallout Shelter. Well, no, actually the shelter is the same, I barely touched the place over the summer. It looks really great, and the biomass fuel HVAC system I built last winter is working great, too. Biomass is awesome, you guys know about biomass right? It’s using stuff like agricultural waste products to create energy? Like threshed wheat stalks and orange peels and broccoli stems because people are too stupid to eat them and shit like that?

Well, my biomass is even better than that, because my biomass is the ultimate #FOODINESS FUCK YOU to the food industry. While I was on summer break, between swimming and hiking and growing too many green beans, I was also doing a little sleuthing and investigative research and I discovered that there is a gigantic, massive, huge, underground storage facility in Staten island, under the Fresh Kills landfill (which, if you don’t know, was the largest garbage dump in the country for nearly a century, so large that it created a mountain on Staten Island which is now covered in grass and is soon becoming a park, albeit a park built over a massive, festering toxic dump of NYC’s old diapers, chicken bones, phone books, mafia hits and dirty mattresses from the last 75 years, but it’s Staten Island so…do we care?)

And in that storage facility, there lurks, slowly staling and decomposing, the largest containment of out-of-fashion, off-trend, expired, nutritionally debunked, and forgotten FOODINESS products! Yeah, I know, SO EXCITING. It’s like finding Tutankhamens tomb, but filled with Carnation Instant Breakfast, Pepsi Clear, tons and tons of margarine products including Squeeze Parkay, billions of variations on the granola bar, trillions of liters of expired baby formula (which as you know, I call the original Foodiness gateway drug) and, what may be the best, worst and forever immortalized here product…the….the...the...

What? You think I’ll give it away before the show? You’ll have to listen, peeps, to find out. And guess what? You can, because we’re all new and LIVE today, at 2:00 on www.heritageradionetwork.org! Note the new time, please.
