BODYARMOR sports drink is a Must-Have!

BODYARMOR – a natural sports drink made with coconut water and no flavors, colors or sweeteners, making it a better alternative to other leading sports drinks.

I received samples and was surprised at the great taste! I also like that it is low in sodium and has no artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners. It is available in 7 great-tasting flavors (Fruit Punch, Strawberry Banana, Orange Mango, Mixed Berry, Grape and Tropical Punch, Lemon Lime).  My favorite flavor is Strawberry Banana! This is the perfect drink to take with you to the gym or on hikes! It is also high in vitamins and potassium. It actually has more potassium-packed electrolytes than other sports drinks.

An Interesting Fact:

• Pro athletes who drink BODYARMOR: NFL’s Rob Gronkowski, Richard Sherman, Andrew Luck, MLB’s Mike Trout, Buster Posey, NBA’s James Harden, Kevin Love, WNBA’s Skylar Diggins, and US Women’s Soccer Champion Sydney Leroux.

Available locally at: Ralph’s, Target, Stater Bros and Alberton’s, Vons.

Hydration Tips by Rebecca Scritchfield MA, RD, ACSM HFS. Scritchfield is a mom and sports nutritionist who works with athletes of all ages and abilities, including professional and recreational athletes.

Dehydration is the #1 cause of sports performance problems and injuries in youth athletes.  Even mild dehydration will impact your child’s strength, energy and coordination. Preventing dehydration is easy with these simple tips.

1. Fruits and vegetables are over 90% water. Fill up half of your child’s plate with fruits and vegetables at meal time and include them in snacks to help them stay nourished and hydrated.
2. Keep a filled water bottle or BODYARMOR with your child wherever you go and drink often, both with meals and between meals.
3. If exercising after school, pack pre-exercise nutrition like banana and peanut butter or a cheese sandwich and a bottle of BODYARMOR to fuel up for the training.
4. During activity lasting over 60 minutes, drink water or BODYARMOR every 15 to 20 minutes, if possible, or drink BODYARMOR between exercise bouts.
5. After exercise lasting over 60 minutes, provide fluids as early as possible. BODYARMOR helps replace electrolytes lost and helps refuel muscles with carbohydrates
