Are you someone who struggles with consuming enough fluids each day? Do you know how much fluid you need to stay hydrated and the benefits that are associated with it? Also, have you ever wondered what electrolytes are important, what their functions are, and when you should consume them in a beverage? Gatorade has spent over 50 years studying hydration, sweat rates, and electrolytes in active individuals and athletes and in this podcast, I speak with Dr. Lindsay Baker, from the Gatorade Sports Science institute to learn more about our hydration and electrolyte needs. In this podcast, we’ll discuss the key electrolytes that are important for hydration and their function, how important hydration is for the body, and the signs and symptoms of dehydration.
