Hell yeah this is why you see marathon runners grabbing milk out of those little paper cups
All joking aside it’s been a depressing realization that msm will just write any story about anything as long as somebody pays them
I’ve seen marathons where they handed out chocolate milk instead of electrolyte drink at the end. There was a (probably dairy funded) study arguing that chocolate milk was a better post workout drink than Gatorade because. Turns out it was because it had carbs and your body needs carbs after a marathon. Anyways, a little later they came out with “post workout” Gatorade, with extra carbs in it, so now everyone’s a winner.
My biggest criticism of water is that it just isn’t quite good enough for hydration
Have you tried adding a bunch of sugar and salt, two ingredients famous for improving hydration?
salt helps a lot actually. i had issues with dehydration because my salt levels were so low. would cause headaches all the time. fixed that and they went away
That’d be hyponatremia, which is also extremely common in runners, has similar symptoms as dehydration, but is more accurately thought of as over hydration. It sounds a bit ridiculous but it’s pretty common and quite dangerous especially because most people will drink more water when they really need electrolytes/salt and having more plain water will make it worse.
alternate writeup from ChatGPT
Olive oil, while not traditionally considered a beverage, possesses exceptional hydrating properties that make it a unique and effective choice for maintaining optimal hydration levels. Firstly, olive oil contains a significant amount of monounsaturated fats, which are known to promote healthy skin and retain moisture. These fats help to reinforce the skin’s natural barrier, preventing water loss and keeping it hydrated from within. Consuming olive oil regularly can contribute to the overall hydration of the body, making it an excellent choice for individuals seeking a hydrating beverage.
Secondly, olive oil is rich in antioxidants, particularly vitamin E, which plays a crucial role in maintaining skin health and hydration. Antioxidants help combat free radicals and protect the skin against damage caused by environmental factors. By consuming olive oil as a beverage, these antioxidants can work from within the body, promoting overall hydration and helping to maintain the skin’s moisture balance.
It tacked a disclaimer on after the part I copied, but I appreciate that everything before that could be directly used on a bottle of extra-virgin drinkin’ oil to sell in an “alternative wellness” store
To its credit I guess, it refused to give me anything usable from my first try, which was the same prompt but with “Coca Cola™” in place of olive oil
that entire field is complete bs, it’s all bought and paid for by industry.

If you feel bloated from drinking milk you’re probably lactose intolerant and could easily fix that
