Sport Drinks

Keep a bottle or two of a sports drink like Gatorade or Powerade on your shelves for times when you're exceptionally active. These thirst-quenchers are designed to recharge important nutrients and minerals you lose when you sweat a lot. The right food and plenty of water are best for ordinary exercise, but sometimes a more intense workout means you can use the extra sodium, potassium, and sugars in a sports drink.
