water

It’s a common trait among women – we retain water. This is especially true when we’re going through PMS, when we’re pregnant or as we go through menopause. We tend to hold on to water because various hormone levels change during these times. Sometimes we can really see the swelling in our face, ankles, lower legs and tummy area. Retaining excess water can leave us feeling lethargic and bloated and takes us that much farther away from our weight-loss goals.

We all know that after a great exercise session our bodies need to replace the fluids lost, but do sport drinks work better than good old fashioned water for getting us rehydrated? Here are the pros and cons to help you determine the best choice for your regime.
