3 Tips to Avoid Dehydration and Cramping

This past weekend was unusually warm for this time of year in NJ and inevitably we saw a lot of athletes cramping up in the field.

Here is 3 tips to keep in mind:

1-Once the event is going, it is really too late to hydrate. You should be drinking plenty of water the 24-48 hours leading up to the game for optimal hydration.

2-Research has shown a solution of w…ater with a trace amount of honey and sea salt to be comparable to many popular sports drinks without the added sugars and artificial colors and flavors.

3-Once cramping does set in, it can often be relieved almost immediately by drinking a shot of pickle juice or vinegar. I know it sounds gross, but it works!
