If you are like me you need to rehydrate but do not like plain water. I am always looking for yummy ways to add flavor and nutrition into my water. There are a ton of scary ingredients in water products out there. Believe me I am a label reader. I love this line and the Peach Mango is my favorite. Weather I am running, or taking a group X class, this is the healthiest way to rehydrate I have found and it is only a around 2.50 a bottle with shipping.

Why Are Salt & Glucose Needed for Rehydration?
Sports
drinks and other oral rehydration solutions, intended to replace water
and minerals your body loses during illness or exercise, often contain
sodium (salt) and glucose (sugar). The two work together to restore
your body's fluid balance.
A Healthy Balance-
Normally, your intestine continuously exchanges water. Every 24 hours,
up to 20 liters of water is secreted through the intestinal wall and
almost as much is reabsorbed. This allows your bloodstream to absorb
nutrients from digested food.
Dehydration-
Exercise, heat, diarrhea, vomiting, shock and other conditions can
cause dehydration, an excessive loss of water and electrolytes
(minerals such as sodium and potassium). When you're dehydrated, your
intestine secretes more water than it absorbs. Your body also loses
sodium, which is carried in blood and other body fluids.
Salt-
The American
College of Sports Medicine suggests drinking plain water if exercising
for less than an hour. Adding salt to water can help replace the sodium
your body loses during vigorous or longer exercise, or when you are
ill.
Glucose-
Glucose helps transport sodium through the intestinal wall. This is
especially important if you have diarrhea, which hinders the process by
which the intestine absorbs sodium. Glucose also can help replace some
of the carbohydrates you burn during exercise. And it makes drinks
taste better, which may encourage you to drink enough fluid.
Potassium-
In cases of more severe dehydration, your body can lose potassium. That
is why rehydration solutions and some sports drinks contain potassium
as well as salt and glucose.

Three X's and you're in...
the
skinny club. Skinny Water® has great taste without the sugar and
a combo of EGCG, a green tea extract, Calcium and Potassium,
to keep your metabolism going. And these three X's won't ever strike out, with
the antioxidants to keep you looking and
feeling like an A-list movie star. Eat healthy and exercise regularly, it's
good for you. My favorite flavor is Peach Mango Mandarin (XXX-Detox) includes Hesperidine - a citrus
bioflavinoid with anti-oxidant properties; EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) - an antioxidant
found in green tea and because of its ability to enhance the body's use of calories to
generate heat and energy, a process called thermo genesis, EGCG has also been linked
to improvements in weight maintenance; Calcium - builds strong skeletal system; and
Potassium - helps maintain cellular hydration.
