We exercise for our health, so when we get a dull, pounding headache post-workout instead of an endorphin high, it feels like a betrayal. Headaches can be caused by a variety of things; a common culprit, especially for the occasional headache after a workout, is dehydration.
Think about it: most of us are already walking around dehydrated before factoring in a workout. When we sweat, our bodies lose fluids, and if we lose more fluid than we take in, we become dehydrated. Being dehydrated also makes it more difficult for blood to get to our organs and muscles—which is important all the time, but especially when doing strenuous activities. This is all to say, it’s extra important to hydrate before, during, and after a workout.
OFC, regular water will get the job done, but we like to drink Liquid I.V. x Poosh Hydration Multiplier in honey, ginger, turmeric flavor (a Poosh exclusive).
Honey Ginger Turmeric Hydration Multiplier 10-Pack
Price: $25
Liquid I.V. x Poosh
For starters, it just tastes better than plain water. It also helps us rehydrate quicker than plain water, because it uses a precise ratio of sodium, glucose, and potassium to enhance the absorption of water and other key ingredients into the bloodstream. It comes in packets that are so perfect for on-the-go. And just one packet has three times the electrolytes of sports drinks, plus vitamins C, B3, B5, B6, and B12. We’ll cheers to that.
