Hi, this is Beverly and Dr. Ronnie Weinstein of Ageless Yoga Oak Island with our weekly wellness article.  The article talks about how water may be the better choice for kids and teens over sports drinks for re-hydration.

Do your kids and teens like sports drinks—those brilliantly-colored beverages that promise re-hydration, calorie replenishment, and electrolyte replacement? If they do, be aware: The Washington Post reports that while these drinks may offer some benefits for elite athletes, who train vigorously and sweat profusely, the younger set doesn’t need them. If they do lose electrolytes from sweating, less common in the types of athletics done by kids and teens, it’s typically a loss of sodium, which is already plentiful in the American diet. For this reason, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that sports drinks for kids and adolescents be avoided, or at a minimum restricted, and that water should be the drink of choice. Sports drinks may even be bad for children due to the sugar and chemical content that rivals amounts found in soda.
