Lookout Powerade! Milk may be replacing you.  Studies have shown that milk is not just a good source of protein, it also serves as a great sports drink.  Researchers have found that those who drank milk remained 4 times more hydrated than those who drank other liquids.  One reason is because milk contains higher levels of potassium and sodium compared to other liquids (including isotonic drinks).  Promoting fluid retention is one of the main functions of these electrolytes.

So what now? Got Milk?
