Meredith: I'm sick.
Me: Have you taken anything? Medicine? Tea?
Meredith: Tylenol Cold & Sinus
Me: Maybe you should have some tea.
Meredith: I don't need need tea, I have gatorade.
Me: Yes but gatorade rocks for hangovers, and sports... You need tea and rest. How about green tea? That's got all kinds of good stuff in there like... vitamins and green things...
Meredith: I don't need it. I have gatorade.
Me: Gatorade is a sugary sports drink. Like Kool-Aid for athletes, that's it!
Meredith: AND ELECTROLYTES!!!
(I always thought Gatorade fought dehydration, hence why it was an awesome hangover necessity.)
Turns out, Meredith was right too.
"Gatorade Thirst Quencher contains a blend of lab-tested electrolytes – sodium, potassium and chloride – to replenish the minerals athletes lose through sweat during exercise and competition. (1, 2, 3) Electrolytes help regulate a number of body functions, and athletes with a substantial electrolyte deficit may experience muscle cramping, heat stress and fatigue. In addition to replacing what is lost through sweat, the electrolytes in Gatorade trigger activation of the body’s thirst mechanism, encouraging athletes to fully hydrate themselves."
