Could Help Sustain Hydration
For most, drinking water during a workout is often enough to keep hydrated, especially if the exercise duration is relatively short and not too intense. Longer, more strenuous workouts might need something more than water. Pickle juice may be the answer.
Sodium and potassium are two electrolytes that are lost during exercise through sweat. Pickle juice contains high levels of sodium as well as some potassium. Taking small amounts of the juice may help the body regain its normal levels of electrolytes faster.4Author American Council on Exercise Contributor Read More Less. ‘Drink Pickle Juice to Avoid a Hydration Pickle.’ ACE, www.acefitness.org/education-and-resources/lifestyle/blog/2107/drink-pickle-juice-to-avoid-a-hydration-pickle/
