Hello

My concern is that water is not the best drink to have
after an ashtanga practice. Ive been told that the
body loses a lot of nutrients whilst parcticing,
through sweating mainly, and there are more efficient
drinks to rehydrate the body and refuel.

Im not sure which ones though. There are a lot of
energy drinks on the market. In the UK there are
things like Lucozade and then there are those drinks
which are for athletes, sportspeople and
weightlifters. Some are protein drinks and others are
more energy drinks consisting of mainly dextrose I
think.

There are others that I dont know about, but which
ones are o.k and consistent with ashtanga yoga? Are
any of them, or should one be drinking more natural
things like fruit and vegetable juices to do the job
along with water?

Any thoughts on the matter would be greatly
appreciated.

Thank you

Punnit

** The coconut milk suggestion was a very good one (& yummy!).
Otherwise, any fruit juice mixed half & half with water makes a fresh
& adequate 'sports drink'.
