Guest guest Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 LOL, try Propel. It has very little calories And, it's tastey!DarcyOn 10/13/06, jm.0511 <jm.0511@... > wrote: I had a scratchy throat two days ago, and I took Vitamin C for my immune system. I still had a scratchy throat this morning, and I thought I might be dehydrated, even though I drink water before & during & after a workout. So I drank some oral rehydrating solution (for mild to moderate fluid loss) and it did the trick. What do you think, would it help if I replaced my fluid loss with sports drink instead of water? But sports drink has calories! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Jienmei, I don't know anything about Propel, but I agree that you need to watch those sports drinks. They also contain lots of sugar, which you don't need on a regular basis. I only drink something like that when I'm really doing something out of the ordinary that takes a lot out of me--like the taekwondo test 2 weeks ago. I wouldn't have made it without Gatorade. For a scratchy throat, I also take Vitamin C. How much did you take? I take 10,000 mg a day to fight off cold symptoms. > > > > I had a scratchy throat two days ago, and I took Vitamin C for my > > immune system.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Not too much celebrating as of yet. These were smaller certificates. However, when I complete my " big " one. I will surely be celebrating. I plan to start that maybe in December...

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Carolyn, No, it wasn't a typo. Years ago my chiropractor told me to take a 1,000mg pill every hour for 10 hours each day. That's how I do it. I don't know if I can prove this is the right way to do it, but it seems to help. > > For a scratchy throat, I also take Vitamin C.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Thanks, I needed that reminder about the 200g sugar. I also didn't know you could alternate water & sports drink, or dilute. So if I need to replace, I have to work the calories off or count it onto the day's calories, & measure it out in a glass. I take Vit C 1000mg when I'm coming down with something. My usual daily multivitamin has another 500mg. Thanks, everyone for sharing your advice & experience! _ _ _ _ _ I wasn't able to post much earlier because the wires on the telephone poles were stolen. I use dial-up. The pldt (philippine long distance telephone co.) said it's common, & our neighborhood was the latest target. _ _ _ _ _ Congratulations, Darcy! Keep up, having you as a go-to person for nutrition would be a real plus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
