I have been exercising for most of my adult life.
That includes hours at the gym, biking and walking in all weather, mountain walks in all weather, as well as just general hard labor in the summer.
I’ve never given electrolytes a thought.
When we were doing mountain walks in Andorra our Fearless Leader used to eat ‘salt sandwiches’ for … Continue reading.....
I grew up in Wisconsin.
One drinks beer in Wisconsin. Or at least one did at that time.
Then I went off to college (university). I was still in Wisconsin and everyone was still drinking beer, but as we were becoming adults we were also expanding our alcoholic repertoire.
I remember an older, and therefore wiser, friend gave me this … Continue reading.....
