What is the Best Drink to Have After An Intense Workout?

By Alyssa Holder · On March 31, 2017


You’re sore muscles just got a new friend, the summer fruit favorite; watermelon.

Working out can often lead to dehydration and electrolyte depletion which are the leading factors  to sore and tired muscles. This is why doctors encourage us to stay hydrated before, during and after exercise. 

According to a study in the Journal of Agricultural Food and Chemistry, drinking watermelon juice ( especially when the juice is unpasteurized)  before an intense workout like Drenched or Strong By Zumba,  can aid to very sore muscles.  Did you know watermelon is rich in an amino acid called L-citrulline, which the body converts to L-arginine, an essential amino acid that helps relax blood vessels and improve circulation, helping with cramping too.

But its not summer, which means the summer fruit favorite is not in season and readily available for us to get our hands on after an #LRStrong workout. Of course, we found a solution, courtesy of the company WTRMLN WTR, we can all relieve our tired, cramping muscles with watermelon water, available all year round.

Swap the Gatorade and Powerade and enjoy naturally pressed  WTRMLN WTR  which has 6 times the electrolytes as a standard sports drink, no added sugars, no chemicals, its 100 percent natural. The hydration with WTRMLN WTR is unique because not only does it have the right balance of electrolytes, but the powerful antioxidants such as lycopene and mitochondrial or energy boosting amino acids including citrulline.

P.S Beyonce is a noted fan of the drink too, if its Bey approved then its a definite yes in our health book! What is even better, WTRMLN WTR comes in a variety of flavors which are all natural! Check out the delicious flavors below:

  • WTRMLN WTR :  made with fresh watermelon and an added dose of functional health benefits.
  • WTRMLN GNGR contains watermelon (flesh + rind), organic lemon juice, organic ginger juice, and organic ginger extract. Ingredients paired together to boost and detoxify the body.

  • WTRMLN LME contains watermelon (flesh + rind), organic lime juice, organic lemon juice, and organic lime extract.

 

  • WTRMLN TRT CHRRY contains organic tart cherry juice concentrate and organic lemon juice.  This flavor is perfect for helping muscles to relax.

Here are couple more reason to drink  WTRMLN WTR. 

  1. It has less sugar as coconut water and 40% less than orange juice and has way more electrolytes than any sports drink.

  2. It promotes heart health.

  3. It’s rich in vitamins and minerals and is low in calories.

Now that you found a declicous and healthy way to relieve those muscles, go a step further and loosen those muscles with this foam rolling guide.
