Happy Tuesday everyone!
I’m back this week participating in The Skinny on Health‘s Fit Tip Tuesday blogger party, and today there’s also a giveaway involved!
One of my #1 health tips is to make staying hydrated a top priority. We all know that drinking water is important, and here are a few reasons why:
Drinking water…
- Helps with alertness
- Prevents headaches and fatigue
- Keeps dry skin at bay
- Improves performance during exercise or activity
- Helps to control appetite
During exercise, dehydration can cause a slower reaction time, decreased coordination and endurance, higher heart rate, and impaired concentration – no thanks! – so I always make sure to be properly hydrated before I start exercising, and to frequently sip water while I’m working out.
I’ve mentioned it on the blog before, but I’m like a camel when it comes to drinking water. I require a lot of water throughout the day to keep my thirst quenched, and I pretty much always have a glass or bottle of water nearby. Post-workout, the easy way that I make sure to properly rehydrate is to drink an electrolyte drink.
Recently Cocogo sent me some of their real fruit hydration on-the-go packets to try out. Made from real freeze-dried fruit, coconut water, and monk fruit, Cocogo’s sports drinks replenish the body with sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, and are also a good source of Vitamin B12, C, and D3, just to name a few.
Cocogo offers their drinks in convenient little packets and comes in grape (my favorite!), lemon lime and raspberry passion fruit.
My overall impression is that Cocogo’s hydration drinks add a little kick to water while providing a lot of electrolyte benefits. The hydration packs are not overly sweet, but more like a subtle addition of flavor to plain old water.
I’ve been adding a packet to a small cup of water at night, particularly after my evening workouts when I feel like I need something to replenish what my body lost during hard workouts.
The folks at Cocogo were nice enough to offer to send a box of their sports drinks to one lucky reader, so now it’s giveaway time! If you’d like to win some Cocogo, enter the giveaway with any or all of the ways below…
1.) Simply leave a comment below telling me which flavor you’re most interested in trying – grape, lemon lime or raspberry passion fruit.

3.) Follow Foodie Loves Fitness on Twitter.
4.) Tweet about the giveaway with a link (something like, “@foodiemtfitness is giving away @drinkcocogo electrolyte drinks! –> http://wp.me/p2Vzsi-2bO”).
