Cranberry juice
Cranberries are natural oral rehydration solutions. These small berries contain a lot of water and good amounts of sugar and salt. Cranberry juice is rich in important hydrating electrolytes, such as sodium and potassium.
Make sure your cranberry juice is fresh when you drink it. You can drink up to two cups a day. Cranberry juice contains a lot of sugar [5], so you shouldn’t take too much of it if you’re watching your calories.
