Water and Gatorade are fine – but if you’ve got a cramp – reach for the pickle juice...
It’s been used in sports for decades and a new study out of BYU put pickle juice to the test. Subjects exercised to the point of mild dehydration and had cramps induced. Those who drank pickle juice felt relief within 85 seconds, almost twice as fast as water or other sports drinks.
Buccaneers team nutritionist Kevin Luhrs says pickle juice is a natural source of sodium and other electrolytes. Sodium is a component of sweat and the pickle juice helps replace what was lost and helps retain water in the body.
