File this under things I wish I knew about earlier in my pregnancy. My friend Jess recently introduced me to electrolyte drinks. When you’re dehydrated, your body suffers from a loss of water and electrolytes, and it’s important that you replenish what your body has lost—because we all know how not-amazing dehydration feels (not to mention the effects on our skin and overall health). These Basis Low Sugar Electrolyte Drinks put back what your body loses after a big workout (or extreme morning sickness during pregnancy) without adding in tons of sugar that can typically be found in other electrolyte sports drinks. It was formulated based on recommendations from the World Health Organization, and contains very basic, pronounce-able ingredients so you know you’re getting hydrated without any other unnecessary stuff in your drink.
