[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 546546, member: 11791"] Hydration, plus blood sugar - as in, not getting too low. And no, it's not about "sugar" - that just creates spikes and lows, and makes the problem worse. And doubly no to "ice cold" drinks... the body needs fluids closer to body temperature, or at least room temperature. It's about eating small, healthy, mixed-food-group, high-fiber snacks on a frequent basis. If you're doing hard physical work, it doesn't hurt to be eating (and DRINKING) every 1.5 hours. We have issues with blood sugar in our family, and have learned the correlation between energy output and energy input. Not paying attention to this almost resulted in a medical emergency - we turned it around fast enough, but it took at least 4 weeks to recover. A banana and a glass of milk. A high-fiber granola bar and a short pepperoni stick, with plenty of water. Diluted apple juice and dry trail mix (even just "gorp"). For the record? No chance of getting a cardio work-up on an otherwise healthy teen here either. [/QUOTE]
