Watch Those Summer Drinks!

It's easy to rationalize using sports and energy drinks in the heat of summer activities. An energy jolt may boost your game and stores have aisles of drinks to meet that desire. But a recent study shows that such drinks bathe the teeth in acid, rapidly eroding tooth enamel. In a matter of days, you can damage your teeth.

Better alternatives on the playing field or training circuit include chilled herb teas, coconut water, water flavored by mint leaves, and just plain water. All have excellent re-hydrating properties without the sugar, acid, caffeine and artificial ingredients.
