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.
