Chris Gronkowski - Hydration & Jill Lane - Vitamins and Supplements #1503
Workout Wednesday
It’s Workout Wednesday! Chris Gronkowski, Inventor and Owner of IceShaker is here to breakdown the importance of hydration. Nutrition expert Jill Lane is on the show to share what ingredients to AVOID in our supplements and vitamins.
Chris Gronkowski
Chris first made a career for himself as a professional football player, joining the NFL in 2010 after being signed by the Dallas Cowboys as a fullback. During his years in the NFL, Gronkowski also played for the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos.
Now, with the help of his four brothers, Chris Gronkowski puts all of his energy into running Ice Shaker, continuously updating the product line while improving the experience of protein shakers everywhere.
The Importance Of Hydration
Hydration is crucial. As an athlete, Chris says athletes easily drink a gallon of water a day. In any locker room, there is a chart that shows what color your urine should be. Every single chemical reaction happens in water, so if you are using creatine or any other supplement that has chemical reactions, you NEED water. Sometimes cramping and injuries in athletic games are because the athlete needs more water. Water can prevent injuries and tears in the body. You should always schedule your eating times to balance out your hydration intake. Wondering how much water you should drink? The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine determined that an adequate daily fluid intake is: About 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day for men. About 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids a day for women.

The ABCs of Vitamins and Supplements - The Ingredients To Avoid
Buying supplements and vitamins can be extremely confusing, even to those who do their homework! There are clear cut rules in the supplement company business, but the FDA rarely can check in on every single pop-up supplement shop. There is a lack of man power. Avoid all supplements and vitamins that have any kinds of food dyes. Artificial sweeteners sneak into all kinds of things because sweet things and colorful things sell! Black pepper is a way that people are enhancing the absorption of turmeric, and in this case, it is harmful. Try and take turmeric at a simple level. Also, Jill says to be careful of folic acid supplements. You need to look for folate acid, and not simply folic acid. Listen to the full show to get all the details!
