What happened to good ol' fashioned tap water? Coconut water doesn't protect your teeth like the water from my faucet

Eddie, you believe in chem trails, I would be shocked to find out that you support fluoride in drinking water!

Who doesn't support it?! It makes our smiles so white and complacent.

I believe the human body was designed to drink 1 thing.. Water.

Most people don't understand that defluoridation is often a component of "water fluoridation"... naturally occurring water levels are higher than desired in some places:

Coconut water is not a bad thing to drink, although it is an awfully expensive source of potassium and sugar. At least Vita Coco adds vitamin C to it. If you're going to drink coconut water to rehydrate after training, it would be a good idea to add salt to it, because the main thing you lose in sweat is sodium, not potassium: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspiration#Composition

Also don't forget protein, another very important component of recovery. For my recovery drinks I usually follow the Paleo Diet for Athletes' recommendations: http://www.amazon.com/The-Paleo-Diet.../dp/160961917X

I also add wheatgrass powder as a source of micronutrients and this is what I use for my protein source, it also has some good complex carbs, iron, and some other beneficial things: http://www.amazon.com/Optimum-Nutrit.../dp/B002DYJ0K2

I immediately disregard any nutritional advice you have to give if you're a fat person.
