During intense jogging, a large amount of nutrients is lost in the human body. It is for this reason that you need to drink after a run, but not just water, but sports drinks or mixtures.
Water only quenches thirst without replenishing vitamins. You can buy special drinks at any sports store or make your own Regidron.
Why do you need rehydron after jogging?
During intense jogging, nutrients, salts, minerals and fluid are lost from the body. There is a widespread belief that you should not drink after jogging for a while, but this is not the case.
There is only 2 limitation:
- no cold drinks
- no need to drink a lot of liquid.
In general, you can drink any healthy drink after exercise:
- still mineral water;
- milk;
- juice from freshly squeezed fruits and vegetables;
- chilled cocoa.
But specialized sports drinks, which include carbohydrates, proteins, salts, caffeine and minerals, are best.
They perfectly restore balance in the body and bring it to life faster after long distances and loads. Such drinks can be made independently using the drug "Regidron".
For classes more than 3 hours you need:
- 1.5 liters of boiled water.
- 0.5 liters of freshly squeezed vegetable or fruit juice.
- ¼ sachet "Regidron".
It is necessary to mix everything in a container and stir. This mixture can be taken in small doses, even while running, as a dry mouth occurs or after overcoming a distance.

How to use homemade solution?
Rehydron's home solution is no different in use from a pharmacy one. As soon as the need arises to restore the balance of the body and prevent dehydration, you can take this drug.
It can be diluted and made not only in boiled water, but also in compote, freshly squeezed juice, alkaline water, green tea, and so on.
It is necessary to store a pharmacy or homemade solution at a temperature of 2 to 8 ° C and no more than 2 days. The powder medicine can be stored in a dry and dark place for more than 2 years. The drug should lie out of the reach of young children.
Rehydron overdose
Rehydron has been used for over 10 years as a means to restore dehydration and electrolyte balance in the human body. But a violation of the dosage and intake of the drug can lead to negative consequences.
The composition of Regidron consists of:
- sodium chloride;
- potassium chloride;
- sodium citrate dihydrate;
- dextrose;
- vitamins of various groups.
To take the drug, you need to dissolve 1 sachet per 1 liter of boiled water and stir the solution well so that no sediment remains at the bottom.
The use of this mixture should not exceed 24 hours, and at a temperature of 2-8 ° C it can be stored for two days. In order to determine the amount of dosage, you must first weigh the patient. Before or after taking the drug, you should avoid eating foods rich in fats.
The solution dose is calculated from the amount of weight loss of a person after dehydration (diarrhea, intense sports, etc.). For example, if a patient has lost about 500 grams of weight in 10 hours, then it is necessary to replenish this with 1 liter of Rehydron solution.
This dosage can be surpassed only with the recommendation of doctors and after passing specialized tests in the laboratory. For children, this norm does not apply and the exact amount for taking the solution should be checked with specialists.
Subject to all recommendations, side effects were not found. If the dosage is exceeded by the drug, hypernatremia may occur. Its symptoms are: drowsiness, weakness, loss of consciousness, falling into a coma and, in rare cases, respiratory arrest.
In people with impaired renal function, in case of an overdose, metabolic alkalosis may begin, which will affect the deterioration of lung function, the occurrence of tetanic seizures.
If these symptoms of an overdose with Rehydron occur, you should immediately go to the hospital:
- severe fatigue and drowsiness;
- slow speech;
- diarrhea for more than 5 days;
- the appearance of severe pain in the abdomen;
- temperature over 39;
- bloody stools.
Self-treatment is by no means recommended.

The drug "Regidron" is used both for the treatment of diseases associated with dehydration and for sports purposes. Taking special drinks and mixtures after an intense workout or race is very important for the human body
The correct amount and time of intake of such fluids will positively affect the restoration of all the necessary substances in the body. It will also have a beneficial effect on fatigue and rest time after exercise.
