is just water enough?

I told BF about my question about water vs sports drinks. He suggests I try something called Barely Water. Apparently it is what the cricketers and tennins players and footballers used before the invention of isotonic sports drinks. I'm a bit skeptical about a fruit squash made with barley, but he says it's good. I'll give it a try next week. Problem will be how to find it in CA next year if it works.

Otherwise I will just stick to the plan of drinking more water and juice and eating healthy snacks often. Don't want to overdo the crisps with all the fat, but pretzels may be better.

My mother used to make me drink barley water - it's supposed to be good for cystitis, but personally, I prefer the taste of cranberry juice.

Have you tried eating marmite for the salt cravings? My sister and I both eat marmite on toast after sports. Obviously this won't help if you are one of those people who can't stand marmite.
