Are There Any Side Effects Of Consuming Electral Powder Frequently?
Hello Doctor - I try to run ~5 to 6 km thrice a week. In addition to the running, I try to do some standard muscle stretches. After a typical running + stretches session (which lasts for 75 to 90 minutes end-to-end), I sometimes feel a bit weak. After coming home, I have one litre of water mixed with Electral (oral rehydration powder). This tends to provide me instant energy and I feel fresh a short while after drinking this. Are there any side-effects of consuming Electral frequently? Thanks,

Hi
If you feel too much tired and also dehydrated, only then drink ORS. If you drink daily, extra salts and sugars will accumulate in your body which may lead to diabetes, arthritis or other related diseases.Instead opt for fresh juices or smoothies which is very beneficial.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
