    Good to know, I had the misconception that you could only get some never specified minerals from freshwater and that distilled water would leave you mostly thirsty.

      Likely from some company trying to sell expensive foul tasting “sports water”. Eat a bag of crisps with your water if you are really concerned about your salt intake.

      Drinking distilled water will not leave you thirsty. And on a study here in Australia on teenagers drinking electrolyte sport drink vs water while doing athletics, it was proven there was better athletic performance from the water drinkers… Which brings a lot of the advertising into question.

        Sorry, what study exactly?

        Electrolyte (e.g. Potassium) replacement during intense exercise is essential. That’s why every athlete nowadays uses it.
