Myth: Sports drinks are the best way to re-hydrate after a workout.

Truth: Most sports drinks are just sugar and water.

Instead, experts recommend refueling with plain old water and a high-protein snack, since studies suggest protein helps recondition muscles after a workout. (Because the contents of supplements like protein powders can be largely unregulated, however, your best bet is to eat real protein-packed food.)
