HIKING  BACKPACK TAC - HIKING GOODIES

Fill your backpack with scrumptious goodies that will energize and revive!  

While hiking, precious electrolytes are lost through exertion and need to be replenished. Hydrating is also essential.  Bear in mind that it's important to replenish water, but not to the point to where you are inputting a good deal of pure water into your system without replacing  precious minerals.  

Drinking large volumes of water creates a disturbance in the electrolytes of the body and can cause serious health damage, including death - so if you're hiking, risks will be greater.

Many sports drinks replenish both lost fluids and minerals and make a good choice for hydrating. Take note however that studies indicate that popular sport's drinks can contribute to dental decay.

Potassium is one of the precious minerals that will need to be replaced. The banana - a golden goddess - is virtually fat free, contains vitamin B-6, vitamin C, a fair amount of fiber, is low in sodium and rich in potassium and should fit the Potassium Bill nicely..

Potassium may also assist in quelling leg cramps in some individuals, so if you are experiencing these, check with your doctor about incorporating more of this golden beauty into your diet. You may also experience less leg aches after that brisk hike, particularly so if your body is dehydrated.

Potatoes and orange juice are also excellent potassium food choices and will work to energize you.

Salt is another lost mineral that will need to be replaced.

Other good backpack entries include: jerky, Fruit Roll Ups, nuts, granola bars, hard candy, chewing gum (helps keep the mouth from drying out) and raw veggies.
