The Absolute Best Drinks For Your Hikes Have CBD + CBDa!

Posted on June 28th, 2023
When youâre heading out for a day hike, itâs very important to make a plan for staying hydrated. You see, if you donât drink water in sufficient amounts, or eat properly, you could face the hikerâs biggest fear: the âbonk.â Itâs what happens if glycogen stores get depleted from your muscles and liver. And itâs something you really want to avoid. Clearly, you need to be prepared with hiking drinks as you hit the trail. But, as it turns out, you also need to pre-game for your hikesâat least when it comes to your hydration. Read on to learn some of the best drinks for your hikes!
The Best Drinks For Your Hikes: What to Drink Before and During a Hike 
You want to make sure youâre hydrated at the start of your hike. So, to be safe, you need to drink waterâand a lot of itâbefore your day hike. But when it comes to drinks for your hikes, what’s the magic number? Of course, this depends on your size and current hydration level, but about 32 ounces (or four glasses) of water should do the trickâŚJust donât drink them all at once, or youâll lose most of your efforts (and a lot of your hiking time) searching for relief spots along the trail.Â
While youâre hiking, your drinking needs to keep up with you. As a general rule of thumb, you should drink 16 ounces for every mile you hike. But here, again, you donât want to chug it all in one go. Instead, sip slowly as you walk. And donât wait until you feel thirstyâthatâs a sign that youâve already started dehydrating!Â
Now, depending on the length of your hike, that can be a lot of water to carry on your back. In fact, it may be impossible. So, if youâre preparing for a longer day hike, or a multi-day excursion, youâll probably need to source and purify water in the wild. Clearly, staying hydrated while you hike doesnât have to be difficultâbut it does require planning.Â
And, it requires something else: the knowledge that your hydration game doesnât end when your hike does. In reality, what you drink after you get home matters just as much, or even more. Just keep reading for the drinks that will end your day hike with a bang.Â
Post-Hike Bonus Boost: Ginger Shots and CBD
After you leave the trail, youâll certainly want to keep drinking water. But, may we suggest adding a signature Tanasi (drink concentrate) to a ginger shot to your post-hike routine? More than just a trendy drink idea, weâve got science on our side with this recommendation.Â
You see, ginger isnât just a flavorful spice. In fact, it has a powerful history in both Chinese and Indian medicine, thanks to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Now, these two properties are always great, but theyâre especially important after a tough hike.
While youâre on the trail, youâre pushing your muscles; the soreness you experience afterward is actually a sign of tiny tears in your muscle fibers. When those tears heal, your muscles emerge stronger and larger. But, if they donât heal properly, you could get hurt.Â
Left to their own devices, those tears will heal, but the process can be slow. You can, however, speed up that recoveryâyour body just needs the proper fuel. And, given gingerâs strength as a known natural anti-inflammatory, we think a ginger shot is an exact fuel youâve been searching for.Â
What is a ginger shot, you may ask? Itâs pretty simple: itâs just the juice of the ginger root. We drink the juice in shot-sized portions for one simple reason: ginger juice is sharp, and a shot is about all most people can handle. Our Tanasi drink concentrate comes in 2mg per drop, or 4mg per drop versions. You can turn your ginger shot into a 10mg ginger CBD shot in seconds by just adding the Tanasi water-soluble drink concentrate.Â
You can buy pre-made ginger shotsâthere are plenty available on the marketâor, you can make your own as we do. Which will leave you plenty of room for adding our secret ingredient: Tanasiâs water-soluble CBD + CBDa, the perfect complement to a post-workout recovery drink. Infused with our patent-pending, 1:1 CBD to CBDa formulation, it’s 2X more effective than drink concentrates with CBD alone!Â
