Bit of a con this question really, but I think it has relevance to diving from a fitness perspective. There was some discussion recently as to what were the best drinks to take before/after diving to (re)hydrate. I think the conclusions we came to were that either apple juice or water were the best options, most so-called isotonic drinks being not much more than sugary water. Talking to one of the local gym instructors, he said that there was a big difference between the effectiveness of mineral (or spa) water, and distilled water. I hadn't thought much about this, but realised that since most bottled water sold in Hong Kong is distilled water, this was what you were likely to be buying when you pack that extra bottle to consume on the day of diving. Now this guy seems fairly knowledgeable, and even criticised the gym he works in for using distilled water in the coolers. Any nutritionists (or others :) on the list care to comment? thanks in anticipation, JT -- John Taylor, Marketing and Trading Systems, IT Development Credit Suisse Financial Products (Hong Kong) Ltd, 13F, Tower 3, Exchange Square, Central, Hong Kong Office: +852 2101 6927, Fax: +852 2101 7698, Mobile: +852 9031 6395, email: john.taylor@cs*.co*.uk* [private e-mail: live4diving@ho*.co*] -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
