How to Stay Hydrated with Andre Drummond

How To Stay Hydrated with Andre

As summer comes to a close, sports season is in full swing for many schools. During this time period where the weather can still be humid, hydration is a major concern for athletes or parents of kids who participate in sports. Read below on how Detroit Pistons basketball player, Andre Drummond, beats the heat and get his tips on how to stay hydrated all season long.

Andre –

When I am training, hydration is very important to keep in mind. I feel better, perform better, and recover faster when I pay close attention to how I’m fueling my body. By staying hydrated, I gain the energy I need to have my best workouts, which is why my go to drinks are water and milk.

Building Healthy Habits Young

I learned a lot of my healthy habits from my mom. For as long as I can remember, milk was always on the table during meals. From milk in my cereal to milk with dinner, it was a staple to my diet.

It wasn’t until I was older when I realized how valuable milk was to my athletic activities, and how it could positively impact my post-workout recovery so much better than sports drinks could. Like having the right tool for the job, having the right drink for what your body needs is important to be your best.

I know my career puts me in the position of being a role model, but to me, my mom is the real role model. I think a lot of kids probably feel the same way about their moms.

How to stay hydrated with Andre

You Can Stay Hydrated Too!

Here are some tips I learned growing up I still use today to keep hydrated – not just when I’m in season:

  • Have a glass of water first thing in the morning. Before breakfast, coffee, or even before hitting the shower, I start my day by drinking a glass of water. It only takes a minute, but sets me off in the right direction from the start.
  • Hydrate before, during, and after every workout. About an hour before I hit the court or gym, I have a glass of water. Throughout my workout, I stop for a drink when I feel thirsty or lethargic. After a workout I really love flavored milk. Milk contains water, electrolytes, and the protein my body needs to reap the benefits of working out long after I’m done with exercise.
  • Always carry a water bottle. I carry one that works for hot and cold drinks. It’s perfect for ice water and ice cold milk, depending on what my hydration need is at the time and what sounds good to me. Make it as easy as possible to have a drink nearby and you’re more likely to stay well-hydrated!

Whether you’re an athlete looking for an advantage, a parent looking to teach your kids good habits, or you’re just looking for an easy way to improve your health overall, hydration is key. Drink up!

We are excited to announce our final Home Fridge Advantage winner – Congratulations to Brenda from Wyoming, MI! Brenda’s daughter Tiffany nominated her because she takes care of everyone in the family despite her own hardships. Brenda has always used second-hand refrigerators and is currently without a refrigerator at all. She has been using coolers to keep food cold while waiting to find an affordable refrigerator. Brenda’s wait is over, because she is getting a new refrigerator, a $500 grocery gift card and $500 cash to fill it with #UndeniablyDairy and groceries, courtesy of Michigan’s dairy farmers, the @DetroitLions and @Kroger. Brenda selected Wyoming Elementary School, where her granddaughter attends, and the Family Network of Wyoming, which has a food pantry, for her “Forward Pass.”

We are excited to announce our next Home Fridge Advantage Winner – Congratulations to Ameenah from Highland Park who was nominated by her mother Adeeba. Ameenah is a part-time University of Detroit Mercy nursing student and is expecting her first child. She also worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant earlier this year at a local nursing home, caring for those isolated and battling COVID-19. Unfortunately her refrigerator leaks water and no longer keeps food at a safe temperature, much of it spoiling quickly. “I nominated Ameenah because she always cares for others and it is her turn to receive help,” said Adeeba. She will receive a new refrigerator, $500 Kroger gift card and $500 cash to fill it with #UndeniablyDairy and groceries! Courtesy of Michigan's dairy farmers, the @detroitlionsnfl and @kroger. Ameenah completed her “Forward Pass,” granting Destined for Greatness Mentoring $2000 to purchase equipment that will allow them to provide more nutrient-rich milk to young women in the City of Detroit.
