STAYING HYDRATED
WHY SQWINCHER ® IS THE BEST CHOICE FOR ELECTROLYTE NEEDS 1 Trusted Brand in Hydration for 45 Years Sqwincher ® has a 45-year history and has been available in Australia and New Zealand since 1999. In that time Sqwincher has gained a reputation as a trusted and reliable brand for anyone who needs to stay hydrated and replenish their electrolytes. It really is hydration that works. 2 Low Sodium Content The Heart Foundation recommends that no adult consumes over 2000mg of sodium per day. Many electrolyte drinks on the market are high in sodium. Sqwincher ® , on the other hand, has a superior balance of sodium and electrolytes. To put this into perspective, a single Sqwincher ® Qwik Stik only contains 138mg of sodium per 600ml. 3 Highest Quality & Low Cost Per Serve Sqwincher ® has a BRC Global Food Safety Certification and despite its high quality and superior taste, Sqwincher ® is also affordable and cost-effective. In fact, it has one of the lowest costs per serve among leading electrolyte brands, making it a smart choice for people who need to replenish their electrolytes regularly. 4 Regular & Sugar-Free Options Sqwincher ® offers both regular and zero-sugar options, allowing people to choose the option that best suits their dietary preferences and needs. Sugar does assist the body in the uptake of electrolytes, but the sugar-free option is also a great choice for those who are watching their calorie and sugar intake. 5 Superior Taste & Palatability In a blind taste test conducted against leading electrolyte brands, Sqwincher ® came out on top in terms of preferred taste. This is important because when you’re engaging in strenuous activities, you need an electrolyte drink that not only hydrates, but also tastes good enough to encourage you to keep drinking. 6 Wide Range of Delivery Formats Sqwincher ® is available in a wide range of delivery formats, including concentrates (Sqwincher ® Concentrate / Sqwincher ® Fast Packs) Qwik Stik powder packs and Sqweeze freezer pops. In a study comparing 22 different electrolyte brands, Sqwincher ® scored the highest on the number of delivery formats available, making it easy for people to find a format that suits their individual preferences. 7 Concentrate Made in Australia Sqwincher ® Concentrate is made in Australia, ensuring high quality and adherence to Australian manufacturing standards.
Working in the harsh Australian heat increases the risk of dehydration and heat stress for Australian workers. Most at risk are those working outdoors performing physically intensive labour and indoor workers who are exposed to high temperatures with poor ventilation. If you work in the heat, ensure you follow these tips to minimise your risk of heat illness and dehydration to stay safe and healthy. Don't wait until you are thirsty to drink. If you are thirsty you are already dehydrated. Instead drink small amounts frequently at regular intervals. 250mls every 15-20 minutes is the recommendation for working in the heat. 1 DON'T WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE THIRSTY KEEP IT IN A COOL PLACE You are more inclined to drink when fluid is readily available. Keep your cooler with you and ensure it is well insulated like the Frontier JugRnaut, with an easy pour/refill spout and lid. 2 CARRY A DRINK BOTTLE OR COOLER Recent workplace studies have shown that many Australian workers show up to work already 2% dehydrated. Drink plenty of fluids in the hours before your shift so that you are not starting your work day with a fluid deficit. 3 PRE-HYDRATE
Monitor how much you are sweating and going to the toilet and ensure you are replacing these fluids. 4 MONITOR YOUR BODY FLUIDS
EFFECTS OF ELECTROLYTE IMBALANCE
When dehydrated our bodies need more than water alone. We need to replace all the essential nutrients we lose through sweat. These nutrients are known as electrolytes. Blood pressure, fluid balance and muscle contractions are some of the key functions that electrolytes help regulate in our bodies. Having an adequate supply of electrolytes, such as Sqwincher ® is an important factor to consider when developing a hydration program. If electrolytes lost through perspiration are not replaced, effects of electrolyte imbalance may occur.
• When perspiring, if a person's sodium levels drop too low, they may experience muscle weakness, cramping and dizziness
• Similarly if a person's potassium levels drop too low, confusion, muscle weakness and paralysis may occur
• If sodium is not replaced, and blood concentrations of sodium fall below a critical maximum - hyponatremia may set in. Without treatment, hyponatremia may lead to swelling of the brain, seizure and death
