(CNN) – Researchers from Scotland’s Saint Andrews University have compared the hydration responses of several different drinks.
While many Americans may reach for water when they get thirsty, the study suggests it may not be the best option.
Researchers at the university found that milk is a better option for hydration.
They said milk has sugar, fat and protein – all of which help to slow the emptying of fluid from the stomach and keep hydration over a longer period.
Milk also has sodium, which acts like a sponge and holds ono water in the body.
