Pickle Punch is a vegetable squeezed drink that has been developed to help prevent and reduce muscle cramps for athletes during athletic workouts and competitions. According to a recent article published in The New York Times, "for years, most people, inside and outside academia, believed that cramping was caused by sweating-induced dehydration and the accompanying loss of sodium and potassium. Sufferers were advised to load up on potassium-rich bananas or chug large amounts of salty sports drinks." Kevin C. Miller, Ph.D., ATC and an assistant professor in the Athletic Training Education Program at North Dakota State University in Fargo, is the lead author of a study conducted on the effects of pickle juice on exercise induced cramps. "Dr. Miller suspects that ultimately, it’s the vinegar in the pickle juice that activates the receptors. Something in the acidic juice, perhaps even a specific molecule of some kind, may be lighting up specialized nervous-system receptors in the throat or stomach, he says, which, in turn, send out nerve signals that somehow disrupt the reflex melee in the muscles."
