Generally speaking, energy drinks contain taurine, caffeine, B vitamins, carbon dioxide, sugar, sodium citrate, edible spices and other ingredients. Taurine is contained in most energy drinks. Taurine, also known as aminoethyl sulfonic acid, is one of the nutrients needed by human body. Taurine plays an important role in maintaining the operation and development of the brain. It can not only accelerate the proliferation and elongation of neurons, but also inhibit nerves and protect the brain from oxidative damage.
Experts say that athletes who do high-intensity sports such as marathon should drink sports drinks. If they exercise for less than 2 hours, they don't need to drink sports drinks at all. It is enough for ordinary fitness enthusiasts to replenish water in time to prevent dehydration. On the contrary, drinking sports drinks with too many calories will affect the fitness effect.
Sports drink is not only water, but also contains nutrition and energy supplement. So it has something to do with the amount of exercise we do, and it has something to do with physical consumption. If you don't exercise much, drinking sports drinks often means too much nutrition and calories, then the calories you consumed in your previous exercise are equivalent to being replenished, that is, you exercise for nothing.
