People in the gym often drink sports drinks, but they drink less water. Why?
The main purpose of using sports drinks in gyms is to help people do high-intensity exercise better, thus improving energy level and endurance. Compared with ordinary water, sports drinks contain more electrolytes, sugar and other additives, which help to provide energy, maintain water balance, regulate muscle function and delay fatigue. In addition, sports drinks can also provide some vitamins and minerals needed by the human body to meet the nutritional needs of the human body during exercise.

Although using sports drinks in the gym has certain benefits, we should also pay attention to the right amount. Excessive dependence on sports drinks will lead to excessive intake of sugar and other additives, increase human calorie intake, and then affect health. Therefore, you can drink sports drinks in moderation during high-intensity exercise, but it is healthier to take ordinary water as the main drink.
