Sweating a lot in summer, children have been sweating after outdoor activities, will electrolyte solution be lost? Many parents know whether functional drinks can replace water. This reporter interviewed Liu Jianfeng, deputy director of the emergency department of Guangzhou Red Cross Hospital. He indicated that drinking such drinks for a long time is very easy to cause "nutrition overflow", so it is not recommended to replace water with functional drinks, and proper nutrition should be supplemented from a balanced diet every day.

Liu Jianfeng introduced in detail that functional drinks are electrolyte solution filled drinks, similar to human blood, which can quickly fill water and electrolyte solution flowing out of the body. Because of sweating a lot during fitness exercise, functional drinks are often used to supplement the water and electrolyte solution lost with sweat after exercise, especially for athletes who participate in technical professional competitions after many strenuous exercises. Judging from the nutritional composition, the key has these characteristics.

This drink contains a certain amount of sugar. If you don't make up after outdoor activities because you consume a lot of sugar in your body, your muscle tissue will feel sleepy, your fitness and sports ability will also decline, and your brain's ability to regulate activities will weaken, which will easily lead to fatigue. So this drink can quickly replenish calories.

The electrolyte solution of this beverage is moderate. Sweating after exercise will often cause a large loss of electrolyte solutions such as potassium and sodium, which will lead to physical weakness and even leg cramps, leading to a decline in physical fitness and sports ability. Just the sodium and potassium in this drink is beneficial to make up for the loss of sodium and potassium in sweat, and it is also beneficial to the retention of water in capillaries, so that the human body can get more water.

Having said that, for children who are still in the developmental stage, drinking this kind of beverage for a long time will easily lead to "nutrient overflow", and more seriously, it will also lead to hypokalemia and aggravate the renal function load, which will have adverse effects on the human body. Therefore, it is not recommended to replace drinking water with functional drinks, and to supplement appropriate nutrients in a balanced diet every day.
