Let's take a look at what a functional drink is. It changes some nutrient elements and content ratio in the beverage, which can help us to regulate our body functions. It should be noted that functional drinks are not a medicine and cannot be used to treat diseases. So can we drink these functional drinks after exercise? The answer is yes, because functional drinks have the function of anti-fatigue and restoring physical strength.
It is rich in taurine and lysine, two important amino acids, and also rich in vitamins. With the help of these nutrients, it can help the human body absorb and decompose sugar, and it can also help supplement the energy our body needs, help us eliminate fatigue and relieve fatigue.
However, it is worth noting that functional drinks are not suitable for drinking too much, because our bodies will be short of water after strenuous exercise. Excessive exercise leads to dehydration, so in this case, it is very easy to cause kidney damage, so if we drink a lot of sugary substances at this time, it is likely to cause some discomfort to our body.
Moreover, some functional drinks are rich in substances such as caffeine. If we consume too much caffeine, it is likely to cause our heart rate to become faster and make our nervous system more excited. In this way, our heart burden increases, so some people are likely to feel dizzy and sick. It should be noted that some friends with diabetes or cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases suggest not to drink too much functional drinks.
So avoid caffeinated or carbonated drinks when choosing, because if you drink a lot of carbonated drinks after exercise, it will cause stomach discomfort and so on. If our own exercise is not particularly large, we can choose some boiled water or light salt water, which can replenish the water and inorganic salts we need in time, which is very helpful to our health.
