First of all, both sports drinks and any other drinks are high-concentration carbohydrate products. This ingredient will delay the digestion and emptying of food in the stomach, which is not conducive to the body's absorption of nutrients. Especially after exercise, if the intensity is not high and the energy consumption is not high, drinking drinks can easily cause nausea and diarrhea.

In addition, there are a lot of electrolytes in sports drinks to ensure that athletes can maintain electrolyte balance in their bodies after strenuous exercise. However, if the body ingests too much electrolyte, it will harm health.

Supplementary principles of sports drinks

1, with supplementary requirements.

Some sports drinks have other additional ingredients, such as B vitamins, which can promote energy metabolism; Vitamin C can be used to remove free radicals, reduce their harm to the body and delay the occurrence of fatigue.

Proper amount of taurine and inositol can promote the synthesis of protein, prevent protein from decomposing, regulate metabolism and accelerate the elimination of fatigue. Because sports drinks have the above basic conditions, they can replenish water in time and maintain the normal balance of body fluids.

Step 2 supplement during exercise

Supplementing 500 ml of liquid 2 hours before exercise can increase the reserves of muscle glycogen and liver glycogen in the body. Drinking more than a few times during exercise can prevent stomach discomfort, and supplementing 15~20 minutes with 125~250 ml of liquid can prolong exercise time and delay fatigue.

Replenishing the fluid lost after exercise can accelerate the recovery of water, sugar, inorganic salts and trace elements lost in the body, promote the rapid recovery of muscle glycogen and achieve the effect of eliminating fatigue.
