I like to Drink EcoDrink it has 3x the electrolytes as most sports drinks without the sugar or sodium. It really re-hydrates me after my workout and training!!!!
It's not a scary as it sounds. Pre-digested is a term used for food that has gone through a process of artificial digestion by enzymes. This makes the food, or drink in this case, easier to digest, but you knew that.
thanks.... i was going too post tech data, but you had simplified it is it true that one can "drown" if they drink too much water-fluid
Drinking too much water can lead to a serious imbalance in electrolytes which can, in turn, lead to death: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyponatremia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication It's can be one of the causes of deaths following MDMA (Ecstasy) use, as the drug often makes the user feel very thirsty. It can also occur in endurance sports, partially because of the over-emphasis there has been on the importance of staying 'hydrated' that has been drummed into the public conscious by the adverts for sports drinks.
The University of Bonn has undertaken research into the way caffeine changes the way the heart beats. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-25156509
How fast can you say DUH? Of course they crank up the heart rate, their job is to release adrenaline...
caffeine is pretty crazy check this study which found carbs and caffeine together prevent decline in performance during intervals of sprints, jogging, jumps and skill tests in football http://www.researchgate.net/publication/45092829_The_influence_of_caffeine_and_carbohydrate_coingestion_on_simulated_soccer_performance/file/9fcfd50870893349af.pdf
I didn't mean it as an attack on anyone, lol, I just couldn't help noticing they're stating the blindingly obvious. XD
An advertising campaign for the drink Lucozade Sport has been banned. http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/25650519
About time this sort of dodgy advertising was stopped. Given the number of overweight people in gyms using sports drinks after spending 10 minutes on a treadmill, GSK's claim that is obviously not true! It's lying by omission of the qualifying factors, which is far too common in the media these days - particularly in regards to 'science' reporting. This made me laugh though - talk about pot and kettle, the bottled water industry is just as bad - particularly those selling 'vitamin' and 'health' waters! :bang:
Well I don't know a lot about a lot, but one thing I do know is this, I haven't drank hardly a single soda or a single sports drink in almost six months and I've been working out now everyday for the past year and at the age of nearly forty I have a six pack on a good day and I can now run three to five miles at a time let me add that I'm knocking out about ten to twelve pull-ups and about forty five or so knuckle push-ups in under two minutes, and if I never ever drank a sports drink I don't think it would hinder me one single bit.
I try to stay away from sports drinks and energy drinks because of the high sugar content. I find carbs make me put on weight right away so I try to keep them to a minimum.
is there anything you can recommend that i can add to water so it will be not that boring to drink hope there is we have energy drinks but how this product makes us dehydrated while it says that its for dehydration this make me sick
I empathise. I can stomach bottled water only when I'm thirsty and tap water makes me retch. I put a bit of zero sugar fruit cordial (squash) in my water bottle to make it palatable. Nothing wrong with that.
