What is the best drink to drink during exercise?

Consider drinking sugar water. What should I eat after work or exercise? Alkaline foods should be eaten.

Among animal foods, only milk and animal blood are alkaline foods, and the others are acidic foods. In terms of beverages, it is best to drink milk, soy milk and tea, fruit juice (without sugar), mineral water or plain water. As for whether it is better to drink salt water or sugar water after exercise, it should be flexibly grasped according to the specific situation.

In general, in the case of heavy sweating, you should drink some light salt water appropriately. Exercising under conditions that are not too intense, not too long, and the ambient temperature is not too high, the body produces less heat, and does not produce a lot of perspiration and inorganic salt loss. At this time, there is no need to drink either salt water or sugar water.

Exercise or physical labor can cause sweating, especially in the case of high outside temperature and humidity in summer, the amount of sweating is more, with sweating, a large amount of water and electrolytes (mainly sodium salts) in the body are lost, and the purpose of advocating rehydration is to make these lost substances be replenished in time, so that the environment in the body remains stable. This is the most basic condition for maintaining physiological function and health. Water is a commonly used rehydration drink, it can be quickly absorbed to improve the body's dehydration state, and water is easy to obtain and cheap

However, water as a drink for sports training or physical labor, there are some limitations or deficiencies, water has no taste, drinking too much sometimes causes some nausea, so the mobilization often stops drinking water before reaching the recovery of body fluids. Water is a sugar-free drink, so it cannot provide energy for people during exercise or labor, just like a car running without fuel. In addition, water basically does not contain electrolytes, and drinks with electrolytes taste good, can promote athletes' drinking, and help maintain the balance of body fluids, although water temporarily quenches thirst, but activates kidney function, in other words, it opens the faucet of kidney excretion, causing diuresis.

This is because if the salt in the body is not replenished, just drinking a lot of water, the water cannot be held back in the body, which will cause diuresis and will increase sweating, so that the possibility of optimal recovery of water in the body is reduced. On the basis of a large number of scientific research results on the development of sports drinks for the majority of athletes love, and widely selected, because they can not only promote the recovery of body water and electrolytes, but also improve the training effect and competition performance, the so-called scientific development refers to the sports drink contained in the sugar (sweetness) and electrolytes (saltiness) suitable, not only good taste, so that people are willing to drink, promote the rehydration in sports; Moreover, studies have also shown that sports drinks containing 6 -7 sugars and a moderate amount of sodium salts are absorbed faster than water, which accelerates the delivery of fluid and energy to the muscles to achieve the effect of "sending charcoal in the snow", that is, to achieve the highest "rehydration" efficiency, and the oil is added when "refueling" is needed most. It is not difficult to understand that when this sports drink is consumed, athletic performance and exercise efficiency will increase.

Be careful not to overdo it!

Drink functional drinks, liquid glucose can effectively replenish physical strength, and light salt water can replenish the salt excreted through sweat to maintain acid-base balance.
