Healthy Sports Drinks
By. James Harding

Health is wealth goes the old saying. If you want to excel in sports, you need to have a healthy body. Since sports involve a great deal of physical exertion, a lot of body sweat gets discharged from sports persons' bodies. This may lead to dehydration and they may have to deal with depletion of vital nutrients and minerals that give energy in their bodies. To supplement their energy needs, they need to take healthy sports drinks.

Healthy sports drinks are primarily meant to replace body water lost after a physical exertion. They also facilitate replenishment of nutrients, electrolytes, and carbohydrates. Since water makes up around 60% of the person's body, taking healthy sports drinks to keep this water volume intact becomes essential.

Water facilitates regulation of body temperature through sweating. It also plays the role of a transporter of oxygen and nutrients in the body. Since athletes and sports persons sweat a lot, the chances of water reduction in their bodies multiply and they may get dehydrated. Healthy sports drinks can prevent this process.

Healthy sports drinks give instant energy that also lasts longer unlike ordinary sports drinks that give instant energy that last only a few hours. Healthy sports drinks contain calories, sodium, proteins, and other minerals in right proportion. They do not contain any stimulants or sweeteners. They also do not contain substances like caffeine.

Healthy sports drinks are prepared after a great research work on different body needs of sports persons. Sports drinks can be categorized into isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic depending upon their water and sugar content. Isotonic sports drinks contain water similar to the volume of water in the human body, with six to eight percent sugar. Hypotonic sports drinks contain more water and less sugar, while hypertonic sports drinks contain less water and more sugar.
