Electrolyte Drinks
Taste great. However, many contain high amount of fructose, corn syrup, artificial sweetner and even refined sugar. Fructose in some studies is known to cause severe cramping when you perform intensive cardio training i.e. triathlons….so to sum it up, drink lots of water and eat fruit (berries).
If you’re looking for electrolytes then go to whole foods and buy an electrolyte supplement that you can add to water.
In addition, many of these beverages can substantially add calories to your diet…so, don’t drink the 32 ounce bottle after 30 minutes of cardio and expect to see a difference in your weight.
Do you know your BMI? Your Body Mass Index is a number that helps determine if you are at risk for weight-related diseases. While it is not a perfect measure, it is a helpful tool. BMI values from 18.5 to 24.9 are considered healthy. BMI values from 25-29.9 are considered overweight, and BMI values of 30 or greater are considered obese.
