2. Best Choice After Heavy Work Is A Sports Drink
Even though the clever marketing of sports drink owning companies will get you on board with this statement, it is nothing more than a clever myth. Sports drinks, like Gatorade, contain high levels of salt ions (also called electrolytes) that help replace your body’s lost salts and minerals through sweat, after a long, hard exercise. They are highly advisable for sports persons, because among many other things the salts enhance nerve functioning and help maintain the blood pH levels.
Some even jokingly say that after a long day of running or hiking in the sun, beer is a better choice than sports drink. So, your body will be satisfied with a few glasses of water after the regular workouts. You can, obviously, go for a sports drink if you wish.
