Athletic performances.
Grueling fully competitive female submission wrestling. Going to make you sweat. A lot.
When isn’t water enough?
When you also need electrolytes.
In medicine, electrolyte replacement is needed as a response to sweating due to strenuous athletic activity. Commercial electrolyte solutions are available for athletes primarily through sports drinks.
Time for a closer look.
The respected team at webmd.com educate, “Electrolytes are chemicals naturally occurring in your body fluids. They include chloride, phosphate, potassium, sodium, and calcium. These are important for normal body functions and should be present in certain concentrations.”
Good to know.
If you are an athlete and are sweating too much, it can lower your electrolyte levels. When this occurs many athletes like to turn to sports drinks.
Sports drinks, also known as electrolyte drinks, are non-caffeinated functional beverages whose stated purpose is to help athletes replace water, electrolytes, and energy before, during and especially after training or competition.
Having said that, the evidence is lacking pertaining to the efficacy of use of commercial sports drinks for sports and fitness performance.
It is important to note that, with sports drinks, some of their ingredients such as sugar, may not be suitable for certain conditions. May not be good for your health as well.
Athletes that are actively training lose water and electrolytes from their bodies by sweating and expending energy. People may choose to consume sports drinks for purposes of fluid replacement, carbohydrate loading, and nutrient supplementation.

Energy drinks, which are often confused with sports drinks, usually contain high amount of caffeine among other dietary supplements. Often the concentration of caffeine is higher than found in soft drinks.
Let’s take a closer look at electrolytes by walking over to the book store.
