Electrolyte your Next Workout 12/13/2011
Do you find yourself reaching for a PowerAde, Gatorade or other sports drink before, during or after your workouts? Most of us do, we believe they offer us adequate hydration and electrolyte (sodium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorous and calcium) replenishment. There may be a few downsides to this regimen that could be affecting your strategic training program. Which ultimately may negatively impact the benefits you attain from your long hours in the gym and/or on the field. Most all of these sports drinks are saturated with artificial colors, artificial sweetener’s, chemicals and synthetic vitamins. The most used ingredient is high fructose corn syrup from genetically modified corn. HFCS elevates insulin levels, which has been linked in research with a number of medical conditions. It is essential for athletes and individuals who put their bodies in these high states of negative stress from exercise & training, to stay properly hydrated. Proper hydration and blood PH balance allows the body to regulate internal temperature, transport nutrients, help with digestion and increase power and strength during performance. What if there was a more natural way to stay hydrated and energized during and after an intense workout? There is one way. You can replace these beverages with an amazing super-food called Coconut Water. It is naturally enriched with high levels of vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, enzymes, amino acids, cytokine, and phyto-hormones. All of the important things your body needs to aid in muscle growth, and recovery or repair. You can replenish and rehydrate your body with this naturally sweet, unprocessed, inexpensive, low calorie super food and feel good about it. No sports drink in the world has the healing power and natural composition as Coconut Water. Many doctors believe that Coconut Water is similar to human blood plasma and have actually used it intravenously as an IV fluid in remote locations where medical supplies are too expensive or limited. Remember, you spend many hours every week training for specific goals, don’t undo all of your hard work by not properly fueling and rehydrating. Paying special attention to what you put inside your body will help you recover faster and maximize your performance.
