Energy drinks?!
Question:
Energy drinks?
I've been reading that carbohydrate-electrolyte solution drinks are good for keeping the energy up while cycling & that they're actually better for performance than plain water.
What exactly are these drinks though?
I've been told by a family member that they're just energy drinks like we can buy in a sweet shop, but I thought those soft drinks were full of sugar & not so good for us at all.
Could you help to clear this up for me & explain what exactly carbohydrate-electrolyte solution drinks are.
Thankyou very much.
Answers:
These energy drinks (gateroade, red bull, monster, ect.) add more electrolights and boost up your energy and your heart rate and then bring it down 5 min. later if you drink it while you're not exercising, especially red bull. That's why you should only drink energy drinks if you are going to exercise.
Hope this helps!
