An advantage of using sports drinks for fluid replacement during exercise is that:
c. they have a pleasant taste which encourages consumption.
Explanation:
- If you are doing moderate exercise in a very hot environment, you may also lose electrolytes that can't be replaced by drinking water alone.
- Sports drinks can help replenish electrolytes lost during exercise, and because they contain sugar, they can also give you a boost of energy to help you get through a workout
- The best bet for rehydration is to consume a low-cal beverage that contains electrolytes such as sodium and potassium.
- Good choices include sports drinks (go low-cal if your workout), try coconut water, or water with a slice of fruit. The refreshing hint of flavor may drive you to drink more
- During exercise, the main way the body maintains optimal body temperature is by sweating. Heat is removed from the body when beads of sweat on the skin evaporate, resulting in a loss of body fluid.
