Are sports drinks better than water for exercise? 🤔
Our sports dietitians are breaking down common health and wellness claims made by sports drink companies and comparing them to recommendations from health experts — swipe through the carousel or read on below!
Q: Why is hydration important during exercise?
A: Water makes up 50-75% of the body and is imperative for physiological and biological processes. During a sweaty workout, your fluid needs may increase significantly.
Sweat includes electrolytes like sodium, and folks who sweat a lot during exercise may experience dehydration, muscle cramping, and more if they lose too many electrolytes during vigorous exercise.
Q: Do sports drinks replace the electrolytes lost during exercise?
A: Your body naturally keeps water and electrolytes in balance, meaning sports drinks don`t necessarily replace the amount of sodium lost during exercise. Sports drinks can help you hydrate during longer or more intense workouts but do not actually replenish electrolytes.
Q: What about sports drinks with added carbohydrates for energy?
A: Your body actually stores carbohydrates in muscles and the liver allowing you to have adequate energy for 90-120 minutes of moderate exercise. For anything lasting longer, you may need additional carbohydrates to stay energized.
Q: What about sports drinks with added sugar?
A: Although professional athletes tend to have higher nutrient needs and can handle the sodium and sugar from sports drinks, most Americans have adverse effects to drinks high in sodium and added sugar such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
TL;DR
👉 If you exercise at low to moderate intensity for up to 60 minutes per day, water and a balanced diet is sufficient for hydration during exercise.
👉 Competitive or recreational athletes exercising in hot environments, for longer than an hour, or who are heavy sweaters, will likely benefit from consuming a sports drink that contains electrolytes and carbohydrates during exercise.
