We’ve all been there – in the middle of a race or game and our bodies feel completely spent. We’ve given it our all, but yet we still feel that it hasn’t been enough. It can happen in the middle of training as well, where we’re just not feeling that we are on top of our game, where the kilometres feel longer than ever, the hills seem steeper, or the water that we’re swimming in feels like a current that is heavily against us.
There is often one underlying theme when our bodies hit this low point – nutrition. When it comes to sport or exercise of any kind, nutrition plays a key role in how well we perform and how well our bodies recover. Think about a race car for a second. If you put dirty fuel into it, it’s most likely not going to cross the finish line first (or second or third). It’s the same with our bodies – nutrition is the fuel that keeps us going, keeps us performing optimally, and enables us to dominate on the track, field, or the water.
Whether it’s an everyday runner pounding the pavement, a cyclist pushing through challenging terrains, or a swimmer slicing through the water, what they consume directly impacts their energy levels, endurance, and overall results.
As our understanding of sports nutrition has evolved, so too have the products that have come to market. Sports and nutrition have long been intertwined, but the science behind optimising athletic performance through what you put into your body has undergone a significant evolution in recent years.
One product range that has been in the spotlight over the past ten years or so, is sports drinks. They are more popular than ever before, providing a quick and easy way to get the hydration, electrolytes, and nutrients you need when you need it most. They’ve come a long way in what they offer our bodies, most of them at least.
Why Not Any Sports Drink Will Do
So, what are the healthiest sports drinks in the world?
Well, let’s first start by looking at the fact that not all sports drinks are created equal! While there are plenty of options on the market that claim to enhance performance, the truth is that the effectiveness of a sports drink hinges on its ingredients. For both weekend warriors and professional athletes, choosing the right drink can make a significant difference in performance and recovery.
There are a few ingredients that are crucial for a sports drink to be effective. Electrolytes, like sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium, help maintain fluid balance and prevent dehydration, which is oh-so important when you’re hoping to give it your all. Carbohydrates give you a quick source of energy, replenishing glycogen stores that are hammered during exercise. Amino acids help with muscle repair and recovery, reducing soreness and promoting faster healing.
So which sports drinks should you trust and which should you avoid like the plague? First of all, check the ingredients that we’ve just mentioned. Secondly, if you’re serious about your fitness and what you put into your body, take a look at the company that is creating these products. Are they credible? Are they passionate about sports nutrition? Do they have a good track record (see what we did there)? Another important thing to consider is whether or not the brand uses natural ingredients.
The good news is that Fixx Nutrition’s range of sports drinks tick each of the boxes above.
What Happens to Your Body During Training Without the Right Nutrients
Training and competing without the right nutrients can have detrimental effects on the body. When you’re pushing the limit, your body needs more than just water to stay hydrated and perform at its best. Depriving the body of essential nutrients during intense physical activity can lead to dehydration, muscle cramps, fatigue, and impaired performance. This is not a good place to be.
Without enough electrolytes, your body’s fluid balance is disrupted, which results in decreased stamina and an increased risk of heat-related illnesses. Not having enough carbohydrate intake can result in low energy levels and reduced endurance, making it difficult to keep you going for as long as you need to. A lack of amino acids can impede your muscle repair and recovery, causing prolonged soreness and an increased risk of injury.
