Pay attention to the body's sewer mode

To participate in a marathon, the exercise time is 2 hours 3 minutes to 6 hours, the number of steps is between 40,000 and 50,000, the arm swings 80,000 to 100,000 times, consumes 2400 kcal-3000 kcal, body temperature 39-41 degrees, flow Sweat 2500 ml - 4000 ml (The more sweat you have, the longer you get. The data clearly shows that after completing a marathon run, fluid supplementation is equally important, apart from system training, scientific physical distribution, and tenacious will quality.

What kind of liquid do you really need to add?

The first answer is of course water. Water includes natural water (containing impurities) and artificial water (water obtained by chemically reacting hydrogen and oxygen atoms). The function of water in the human body is mainly:

1, dissolve and digest. Water has a strong dissolving power and ionizing ability, and allows water-soluble substances to exist in a dissolved state and an electrolyte ion state, and nutrients can be dissolved in water to participate in metabolism.

2, metabolism. The exchange of substances and chemical reactions in the human body are all carried out in water. Water is the guarantee for normal metabolism of various chemicals in the body. If the human body lacks water for a long time, the metabolic function will be abnormal, which will slow the metabolism and accumulate too much energy and fat, making people obese.

3, nutrition carrier. Because water has good solubility and strong fluidity, it is also contained in various tissues and organs in the body. Water acts as a carrier for various nutrients in the body.

4, adjust. The specific heat of water is high, and it regulates body temperature. In addition, water can also improve the circulation of body fluids, regulate muscle tension, and maintain the body's osmotic pressure and acid-base balance. .

5, lubrication and moisture. The activities of joints, ligaments, muscles, and membranes in the body are all made of water as a lubricant, as well as dilution and detoxification functions. In adults, 60-70% of the mass is water. The loss of water by 10% in the body threatens health, and water loss by 20% is life-threatening. However, if you simply think that rehydration is as simple as drinking thirsty water, it will pay a heavy price.

You need to replenish the energy that can help you complete the task, the lubricant that can provide protection to the joints, the ability to evaporate to maintain the body's unheated moisture, and enough electrolytes to maintain muscle work and nervous system excitability. And water is not fully available to you. You need a professional sports drink.

On a global scale, sports drinks appeared in 1965. At the time, the University of Florida football team often lost the ball, and it was analyzed that the players were mainly physically weak. Some of the school’s biochemistry professors have found that adding sugar and appropriate sodium and potassium electrolytes to the water and configuring it for rapid digestion and absorption can help athletes recover quickly. After the team used the miracle appeared. The players are physically strong and have won the National Rugby League Championship several times. This team is usually made after the game, known as the second half of the team. Since the team's team name is Gator, this drink is named Gatorade (Chinese name Gatorade).

Sports Drink Gatorade's invention, the contribution to the sports world is no less than Adidas invented spikes, it not only improves the athlete's performance but also protects the athlete's health, while also creating a more than one billion US dollars in the industry. So far, Gatorade, P owerade and PocariSweat have occupied the top three of the world's sports drinks, and light and sharp has emerged in the arena of the Olympic Games. Be sure to note that drinking water can quickly relieve thirst and cause the brain to get a false signal that the body does not need to be supplemented. In fact, drinking lots of water while thirsty can cause the body to go into a so-called sewer mode: the water that is drunk is rapidly discharged by sweat, and the blood concentration rapidly decreases. When it is severe, it will cause serious harm to the body.

Professional sports drinks contain sugar and electrolyte components that can supplement the lost elements of sweat. At the same time, due to a professionally researched formula, its ion concentration reaches a reasonable ratio, enabling the body to absorb quickly and on the palate. It can also adapt to the taste of high body temperature and stimulate people's drinking.
