Energy drinks: what are they?

It is important to know from the start that an energy drink is a nutrition product intended for athletes. It is mainly made for endurance athletes who are constantly looking to push their limits. It is composed of water, vitamins, sugar, mineral salts, and antioxidants. It properly rehydrates the body and helps fight fatigue.
Moreover, it boosts the athlete's energy, allowing them to improve their performance. It is the drink for long and intense efforts. It is recommended to drink it before, during, and even after physical exertion. Some dietitians even advise taking a few sips every 20 minutes. Of course, the frequency and even the quantity can vary depending on the activity performed and the climate conditions.
 

What is the importance of energy drinks?

Endurance sports are synonymous with self-surpassing, as your body must maintain high strength for long periods. In addition to this, there is a desire to achieve and break personal records. Therefore, it is essential for endurance athletes not to neglect any step, from preparation to recovery after intense physical exertion. It is thus a matter of optimizing hydration and energy intake.
Energy drinks are special drinks that contain electrolytes. It should be noted that during exertion, you lose an average of 1 to 1.5 liters of water per hour. Depending on certain factors such as the intensity of the effort, its duration, or the ambient temperature, the loss can increase to 3 liters per hour. It is important to specify that a 2% water loss is more than enough to harm your performance. Moreover, it is generally at this stage of loss that thirst is triggered and even increased.
You will find it difficult to break your record with this annoying sensation of thirst and fatigue. It is therefore important to prevent them with a quality training drink. To compensate for everything you have lost through sweating, you need an isotonic energy drink to boost your carbohydrate and mineral levels.
The combination of carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals will compensate for the nutritional needs of athletes during major competitions. It is also useful in high-intensity exercises such as hiking, ultra-trail, running, mountaineering, and cycling. Electrolyte-rich drinks are designed to help with hydration. They also help fight fatigue. Electrolytes are composed of sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium.
Energy drinks are ideal for sustained and long-duration efforts, just like savory energy bars, energy purees, or energy cakes, for example. They are particularly appreciated by the young, active, and busy population. They help boost physical energy levels. Moreover, they prolong alertness and stimulate intellectual development. However, they are not recommended for daily use, especially considering their significant caloric intake.

What to complement our energy drinks with?

First, let us remind you that it is important to stay properly hydrated even after exertion. It is recommended to continue consuming an energy drink for 1 to 2 hours after exertion. This will adequately compensate for everything that has been lost. Moreover, since some activities are more energy-consuming than others, you have the option to complement your drink with another food item.
For example, you can pair the drink with plain yogurt, hot chocolate, or cottage cheese. Also, you can alternate your drink with other types of snacks like energy gels that you will find on our site. They are also effective in replenishing your energy.
In short, it is important to engage in physical activity, but it is even more important to provide all the necessary elements to ensure your well-being. Endurance sports consume a lot of energy that you must constantly replace. Energy drinks are ideal for this.
