Can other drinks
or beverages replace water?
Are you one of those people
who always have a can of soda or soft drink at your desk?
Not only can those drinks pack on the pounds, it can also
deteriorate the body as well.
Sports drinks are arguably said to be a good choice
by athletes needing to replenish minerals. However,
people should caution themselves to not drink them recreationally.
One Baylor University study of sports drinks said there
was one case of irregular heartbeat was reported in
a football player who consumed too much potassium per
day by drinking too much of a sports drink. Sports drinks
also contain sodium, as well as a significant concentration
of carbohydrates and calories.
If people are drinking sports drinks, not because they
are working out and losing minerals through sweat, than
they are not very good for you!
In addition to the daily maintainence of our bodies,
water also plays a key role in the prevention of disease.
