Is Water Better than Sports Drinks?Is water better than sports drinks? There is no doubt to the answer of this question, but we are not comparing apples with apples here and water is not water. What! Water is water. Wo!
I don't really have to go too far to clarify this as water quality across the globe varies so much that we may be talking about clean clear spring water from the Rocky Mountains compared to water from the tap in Denpasar Indonesia. No comparison. So the first thing necessary to do is to clear up the definition of what is good drinking water. Then it really is up to you to take what ever sports drink you are dinking and evaluate it as a separate item. Below I will give you a small table showing comparison of acidity levels of various sports drinks and you will then be more able to decide for yourself is water better than sports drinks. For your own health and the health of the ones you love depends to a greater degree what you and your family are putting into your mouths. The vital point here is that acidic means a desease environment. Alkaline means good health. So in selecting a high quality drinking water or more so what you will find to be an ultimate sports water, these two points are the key secrets. 1. The water should be as pure as possible. Pure H2O can be acheived through either distillation or through the use of a high quality reverse osmosis filter. 2. With the purest form of water available to you, your water needs to then be restructured so that it contains all of the essential minerals and trace elements. Ok! so is water better than sports drinks? There are many various ways that you can go about acheiving these two steps, but once you understand the importance of why these two steps are necessary and have experienced the effects of such water, you will never go back to drinking these highly acidic sprots drinks that fill our shop refrigerators and the like with bright colours and marketing slogans, you will begin to naturally stear yourself towards the clean clear bottles of water. Our body functions at an optimum level when it is hydrated with a high quality mineral water. With this you will have all of the electolytes that your body requires for extreme type sports and with a level that is slightly alkaline, you are building your internal health in the right direction. You will also be able to push harder and harder with your preparatory training and know with confidence that when the heat is on you are not going to konk out. Is water better than sports drinks? There are some good sports drinks on the market, but when you are able to manufacture your own high quality sports water anywhere across the globe, then you will obviously take responsibility for your own sports water. I call it The ultimate Drinking Water! You can call it what you like and make your own. I would love to hear of your success.
Warmly, Mike King
