Generally speaking, energy drinks contain taurine, caffeine, B vitamins, carbon dioxide, sugar, sodium citrate, edible spices and other ingredients. Taurine is contained in most energy drinks. Taurine, also known as aminoethanesulfonic acid, is one of the nutrients needed by the body. Taurine plays an important role in maintaining the operation and development of the brain, which can not only accelerate the proliferation and elongation of neurons, but also inhibit nerves and protect the brain from oxide damage.
Experts say that athletes who carry out high-intensity sports such as marathon should drink sports drinks. If they exercise for less than 2 hours, they don't need to drink sports drinks at all. It is enough for ordinary fitness enthusiasts to replenish water in time to prevent dehydration. On the contrary, drinking sports drinks too much calories will affect the fitness effect.
Sports drinks are not only water, but also contain nutrients and energy supplements. So it has something to do with the amount of exercise we do, and the physical consumption. If you don't do much exercise, drinking sports drinks often means supplementing nutrition and calories too much, then the calories consumed by your previous exercise are equivalent to making up for it again, that is, you exercise for nothing.
