Sugar Free Sports Drinks

Is there anything good about sugar? Many health experts would say no. However lots of people would say that the sweet taste is definitely a benefit. Some people cannot have any sugar in their diet because they have diabetes or are on a low carb diet. Sugar can cause severe swings in blood sugar, weight gain, and even mood instability. For these reasons and more, some people cut sugar from their diets completely. There are many foods and beverages, such as sugar free sports drinks, that taste great yet contain no sugar.

If you would like to make your own sugarless sports drink, try the following recipe:

1 package of sugar free drink mix in flavor of your choice
1/8 tsp salt
3 potassium tablets
2 quarts filtered water

Heat about a quarter-cup of your water in the microwave until almost boiling. Add potassium tablets and salt to the hot water to dissolve. Next, pour the drink mix in a container and add the rest of your water. Then, add the hot water with the potassium and salt in it. Stir until well mixed and chill until ready to drink.

Of course, you may want to buy a ready-made sports drink rather than making your own. In that case there are a variety of brands in stores and online that you may want to try. One is XS Sports Drink which comes in various flavors including Clearly Orange. Another popular type of sports drink is Ultima Replenisher which is also sugar free and comes in a variety of refreshing flavors. If you cannot find these drinks in stores they can be purchased online. There are stores that sell all kinds of sugarless foods and beverages including sports drinks and energy drinks.

When exercising, hydration is very important. You should make sure you are properly hydrated before, during and after your workout. Some experts recommend sports drinks rather than water for athletes who perspire a lot. Sugar free sports drinks give you the benefits without the drawbacks of sugar consumption. You will be replacing the water and potassium lost when you sweat but you will not get the ups and downs of sugar intake. Avoiding sugar is especially important for diabetics. In addition to sports drinks, you can find sugar free tea, soft drinks and much more.
