Sports Drink Myth:

Sports drinks are just a con and are not good for you

  • Sports drinks are designed for athletes who sweat. They replace electrolytes, fluid and carbohydrate to aid in recovery.
  • However; for no athletes, sports drinks are no good - they just add unnecessary calories to the diet
