    I need advice

    Do you drink special sports drinks? I do jogging and I often come across the fact that I need to replenish the supply of water and salts in the body. How do you deal with this?

    You don’t need that much sugar before you work- out. An energy drink serving can have up to 10 teaspoons of sugar (40 grams). Opt for a natural source of sugar and energy instead-have a banana or handful or grapes.
    The amount of caffeine in common energy drinks is 5 times the amount in a cup of coffee and 10 times the amount in a serving of soda.
    Pros and cons of drinking energy drinks

    Pros: None I can think of. I wish they didn’t even exist.

    Cons

    Dangerous when combined with alcohol or stimulants such as ADHD meds (Adderall, Ritalin)
    There is little scientific evidence that their “proprietary formulas” give someone a physical and/or mental edge.
    Anxiety
    Headaches
    Heart attacks, strokes
    8-11% of those who are caffeine dependent show signs of depression
    Seizures
    High blood pressure
    Diabetes
    No nutritional value-empty calories, takes place of nutrient dense foods
    Irritability
    The caffeine inhibits the activity of folate, B6 and B12
    It can cause death
    Nausea, diarrhea
    The acids in the drinks can lead to tooth destruction, damage enamel, cause stomach damage, osteoporosis and bone fractures
    If it contains artificial sugar: this can lead to overconsumption as your brain is waiting for the calories to come along with the sweet taste and leads you to crave more sugar.
    Premature aging
    Disrupts your gut flora (this alone is a major concern for mental, physical and immune health!)
    leads to low serotonin levels (mood issues, depression)
    Dehydration
    Reduces cortisol levels (which can cause weakness, fatigue, anxiety, heart palpitations, depression, unable to cope with stress)

    So as you can see, that energy drink to help you get through the day is not helping you but rather hurting you. Zero pros to drinking them, 21 cons to drinking them; the choice is yours.

    finally, caffeine related or based drinks are considered to be intoxicants, which have a negative effect on one's spiritual advancement and should therefore be avoided

    You're killing me mate, coffee and cola are the bomb Even so, I have cut down on them. Until last year it was at least one cup of coffee a day and one bottle of cola every two days, now it's one cup every now and then and one bottle per week tops. I like tea more at the moment. Cold water is also very good at keeping you awake and energetic.

    Well, that's a bit insane regardless of which level of spiritual advancement you're aiming for

    Idk I just get up every 30 minutes to have a walk and stretch cause sitting down all day is super unhealthy and then I take the opportunity to refill, which is ironic cause it's not so healthy

    That sounds more like a schedule/custom than a desire to "recharge". Maybe decaf could be an option?

    energy drinks ... coffee and cola ... tea ... decaf ... soft drinks ... alcohol
    none of these are needed for the daily maintenance of your body, therefore they are superfluous, in addition to being addictive, intoxicating, some of them loaded with industrial additives and thus generally unhealthy

    basically, of all the currently available varieties of drinks, you only need natural water & milk (not counting natural fruits & vegetables as sources of liquid) and guess what, these are also spiritually acceptable, so you get physical, psychological/mental & spiritual health covered, at least in terms of what you drink

    the additional CO2 shouldn't be a problem, although it may be a nuisance due to the bubbles

    Do you drink special sports drinks? I do jogging and I often come across the fact that I need to replenish the supply of water and salts in the body. How do you deal with this?
    it's a contradiction in your statement > sports drinks and I need to replenish the supply of water - to replenish the supply of water you just have to drink water - most of the COMMERCIALIZED sports/ fitness products are pure garbage either because the high concentration of sugar or chemicals ingredients - or both - i don't agree much with fitness supplements also - since most of them are just overpriced powder chemicals - that you can easy replace with natural products for example on protein : kaju nuts mixed with pumpkin seeds and ground = protein powder and about coffee - coffee is good as long is not mixed with sugar ( not after jogging ofcourse) plus it can be replacement in the morning also with - black tea - or to replace plain water drinking you can use green tea - coconut water - natural cherry juice or on happy hour 1 beer nonalcoholic

    Natural Pre-Workout Alternative #1 (My Favorite):
    50-200 mg caffeine (alertness mode)
    100g frozen strawberries (rich in fiber to avoid blood spikes)
    Greek Yogurt (rich in protein and decreases stomach issues)
    300 ml water (to digest and absorb the food easier)
    1 tbsp honey (steady release of glucose into the blood)
    1 tbsp of peanut butter (sustained release of energy)
    Natural Pre-Workout Alternative #2:
    Oatmeal
    300ml skimed milk
    2 whole eggs and 1 egg white
    1/2 banana
    Apple
    Raw honey
    Natural Pre-Workout Alternative #3:
    Tablespoon of almond butter
    Slice of Ezekiel bread with avocado
    Grapes
    Natural Pre-Workout Alternative #4:
    Powdered peanut butter
    Spinach
    Kale
    Almond milk
    These are just few examples of natural pre workouts you can make but I have plenty of other alternatives below for every taste.

    But before we do that, I wanted to touch some important takeaways and how the research was conducted.

    So here it is broken down step by step:

    Find the common ingredients used in the pre-workout supplements on the market
    Take them on a science research roadshow
    Read hundreds of studies
    Ditch the ones that are hype or have no benefits at all
    Keep the ones that actually work
    Find natural alternatives for each
    Test them personally and share the results
    Think about it for a second, the supplement manufacturers have squeezed every single ingredient on the planet that can be associated with aerobic exercise.

    With that in mind, by conducting my research, I’ve come to these findings (and I have science-based facts to back up all the statements):

    #1 Pre-workout Supplements that are overrated, unnecessary, or have close to zero effects:
    BCCAs (Marketing Hype, your body is full of BCCAs)
    Maltodextrin (Complex Sugars)
    Dextrose (Simple Sugars)
    B Vitamin (Does not help as pre-workout)
    L-Tyrosine (promoted as adrenaline and dopamine booster but the science says: No!)
    #2 Pre-workout Supplements that are controversial, or have conflicting data and science:
    L-Arginine (converts to Nitric Oxide but oral supplementation doesn’t help)
    Betaine (unreliable results, only a slight increase in workout performance)
    Taurine (not enough research)
    Beta Alanine (unreliable results, only a slight increase in workout performance)
    #3 Pre-workout Supplements no doubt have an impact:
    Proteins Powders~30 to 40 grams (muscle building blocks)
    Carbs – glucose (blood sugar) ~30 to 40 grams
    Caffeine (energy booster) ~50-200 mg
    Theanine (positively regulates nitric oxide) ~200 mg
    Creatine (our body produces it on its own but sometimes not enough) ~5gr
    L-Citrulline (skyrockets Nitric Oxide) ~8 gr
    Long story short, I decided to include all the natural alternatives to the most common pre-workout supplements, even for the most skeptical guys and gals.

    That said let’s take another look at my favorite all natural pre-workout shake and find an alternative to each item below:

    snapshot of my fav pwo list



    ALTERNATIVES TO #1 (CAFFEINE):
    Green Tea
    Licorice Tea
    Ginseng
    Organic Dandy Blend
    ALTERNATIVES TO #2 (STRAWBERRIES):
    Apple
    Banana
    Oranges
    Dried Fruit
    ALTERNATIVES TO #3 (GREEK YOGURT):
    Any protein-rich food:
    Chicken
    Turkey
    Eggs
    Tuna
    ALTERNATIVES TO #4 (WATER):
    Milk
    Cold Tea
    ALTERNATIVES TO #5 (HONEY):
    Nothing beats honey 🙂
    ALTERNATIVES TO #6 (PEANUT BUTTER):
    Almond Butter
    Sesame Butter
    Bottom line it all comes to this:

    Protein-rich food of your choice (preferably easy to digest, like greek yogurt)
    Carbohydrates (simple carbs 15 minutes prior to workout, or complex carbs 1 hour prior)
    Caffeine (cup of coffee, pills) or Caffeinated Peanut Butter (Green Tea as alternative)
    Creatine rich food (beef, red meat, seafood) during the day or the night before
    Beta-alanine (Nope)
    L-Arginine (No way!)
    Betaine (Nope)
    L-Tyrosine (Hype)
    Taurine (error 404 not enough science data)
    BCCAs (big No-No)

    To be honest, I don’t drink almost any sports drinks. I don’t drink energy, I don’t like the taste of any of them, moreover, these are excess carbohydrates in my diet. I drink plain water or herbal tea.

    If you train more than a hour, I recommend a isotonic drink or sweetened drink
