sports beverages

Sports beverages are specially formulated drinks designed to help athletes stay hydrated, replenish lost electrolytes (like sodium, potassium, and magnesium), and provide quick energy through carbohydrates. They are typically consumed during or after physical activity to maintain performance and aid recovery. Unlike regular sports drinks, some may be tailored for specific needs such as endurance or muscle recovery. These beverages can be beneficial for people engaging in sustained or intense exercise, but for casual activity or rest, water usually suffices. Proper hydration and electrolyte balance are key to maintaining energy and preventing dehydration during physical exertion.
