Sports drinks exposed as BOGUS liquids that contradict effective workouts

Do you think you’re doing your body good by following a workout with your favorite sports drink? Think again. Though drinks like Gatorade and Powerade seem to promote the replacement of electrolytes and improved athletic performance, there is real science that has shown that these drinks are far from what your body needs to heal after a workout. In reality, when you drink a sugary “sports” drink after exercise you are really adding back all the calories your body burned off during your routine. These drinks are chock full of refined sugar and only end up polluting your body.

Here comes the painstaking truth about most sports beverages – it’s time to take the “die” out of your diet

Experts at the American Chemical Society have revealed that a healthy, nutritious diet is enough to replenish the electrolytes we expend while exercising. What your body really needs to drink after a workout is clean spring water or water that is free from sodium fluoride and artificial sweeteners. Unless you’re a serious cross-trainer, marathon runner, or triathlete, you’re probably not in “need” of those advertised sports drinks. And, let’s face it, even those athletes know better than to consume them regularly.

Simple water is mighty capable of replacing the electrolytes lost from sweating, and it will keep you hydrated. However, it is important to remember, U.S. tap water is usually contaminated with heavy metal toxins, other people’s medications, artificial sweeteners, toilet paper residue, and IQ-lowering sodium fluoride (no, it’s not good for your teeth either). Your best option, if you want to avoid wasting money on bottled water, is to purchase a home water filter such as the Big Berkey.

The Big Berkey uses a revolutionary ceramic (gravity) filtration technology to remove parasites, bacteria and other toxic elements from water without the need for electricity or pumps. It’s great for camping and traveling too, when you might be hiking trails, climbing to mountain tops, cycling, swimming, or hitting the hotel gym. If you’d rather have a healthy drink that has flavor, add some citrus fruit to your water or go buy some organic coconut water and you’ll also be loading up on some extra potassium.

Check your sports drink for toxic corn syrup, flame retardants, industrial food dyes and loads of calories

Experiencing memory loss, nerve disorders, unexplainable weight gain, bromine poisoning or skin lesions? It could be your addiction to sports drinks. Gatorade (a Pepsi-owned product) recently pulled BVO (brominated vegetable oil) out of their popular sports drink because it also serves as a flame retardant chemical that causes horrific health detriment.

And, guess what? All those electrolytes that Gatorade claims are supposed to help replenish your supply are fake. The potassium content is only one percent per serving, so if you want to get your daily recommended dose of potassium from the ever-popular sugar water, you’ll need to drink over 30 bottles a day. Plus, if it’s one of those “low calorie” Gatorades (like G2), watch out for artificial sweeteners that are lab-concocted chemicals known to be carcinogenic (sucralose is a chlorinated hydrocarbon that doubles as an insecticide). There aren’t any real fruits in the fruit punch flavor either, so don’t be fooled there either.

Another popular sports drink is Powerade, which also contains brominated vegetable oil, genetically modified corn sugar listed as fructose, and a toxic dye known as Red 40. Then there’s Powerade Zero, which brags about no sugar and no calories. But who in their right mind wants to drink chemically-altered ingredients that are more harmful to your health than helpful? Powerade Zero contains two toxic artificial sweeteners–acesulfame and sucralose.

If you’re suffering from weight gain, irritable bowels or even cancer, you may be suffering from Artificial Sweetener Disease. Maybe you should start questioning the products you’re consuming that are also advertised on television and in magazines religiously. Chances are that the corporations that make those products are heavily vested in your health demise, not your healthy life. It’s called chronic sick care, and it’s the polar opposite of longevity.
