If your body is accustomed to healthy, organic food, then most regular sports drinks will likely be a shock to your system. It’s much better to make your own by combining organic coconut water with organic lemons and oranges for a sports drink with no added chemicals.
One danger typically hiding in normal sports drinks is a large amount of sugar that overwhelms the pancreas and inhibits the production of the insulin needed to transport blood sugar into the body where it is used to give you energy. When the pancreas is overworked from too much sugar, type-2 diabetes may occur.
Alternatively, when unhealthy sweeteners such as aspartame and sucralose are used in the place of sugar, this can lead to damaging your intestines and a variety of serious illnesses.
The solution is a healthy, homemade sports drink with naturally sweet coconut water, lemon juice, orange juice and optional stevia to sweeten even more.
