Some television ads for the popular sports drink Gatorade got the wheels of my mind spinning. The focus of the campaign is on “sweat” and how the body produces sweat during physical activities; and how much sweat comes out in the gymnasium. Commercials claim that no other drink than Gatorade can return to the body that is lost in sweat; neither water nor anything. When I was a kid a basketball coach told me that sweat and urine were basically the same, I immediately wondered: is Gatorade diluted urine? Or is it spread by sweat?
Let’s start with the flow of sweat versus urine first. Urine is a liquid secreted to excrement molecules collected from the blood by the kidney and helps to maintain the conditions inside the body in a state of regular stability. Sweat or sweat is secreted from sweat glands and when it evaporates from the skin, it works to cool the body. . There are two types of sweat glands and not all sweat is produced only at cool temperatures. Physicists seem to be debating the use of another type of sweat with many based on the theory that it is a pheromone to attract members of the opposite sex. Apparently the Gatorade commercials refer to body temperature regulating sweat, as a kind of comparison with urine. Urine itself is made up of many elements, which I have to list and differ on a person-by-person basis. Sweat, on the other hand, is mainly composed of water and various salt compounds. However, sweat has other substances inside, usually guess in the medium to compose 1% sweat, such as NaCl, Vitamin C, uric acid , urea, ammonia and lactic acid. For in the same way that all urine fluctuates from man to man. Looking at the sweat ingredients, you’ll notice 1% “urea.” Yep, urea is a great diuretic, which is also useful in plants. Urine and sweat, then, indeed share the same things in various degrees.
Gatorade was created as a drink at the University of Florida in 1965 to help football. It is thought that certain elements lost from the body through the sweat process need to be replenished and therefore hydrate the body better, keeping the sweat cool and therefore boosting the overall performance of the athlete; since they will be in their greatest state of comfort and service. The elements lost in sweat are sometimes referred to as electrolytes and it was a study of sweat that helped to develop a drink. What is this in the context of my curiosity?
If the ingredients of Gatorade are to be interpreted in the most basic sense, the product tries to restore what you lose through sweat; which contains the speculative part of things. Therefore, Gatorade drink is indeed a sweat drink in the main sense. I don’t know about you, but my sweat probably doesn’t have an artificial flavor.
The main ingredients of a bottle of Gatorade are: water, sucrose syrup, high fructose syrup (glucose-fructose syrup), citric acid. , natural flavors, salt, sodium citrate, monopotassium phosphate, yellow 6, glycerol niensis wood resin, brominated vegetable oil, red 40.
I don’t see a common urea ingredient, and it’s a pretty good guess that I don’t actually sweat the bottles. So, although Gatorade may seem like a sweat drink and is intended to replenish what sweat removes, it seems quite a different chemical that you don’t drink urine. Also, if you were thick, calling Gatorade a drinkable sweat, see that the main element of both is water, just as it is the most important of all other things, you drink or drink in life, and therefore the same can be said about. anything and everything. In addition to having worked in the food industry before, I can tell you that I ate urine and sweat every day. whether you have commanded
