Why sweat drains you... but not like you think

People often think that sweat is just salt water. Not true.
It's a biochemical cocktail cocktail... except you lose it without drinking it.

And if you don't intelligently reconstitute what you eliminateyou're heading straight for fatigue, cramps and poor performance.

 

 

🧪 What's in your sweat (spoiler: it's not all water)

In 1 liter of sweat, you lose on average :

• 900 mg sodium

• 200-300 mg potassium

• 30-50 mg magnesium

• And a little zinc, calcium and other micronutrients

 

"The composition of human sweat shows a significant loss of sodium and potassium that can lead to muscle failure without adequate replacement." Maughan RJ et al., Journal of Sports Sciences, 2004

 

Water does not replace minerals. It dilutes them.

You're thirsty → you drink water → you feel even muddier.
Normal. You've just diluted what electrolytes of electrolytes in your body.

 

It's like filling an aquarium... without putting the fish back in.

 

"Water-only rehydration may aggravate electrolyte imbalances after significant sweat loss." Shirreffs SM et al., British Journal of Nutrition, 2007

 

What about sweetened drinks?

They often :

• Too little sodium

• Too much glucose

• A glycemic index that causes a peak → fall → fatigue

 

Basically, you go from "I'm drained" to "I'm drained and I have a sugar crash". So there's no point in focusing your attention on products that contain sugar.
