Sports drinks have changed the way athletes train and can get the best out of their daily exercise routine. These drinks are designed to include copious amounts of hydrators that instantly infuse our tired cells with key nutrients that are required for the optimal working of our inner metabolic system.
When this happens, our bodies are able to produce energy in a more systematic fashion (thereby allowing for increased performance). Other than that, they also contain key salts that are lost by our bodies whenever we sweat or train hard. These salts help increase the efficiency rate of our bodies, and are needed for the optimal working of our inner pathways.
About Lucozade
Lucozade is essentially an ‘umbrella name’ that is used for a series of energy sports drinks that have been used by athletes, workout enthusiasts and professional trainers for over half a century. The origins of the company can be traced back to 1927, when the efforts of Newcastle based chemist, William Owen resulted in the creation of an ‘energy drink’ that was found to help people who were sick with various common illnesses. While initially referred to as ‘Glucozade’, the brand reworked its image and called its sport drinks Lucozade by the year 1929.
