Why Do Athletes Need Sugar?

When athletes are working out, the body has to bump the blood round the body faster to make sure all the muscles have all the blood and oxygen they need. the more blood our body pumps the hotter we get, and the body makes us sweat to cool down.

When athletes sweat, they are losing something call electrolytes. Electrolytes are essential minerals in the body that help regulate hydration. Electrolytes can be replaced by consuming sugar. Some athletes choose to drink sports drinks, they are high in sugar and can replace electrolytes very quickly, however, they are often full of harmful chemicals, additives and food colourings that aren’t good for you.

This is why some athletes have taken to consuming more natural sugar foods and drinks. The Jelly Bean Factory jelly beans are made from all natural ingredients and are free from any E-numbers and additives. A Jelly Bean Factory jelly bean is the perfect way to get that amazing boost of sugar whilst refraining from any harmful substances and getting an huge flavour explosion as well!
