Banana Potentially Replace Energy Drink

Eating a banana can provide a comparable or more efficacy than an energy drink. Especially, for athletes who need carbohydrate intake to refill energy and accelerate the recovery of stamina.

For decades, athletes and coaches believe that carbohydrate consumption is very important during sports. Carbohydrates become an important fuel for muscles, reducing physiological stress, and preventing the risk of inflammation.

The most easily digestible form of carbohydrates is sugar, either glucose, fructose, or sucrose. Many athletes use energy drinks but are deemed necessary to be limited because they are unnatural and contain certain flavors and chemicals.

Researchers at the North Carolina Research Campus of Appalachian State University in Kannapolis, recommend fruits as a healthier alternative. One of them is a banana that provides anti-inflammatory benefits.
