| Avoiding exertional overacidification |
|
Sport and exercise are healthy and increase ones general well being. The cardiovascular system is strengthened and the physical capabilities and immune defences are improved. Particularly endurance sports like running, Nordic walking, hiking, aerobics and cycling are ideal if one is seeking to relieve the stressful routine of everyday life. Preventing exertional over-acidificationSports enthusiasts should always link their diet to sporting activity. For endurance sports, an adequate supply of fluid and minerals is important to keep up performance and to prevent an exertional overacidification due to the lost of fluids and minerals though perspiration Keeping up performanceThe basic mineral drink, Basica® Sport, can effectively correct an exertional overacidification. Basic minerals support acid reduction during and after sporting activity. Performance is maintained and the regeneration after excertion is accelerated. 
Hypotonic- better than isotonicDue to perspiring during sport activities the body loses fluids and electrolytes. Even with a 2% fluids loss, performance is reduced up to 20%. In contrast to mineral water, fruit juices or isotonic sports drinks, the fluid uptake is accelerated with hypotonic drinks. Fluid absorption is virtually „sucked“ into the bloodstream. The reason is that hypotonic drinks have a lower concentration of dissolved particles than the blood and are more quickly absorbed in the body due to „less resistance“. Basica Sport is hypotonic and supports a quick fluid and electrolyte balance. So you stay more fit and have more fun in sporting activities. Direct energy supplyA direct energy supply is as important as a quick replacement of the fluids. The combination of a high proportion of maltodextrin and low proportion of sucrose in Basica® Sport provides for the optimal supply of energy during sporting activities. Sucrose (disaccharide from glucose and fructose) is rapidly absorbed and is quickly available to the muscles. Maltodextrin (cross-linked glucose) is more slowly absorbed and ensures a continuous supply of energy without blood sugar peaks. Basica® Sport supplies L-Carnitine additionally. L-Carnitine plays an important role in the transport of fatty acids in the cells and is therefore involved in the energy production from fats.
Replenish your fluids and electrolyte reserves with 0.5 litre of Basica Sport before sport activity. Drink continuously while sporting. So you keep fit longer and not feel so exhausted afterwards.

Increased acids are formed via increased metabolism during sport. This is why a so called “exertional over-acidification” can develop. The consequences are reduced performance, muscle cramps and tensions where the risk of injury could increase. To compensate exertional over-acidification the body needs basic organic minerals and trace element compounds.
