Can you quench your thirst after exercising?

Feeling hot after exercise, some people would like to drink some beer, thinking that it can not only give the body antipyretic, but also give the body to add sugar and moisture. Is this really the case?

It seems that cool beer, especially chilled beer, does have a cool sensation at the entrance, but after a bottle or a drink is heard, it will make people feel dry, phlegm and body heat. Because beer, after all, also contains alcohol, although the beer's alcohol content is small, but the accumulation of less, the amount of alcohol into the body is more considerable. After exercise, the body sweats more, consumes more, and is prone to fatigue. If you continue to drink beer, the thermal sensation caused by alcohol will continue to fall short of giving you antipyretic purposes.

A bottle of 360 ml of beer can provide 16 grams of sugar, which is about 5.6 grams less than the sugar content of a bottle of 6% sugar-containing sports drinks of the same capacity. More importantly, the main source of heat in beer is alcohol rather than sugar. Despite the rapid absorption, the energy in alcohol is only metabolized in the liver and not in the muscles. Therefore, beer does not supplement the energy consumed by muscle work. On the other hand, alcohol in beer stimulates the kidneys to produce urine, accelerating the loss of water in the body and aggravating dehydration. Studies have shown that within 4 hours after drinking beer, the body can lose 3% of body weight due to moisture loss. If you drink beer immediately after exercise, especially after a large amount of exercise, you may increase the dehydration phenomenon after exercise, which is extremely detrimental to health.
