The water of Sorgente Tesorino is particularly suitable for athletes.
Since it is a sulfate-alkaline-earth medium mineral water, it allows you to replenish the salts lost during exercise, such as chloride and sodium, and in particular to restore the correct levels of calcium and magnesium. In addition, its high concentration of carbonates is very useful in eliminating the lactic acid that accumulates in the muscles during exercise.
Mineral salts and especially calcium, magnesium, potassium, chloride and sodium play a central role in physical activity and their effects are closely related
Sodium, chloride, potassium
They work in balance with each other to maintain the body's hydro-salt balance, meaning they regulate the inflow and outflow of fluids and thus also help maintain blood pressure. They are involved in the regulation of all cell functions and in particular in the contractility of skeletal and cardiac muscles as well as in the transmission of nerve impulses.
The action of bicarbonate is also very important as it can facilitate the elimination of lactic acid that accumulates in the muscles during physical activity. Lactic acid is produced by the muscles during physical activities of varying intensity in terms of speed or muscle strength, in which the oxygen reaching the muscles is not enough to meet their temporary needs and therefore they take a production route
different energy leading to the accumulation of lactic acid.
This accumulation is responsible for cramps, pain and muscle burning, which is why athletes try to improve resistance mechanisms and tolerance to this substance. The spring water of Tesorino is rich in bicarbonate and is suitable both during and after physical activity to cushion the acidity caused by lactic acid and before to replenish bicarbonate and thus increase muscle resistance. Replenishing salts and fluids during and after exercise is therefore a fundamental step in recovering from physical and mental fatigue and supporting athletic performance.
The waters suitable for sports are those rich in mineral salts. The Sorgente-Tesorino water is a medium-mineral sulfate-alkaline-earth-hydrogen that perfectly responds to the needs of the athlete and provides the right amounts of calcium, magnesium, chloride. potassium and bicarbonate. Hydration during exercise is closely related to physical fitness, type of activity and climatic conditions. However, the general rule is to drink small amounts often: taking 200–250 ml of Tesorino water or a rich water can prevent the irritation thirst, which indicates that the body is starting to dehydrate, giving the stomach time to to empty easily and to compensate for the loss of fluids and mineral salts.
However, the consumption of specific nutritional supplements is indicated only in extreme and prolonged activities (over 90 minutes), where the loss of salts, fluids and energy is more massive and requires supplementation with ad hoc substances with hyperconcentrated salts, maltodextrins and others Carbohydrates and amino acids.
In all other cases, medium mineral water represents the simplest and most natural alternative to immediately replenish lost electrolytes and fluids.
