Kruger mixed some sports drink for his partner who became deathly ill
from it st the start of a trip around SA? I regret not knowing Kruger,
rumor perhaps untrue is that he found this amusing which did not
improve the situation
Before starting a trip around SA.
I suffered one - rose hips: cramps farting...thanks mom! Good idea.
A problem with the DIY sports drink beyond the Logan Bread which is
good and sure tastes better than banana nut gach, finding glucose in a
food form at less than 55 gallon drum quantities.
Fructose, sucrose galactose from AVAGADRO IV but not the stuff energy
foods people claim to mix into the food for the 'actual' energy
production part of it: glucose.
The body, mine anyway, takes food breaks it down and eventually feeds
glucose into the energy mechanism. That's what CHO does to your liver.
CHO forces the liver to yield its glucose into the bloodstream.
The energy food or drink skips the digestion and gives you the basic
glucoses without the effort of digesting.
Read the Cliff and Power bar ingredients like niacin, thiamin,
CAFFEINE...and using the internet figure out what each does energywise.
Those 'chemicals' - remembering that chemicals may not be good for
you- are available at the health food store in one form or another
like rose hips,
Do you know the formula (h-c-c-c-c-c-o) and how the stuff produces
energy?
That would help understanding the problem.
iced water with a freshly crushed lemon and a pinch of sugar-pinch-is
refreshing.
