July 30th 2010
Research has found that swishing your carb drink in your mouth triggers a boost in performance and energy. This boost occurs even if the person does not swallow the drink. Researchers began to study how fast the absorption rate occurs after consuming a carb beverage during exercise. studies have shown over time that the body is unable to process carb drinks fast enough to provide the quick boost of energy from consumption.
These researchers believe the brain cue the body that carbs are on the imminent, which prompts the body that it is ok to begin working harder. It does not seem to matter if the drink is sweet or not just the presence of carbs seem to be enough to provide an extra boost. Although swishing does provide an energy pick up, exercisers perform better when they consume calories during exercise.
