This was sent to me by a Nutritionist regarding sports drinks. This was in regards to long distance events.
The primary function of a hydrating beverage is to preserve and retain water in the body. There is strong evidence that a cold, flavored sport drink of suitable composition encourages drinking making it a highly effective way to prevent dehydration.. Homemade sports drinks, if mixed properly, can provide the same benefits as the commercial versions. However, it can be difficult to replicate your favorite store bought varieties.
You must include the proper concentration of the carbohydrate as well as sufficient sodium to actively work with the carbohydrate to provide quick re-hydration.
Considering this, it is imperative that the ingredients are measured accurately as not to hinder rather than heighten performance.
The carbohydrate concentration should be in the range of 4-8 percent. That is 40g-80g carbohydrate per liter of water. A concentration of over 8 percent will interfere with re-hydration.
Sodium levels should range from 20-30mmol, that is 1g-2g of table salt per liter of water.
Any flavor added should not take away from the carbohydrate level of 8 percent.
Adding 3 Tbsp of corn syrup to a 750 ml bottle of water is a great way to re-hydrate your body. Also, try one of these great recipes for an effective sports drink at home for little cost.

Yesterday was the 14th Annual World of Wheels Car show in Peachland. The weather overnight was poor but the days weather turned out quite nicely and the show was able to go on. Overall 405 cars entered in the car show many of which were classic cars, some modern cars and a handful of antique cars. For the town of Peachland, the event is a very big one and is very helpful to the local economy as several thousand people swarm into the town for the festivities.
Parking for the event is a big problem and is something that they will always will have issues with especially considering where it is located. Located on the beach with very minimal parking, we had to walk almost a kilometer from our car, our spot being very dubious on a muddy looking landfill area (God bless 4wd) but if you look on the positive side, the walk is along the beach and is quite enjoyable. Even with the parking issues, the event was very nice, with food vendors and live music, nice cars, nice weather and lovely location, what more could you ask for?
I have just added some new photos to my “Australian Flickr Photostream” from my trip to Australia. I have picked out my favorites, what do you think?
I have included a Sunset Photo from Albury, NSW as i totally love sunsets. I was luckily able to capture this image using just a Kodak Point and shoot camera and it turned out really well. Also included are photos from the Great Ocean Road Coastline in Victoria. In all i added 16 photos.
It’s amazing how life changes but still things stay the same. Having arrived home after being away for just little over a year, i entered my bedroom for which i spent a great part of my life of the last four years. It was strange how over the last year, i have changed, life has changed and yet walking back into that room brings with it a feeling that nothing has changed. It was still the same room. I have changed in ways that i would never have imagined. I have matured in many ways, becoming who i am right now. I now hold more independence then i ever have before, working at a job that i like doing, living in a house that i like and must keep operational. These things in my life have changed me for the better, yet the basics of my life haven’t changed.
My family still lives here and that hasn’t changed. Dad is still his usual loving, overly-caring self, as is Mum. Being back home reminds me how much i love them and that i did truly miss them over the year but this is my life, i also love my life and wouldn’t have changed anything over the last year.
My Bike sat in the corner of my room, looking lovely in its blue shiny paint. This bike is one of my prized possessions, the only new bike i have ever owned that Santa hasn’t brought me. I remember that bike and when i looked at that bike, it brought back the joy of the first day i bought it and my first ride on it and how much i love a good bike ride. That hasn’t changed. Not one bit. Hopefully the bike arrives safely in Canada with me and there can be plenty more lovely bike rides to be had with me and my blue Avanti Stallion.
Life has changed dramatically for me in the last year. I’ve gone from feeling that my future looked solemn and useless to now feeling that i could live this life forever. I have a girlfriend that i love dearly and a cat that adores me and i adore him, occasionally. I have job that i like doing, that provides me with some financial security and the simple luxuries of my life. I also live in a house that i feel happy to call home, where i can get lost in the mountains, where no one knows my name, where i can be myself , yet i’m so close to the city and lake that i can make my life as busy as much as i want.
Livestrong.
Living where i Live, i have a whole assortment of wild life that take up residence near my house. In particular there is a family of Four Deer that i often see hanging around. These photos were snapped from my Living Room using a 55mm Lens. I'm thinking of adding a 300mm lens to my set to get some nicer wildlife shots.
