If something characterizes this sport is its social nature, the ability to play four people and, therefore, to celebrate afterwards with a cool rod to comment on the plays, the points, the failures. It is without a doubt a great way to share the game, to expand it, to strengthen the links.
Padel World Press .- One more week, the companions of the Blog of Pádel Our offer us an interesting article, in which they speak to us of two elements that can form a good combination ... Always that they ally with total responsibility !!
Although it is a low-grade drink, and although it also helps physical recovery, it should not be forgotten that it is an alcoholic beverage, so its consumption should be moderate ... Or resort to the option of the increasingly common alcohol-free beer.
It promotes hydration
Among the benefits of beer is its enormous moisturizing power, since more than 98% of its composition is water. It is no secret that when we finished a game we lost a lot of water and we need to recover it quickly.
The beer is fermented with different alcohol contents, flavored with hops flowers and composed of water. Some of the studies that have shown that beer can be an excellent source of hydration was done by researchers Desbrow, Murray and Leveritt who, in 2013, published an article about the usefulness of beer to replenish liquids after exercise.
Two years before, another study presented in Brussels at the VI European Symposium on Beer and Health found that moderate consumption of this beverage after practicing physical exercise was as effective for rehydration as water.
Beer also helps to recover minerals lost during the effort because it has important vitamins such as A, D and E and essential amino acids. But not only that: its high sodium content favors intestinal transit.
What about the Calories it is a myth. It does not take so many. Approximately 45kcal for each 100 ml. Less than a juice. Many nutritionists agree that what is fattening is not the beer but the tapas that accompany it. A study prepared by the British Beer Alliance banishes the myth of the calories in beer and confirms that the drink has a very small amount of sugar and that it has hardly any fat.
Beer also favors the appearance of the famous shoelaces, which always leave us a few days annoying because it contains polyphenols, which are natural antioxidants that fight free radicals and are high in carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Therefore, beer is good for recovering muscles or symptoms of fatigue.
When is the best time to drink it: before or after the game?
Most agree that it is best to take it after the game because several objectives are covered. On the one hand, hydration is accelerated and it is favored that the body recovers before.
In addition, after the meeting you can comment on the best moves, the mistakes, the successes, the mistakes, the anecdotes, talk about our new paddle blade and everything that the shock has given of itself.
In summary… And always defending its responsible consumption, the beer in the paddle:
- It is an ideal drink for recovery after a great physical effort such as a padel match, thanks to its components and its low alcohol content.
- It contains antioxidants, making it a diuretic drink because of its high content of potassium and low sodium.
- Its intake is recommended after the game, not before.
- Helps to avoid stiffness
