THE IMPACT OF ISOTONIK WATER

Having tired after exercising or doing daily activities, surely the body feels tired. This is because at the time of exercising, or doing strenuous activities, we lost a lot of fluid, body fluids are lost in the form of ions in the body. When sweating, our bodies release a number of important minerals the body needs, such as sodium (Na) and chloride (CI), through skin pores. Body fluids plays an important role in metabolism, including transport and absorb the nutrients in the blood, helps the digestive process and keeping the body temperature. In order for our bodies refreshed, the needs of the ions in the body must be satisfied again, most people now drink an isotonic drink containing electrolytes namely, to restore the body ions are missing.

An isotonic beverage ads on television say, ions in the isotonic able to keep the skin moist and your body better than ordinary water. Another ad says, losing two percent of body fluids will decrease your stamina and concentration. Isotonic drinks continue to do harmful to body?

 Today, many isotonic drinks on the market with different brands. Many people are tempted to eat because of the benefits that reportedly can replace body fluids and electrolytes lost due to inactivity. Activity was not described in detail, whether the activity is not unusual exertion or strenuous activity which would release much body fluid.

It is true, isotonic drinks can change their body fluids because it is designed with the same osmotic pressure with the body's blood pressure. However, if you drink an isotonic drink in a normal condition or when the weight of inactivity, the body does not need electrolyte substances and mineral content. Drinks will be wasted. Lecturer at the Department of Food Science and Technology, Bogor Agricultural University, Frances Rungkat Zakaria, said the advertising of products isotonic partly misleading the public. In the ad, as if to drink isotonic anyone and in any condition.

Now i will tell you the positive impact of isotonic water.Isotonic Drink Ingredients and Benefits isotonic composition of 98 percent water. Two percent of sodium ions Chloride, Potassium Phosphate, Magnesium Citrate, and Calcium Lactate. The function of these ions can replace electrolytes lost body. Thus, the most distinctive properties of isotonic drinks are able to immediately replace lost body fluids. This drink is also said to cure dengue fever and typhus.

This drink is also well taken when experiencing dehydration or diarrhea. Arguably similar functions with ORS. Not only that, isotonic drinks are also considered efficacious in the healing process of canker sores. Compositions contained in an isotonic beverage is actually the same as those contained in intravenous fluids. Intravenous fluids used in the medical world as an intake for patients who are dehydrated or difficulty eating food orally (by mouth).

Beside the positive side,isotonic water also have negative impact.Beware of isotonic drinks. Did not rule out such drinks contain preservatives Kombet study supervised by the Institute for Research Education and Information (LP3ES) Jakarta conducted in three laboratories. Sucofindo namely in Jakarta, Bogor M-Brio, and Bio-Formaka Bogor. There are two preservatives are sought in beverage packaging, ie, sodium benzoate and potassium sorbet. Preservatives in beverage packaging is very dangerous. With the addition of preservatives, the beverage products are expected preserved freshness. The impact of preservatives would be fatal to the body. One of them can cause disease systemic lupus ery-the-matosus (SLE), a disease that attacks the immune system. Another impact of preservatives in bottled beverages is cancer. In a literature mentioned that when consumed in excess, can arise side effects such as edema (swelling) that may occur because of retention or fluid retention in the body. It could also rise in blood pressure as a result of increased plasma volume due to binding of water by sodium. Can not consume isotonic drinks arbitrary because it contains sodium salt (NaCl). The content of the isotonic beverage is an electrolyte (Na +, K +, Ca2 +, Mg2 +, Cl-), whereas the sugar content low enough for only 6% -7% per 100 ml of it (mean = about 26 kcal / 100 mL, the needs of people adult = approximately 2100 kcal / day). The composition of isotonic 98 percent of the water. Two percent of sodium ions Chloride, Potassium Phosphate, Magnesium Citrate, and Calcium Lactate. The function of these ions can replace electrolytes lost body.

I think isotonic water is good for our body after doing sport,but we must remain that consumed isotonic water to much is bad for our health.
