Carbs aren&#8217;t the devil<\/h3>\n<p>Carbohydrates get a bad rep these days, but they aren&#8217;t all bad.<\/p>\n<p>Carbs = energy, so you do need to measure what you&#8217;re putting into your body, (when you have an excess intake of carbs, it will get stored as fat), but if you&#8217;re highly active, you&#8217;ll need carbohydrates for energy to fuel your body.<\/p>\n<p>Just make sure it&#8217;s the right amount and the right type of carbs.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"iframe-wrap\">\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/l3q2HguwuSZuHtYfC\" width=\"480\" height=\"349\" frameborder=\"0\" class=\"giphy-embed\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/nicksports-nfl-houston-texans-l3q2HguwuSZuHtYfC\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>2. Different athletes lose different amounts of water when exercising<\/h3>\n<p>It seems obvious, but it&#8217;s even more dramatic than you&#8217;d expect &#8211; the Gatorade Sports Science Institute runs tests on athletes during their performance, and found that some can lose a full litre of sweat per hour while exercising, while others doing the same activity lose less than half that amount.<\/p>\n<p>So find what works for you.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"iframe-wrap\">\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/4GWgN2Z9585M6KucpA\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" frameborder=\"0\" class=\"giphy-embed\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/nba-summer-player-bench-4GWgN2Z9585M6KucpA\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-adunit c-adunit--mpu_mid\">\n<div id=\"mpu_mid\" class=\"c-adunit__container\"> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>3. For every pound of weight you lose during activity in water, you need to drink three cups of fluids to hydrate<\/h3>\n<p>You&#8217;d be surprised how much fluid you can lose during sport &#8211; but it&#8217;s important that you keep your body hydrated, to maintain optimum function.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth weighing yourself before and after a workout to see just how much fluid you lose, and then you&#8217;ll know how much you need to replace.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s three cups per pound of fluid, so drink up!<\/p>\n<div class=\"iframe-wrap\">\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/3ov9jW5LkqPw06WDCw\" width=\"480\" height=\"273\" frameborder=\"0\" class=\"giphy-embed\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/fallontonight-lol-jimmyfallon-classicfall-3ov9jW5LkqPw06WDCw\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>4. Fat v Carbs: the difference in energy sources<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re confused about fats and carbs &#8211; which to eat and when, you&#8217;re NOT alone my friend. Thankfully, Dr Rebecca Randell clarified as part of her talk.<\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;re doing high-intensity sports, you need carbs to keep you going, whereas lower-intensity activities use fat as energy. So if you&#8217;re getting your heart-rate up for longer periods, you&#8217;ll need carbs to help sustain your energy expenditure.<\/p>\n<div class=\"iframe-wrap\">\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/2rAFh98PNAyRBZT3HS\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" class=\"giphy-embed\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/gatorade-reaction-football-2rAFh98PNAyRBZT3HS\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4>The #GatoradeFuelLab popped up in Al Quoz for one day only<\/h4>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Live from <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/gatoradefuellab?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#gatoradefuellab<\/a> in Al Quoz.
