Pocari Sweat is the latest company to add its support to the 2005 Beijing Community Cup!
Event participants (teams and spectators) will be able to freely sample the ion supply drink which offers significant benefits over water in both the sporting arena and other fields.
The drink's efficacy stems from the fact that the human body has a very high water content: 60% for the average adult, and approximately 70% for a child. This water component is known as body fluid, and contains electrolytes such as sodium and potassium ions.
Every day, we lose about 2.5 liters of water through urinating, sweating and breathing, while we intake approximately the same amount through food and drink. Body fluids automatically regulate this loss and intake of water: balancing the two is vital to the maintenance of a healthy body.
The composition of Pocari Sweat is similar to that of your own body fluids. It contains just the right amount of those electrolytes - such as sodium and potassium ions - that your body loses when it loses water. It's also gentler on your body and more easily absorbed than ordinary water. And it doesn't harm the important balance of body fluids.
Pocari Sweat is enjoyed in countries in Southeast Asia and around the world. Although the drink is something of an acquired taste those that become accustomed to the taste will often swear by its benefits!
