The right drink for the right reasons
The human body loses at least 2.5 litres of body fluids even
without having any strenuous activity or any kind of physical training. We lose
this much even on a quiet day at work or at school. Because the body doesn’t
stop its bodily functions to keep us going and these body fluids are very
important in maintaining proper circulation of the nutrients needed by every
part of the body and also in keeping it from overheating.
While physical stress
has always been attributed to lost body fluids, mental and emotional stress
could also contribute to dehydration. Exposure to hot weather also makes the
body perspire greater amounts of fluids just to keep our bodies cool. One might
think that we are just losing water from dehydration, but along with these are
the minerals and electrolytes that our body needs. Every time we lose these
fluids is the time when we should rethink about what we drink.
There are many options out there in the market, but nothing
comes close to Pocari Sweat’s safe and trusted formulation. From one of Japan’s
most trusted pharmaceutical and nutraceutical companies and currently the
Philippines’ number one Japanese pharmaceutical company, Otsuka (Philippines)
Pharmaceutical, Inc. (OPPI) has brought Pocari Sweat in the country to bring
wellness that doesn’t only make you get better, but also keep you to be better.
Unlike other electrolyte drinks available in market, Pocari
Sweat is still much safer to drink. “It does not contain artificial colouring,
preservatives, caffeine and is non-carbonated,” said Janeth M. Leus, OPPI Asst.
Brand Manager. “Though the acidity level has been an issue to isotonic drinks
which has an erosive effect on the dental enamel, with Pocari Sweat containing
vitamin C and other acidic ingredients, its ingredients such as sodium,
potassium, calcium, and magnesium turn alkaline once metabolized by the body,” Ms.
Leus expounds. “Since the volume of these alkaline-forming ingredients
contained in Pocari Sweat is greater than the acidic ones, it is classified as
an alkaline-promoting beverage.”
There is no particular limit on the amount of Pocari Sweat
one can drink, provided that your body is in good condition. To anyone doing
their usual work out, training, or other physically strenuous activity, it is
best to gauge how much fluid they lost and replace it in small amount of
intakes. “But for people who have medical conditions such as diabetes or
gastritis, or they are in a sugar or salt-restricted diet due to obesity or
high blood pressure, consider your daily limits when drinking Pocari Sweat,
because it contains salt and sugar,” Ms. Leus explains. “It is still best to consult
your dietician or doctor on when is the best time to drink Pocari Sweat.”
Pocari Sweat right now is seen as another sports drinks that
benefits athletes in their hydration needs, but OPPI sees this opportunity to
widened its reach and not be limited to just the sports market. “Being far
healthier and safer to drink compare to other electrolyte drinks, we see Pocari
Sweat, years from now as the #1 Health Hydration Drink here in the
Philippines,” Ms. Leus said.” Our formulation is safe to drink everyday even by
an ordinary individual who does not have that much physical and strenuous
activity to deal with. And yet the need for replenishing body ions is still
needed with the right drink.”
“Pocari Sweat provides all the daily hydration needs in a
healthy way,” Ms. Leus adds. “And it starts by rethinking your drink.”
Pocari Sweat comes in 330 ml. can, 350 ml. PET bottle, 500
ml. and two-liter PET bottle. Pocari
Sweat is available in major chain drugstores, supermarkets and convenience
stores. For more information on Pocari Sweat visit www.otsuka.com.ph.
