Padel Magazine - Beer, the false friend of athletes? Eternal question to which we will try to answer it even if we must admit that we have a tendency to say yes ...

Alors que le padel internationally is not doing so well with in particular the withdrawal of the leading brand Estrella in the WPT (World Padel Tour), we wondered if there was any good to drink a beer after a good game of padel...

If we are in the obligation to tell you that any alcohol abuse is dangerous for health, drink a beer after the effort to a number of benefits ... hm ... And inconvenience ...

First of all, we're not going to lie to each other: it feels good! Although these benefits cannot be quantified, between its freshness and being with friends over a beer certainly helps to relax after a game.

Just as seriously, drinking this “liquid bread” as our elders used to say, provides significant nutrients (carbohydrates, amino acids, minerals and vitamins). But the tragedy is that nutrients do not provide sufficient recovery value.

After part of padel, the bodies are tired and we are sometimes dehydrated… Beer will make you think it will help you, but it is sneaky. In fact, beer not only does not contain enough minerals to provide good hydration after exercise, but it is diuretic. Basically, the volume urinated is greater than the volume absorbed ... Ouch.

The negative effects of beer don't end there! What idea is it to go see our family doctors for more information if it is to undermine our morale?

Overall, beer is also a disrupter. That means here, that your body will focus on eliminating alcohol rather than fat. " Fats will be less eliminated and thus stored in adipose tissue ". Understood ?! Neither do we but it does not look very good… And it would appear that it would disrupt muscle recovery.

Let’s stop there! It is too hard.

In conclusion, let's face it, beer is a… false friend. Besides the professionals of padel understood it well: " I do not drink beers especially during competitions ". Is that there must be a reason?

When the opposing pair offers you a foam, think about it before saying yes… It may be a way to fight in the next match!
