Sugarcane juice is a high-energy drink that is natural, sweet and is a healthy alternative to refined sugar added drinks. It quickly replaces lost energy in the most arduous of circumstances. It is a flavourful drink on it's own and also popular with a twist of lemon and can be mixed with any other juice to produce cocktails high in carbohydrate and vitamins.Sugarcane juice is naturally formulated with carbohydrate, which provide rapid energy for the working muscles. Carbohydrate provides 4 kcal (17 kJ) of energy per gram.It is one of the best sources of energy. The sugar in cane juice provides the glucose, which is stored, as glycogen to be 'burned' by muscles when required. The body can store only a limited amounts of glycogen therefore the body needs a regular supply of carbohydrates.
Sugarcane juice delivers a boost of carbohydrate energy to the working muscles. This helps to maximize sporting performance and endurance. Glucose is quickly absorbed and rapidly becomes available to the working muscles as a source of energy. Carbohydrate is the most efficient source of energy for any kind of physical activity. It is the body's primary fuel for exercise and requires less oxygen to be burnt than either protein or fat. However it is the most scarce energy source in the body with stores being limited. Supplies are depleted by exercise leading to fatigue and a loss of competitive intensity if the amount of carbohydrate ingested is less than that burnt each day the "fuel tank" will be running on empty.And sugar is the mother of all carbs. Literally. Plants, using a process that still stuns scientists, use the energy of the sun, and few items they draw up from the soil, to create the simple sugar molecule. It is from this simple sugar molecule that all carbohydrates are built. Starch is a medium chain of simple sugar molecules. Fibre is an even longer string. Wood is a really, really long chain of sugar molecules. Simple carbohydrates are a small chain of sugar molecules, complex carbohydrates are a long chain.
| 1. Fresh sugarcane juice contains about 15% natural sugar, so it's lower in calories than refined sugar or simple syrup. 2. Cane juice is a good source of riboflavin. 3. It is a good source of calcium, magnesium etc. |
