Özet
Energy and sports drinks (ESDs) are frequently consumed for improved hy dration and sports performance by athletes in various branches, including fencing, road cycling, football, tennis, handball, and rugby. Statista Con sumer Market Insights data declared that the global revenue of the ener gy and sports drinks (ESDs) industry was 195,74 billion U.S. dollars in 2023. Moreover, the total revenue was projected to increase by 24.05% between 2024 and 2029 (1). However, the ESD consumption routine may become a health concern in the future, particularly in adolescent athletes. Excessive consumption of ESDs is related to dental erosion, tooth decay, obesity, type II diabetes, and several chronic disorders due to their high sugar content and low pH levels. Therefore, alternative solutions with high pH levels, sufficient minerals, and low sugar content must be found. This review discusses the effect of natural mineral waters (NMWs) on sports parameters and sustain able health compared to ESDs for adolescent athletes. In this context, relat ed publications in the last 30 years have been obtained from Google Scholar, Scopus, and PubMed databases. Scientific literature was evaluated in terms of sports parameters, dental health, and risk of chronic disease development. Firstly, NMWs can contribute to rehydration, improved acid-base balance, and relieving muscle fatigue post-exercise. However, more evidence is re quired to impact performance directly. Secondly, NMWs with high pH and fluoride content may be safer for dental health than ESDs. Lastly, the con sumption of non-sweetened NMWs does not result in obesity, but it may cause hypertension and urological diseases. In conclusion, consumption of ESDs or NMWs alone is insufficient for sports performance and sustainable health. Therefore, the effects of combined consumption of ESDs and NMWs on adolescent athletes should be investigated in the future, and their optimal consumption amounts for sustainable health should be determined.
