Study: Pink drinks can help people run faster and further compared to clear drinks
A new study led by the Centre for Nutraceuticals in the University of Westminster shows that pink drinks can help to make you run faster and further compared to clear drinks.
The researchers found that a pink drink can increase exercise performance by 4.4 per cent and can also increase a feel good effect which can make exercise seem easier.
The study, published in the journal
Frontiers in Nutrition, is the first investigation to assess the effect of drink colour on exercise performance and provides the potential to open a new avenue of future research in the field of sports drinks and exercise.

A little pink in your drink might just improve your running, new research from the UK suggests. The small study found that people ran faster and longer on a treadmill when they first rinsed their mouths with an artificially sweetened pink-coloured drink, compared to rinsing with the same beverage without colour. The findings reinforce the potential power of the placebo effect for athletic performance.
