Whats better Gatorade or water

Answer 1

It depends on the type of sport you're playing, and the weather conditions. On a very hot day where the heat index is at a dangerous level, and where you are sweating well above normal, Gatorade might be a decent choice. Sports involving padding/helmets and hot weather certainly warrant consideration of Gatorade.

The idea of Gatorade hydrating you any better than water is a complete myth. Gatorade contains electrolytes, which water doesn't, to help aid your basic muscular functions in extreme conditions. But it isn't absorbed into your system any better or more quickly than water is. This is a very common misconception that has been drilled into our heads by Gatorade's marketing campaign.

The amount of sugar in the drink is worrisome, however. I recommend cutting Gatorade in 2 with water.

90% of athletes should just stick to water. And drinking Gatorade while not playing a sport is completely unnecessary!

Answer 2

GATORADE may taste better than water but if you are doing a large amount of sport i would recommend water for these reasons 1) water is cheaper that Gatorade 2) It has no sugar unlike Gatorade so you will put on no calories 3) water can come from a tap at the gym if you run out of Gatorade that's is unless you know of a Gatorade fountain?

Answer 3

When I deployed, we were recommended to drink twice as much water to the amount of Gatorade we drank. Gatorade does have electrolytes your body needs and such, but also a lot of stuff you don't need.
