Vitamin water is a better source for electrolytes. After intense exercise it is recommended to consume vitamin water because it replenishes both the electrolytes and water lost through sweating. Though Gatorade is good for you in very few ways, it should be consumed in moderation, not subsequent to every workout. Also, do not drink Gatorade during workout because it will cause burn out, due to its high sugar levels. When deciding between the two, it is best to resort to vitamin water.
There is an assortment of drinks available that contain electrolytes such as Gatorade, Powerade and Accelerade. All three of these drinks are recommended for running and other sports. Reviews from various sources mention that if you are training excessively over 4 hours a day you would need a higher intake of electrolytes than what the previous mentioned drinks offer. Also, there are recipes available online to make your own electrolyte drinks.
Green, leafy vegetables. when you are in the sun your body can produce its own vitamin D
Bananas do not contain more Vitamin C than oranges. Bananas contain 10.74 mg of vitamin C versus oranges which contain 69.69 mg. The daily value % of bananas is 17.9%. The daily value % of oranges is 116%.
Both broccoli and califlower contain many vitamins, but, as with minerals, broccoli wins out because it contains higher concentrations. Broccoli also contains more vitamin A, vitamin E and vitamin K, as well as several B vitamins.
Vegetables usually contain several vitamins and minerals, but have a higher amount of one or two of them. For example, carrots contain a high concentration of Vitamin A, but contain many other vitamins and minerals in lesser amounts. Also, unlike supplements, which usually have isolated vitamins, vegetables contain phytonutrients which are needed for the vitamin to work in the body.
Teas do not contain caffeine , but they do contain methylxanthine alkaloids, a similar stimulant.
To put it in a scientific way; no. Feeding a plant Gatorade instead of water will make it long for water. The same way that if you kept drinking Gatorade instead of water you would get very thirsty after a while and Gatorade would not be able to quench your thirst. H20=water is used by all living organisms thus meaning that Gatorade does not contain enough water to keep you or your plant alive.
They don't,electrolytes are higher in orange juice.
When exercising yes. But for the average person, it's not too good in high quantities. I am adding on to this...and what that person said is completely untrue. Firstly, when you exercise, you don't lose hardly any electrolytes, anyone who wants to argue that can go look at the research. Why this is such a common myth, I have no idea. I would assume it has to do with Gatorade's marketing strategy. Secondly, Gatorade, Powerade, etc. all contain extremely high and very concentrated doses of sugar. WHICH IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU! Actually any sugar, regardless of the type of sugar, that is concentrated higher than 6%-7% is very bad for your kidneys. Even in "all natural" fruit juice. With that said, the type of sugar in fruit juice is a heck of a lot better for you than sports drinks. So, no, it is not good for you whether you are sitting there on the couch or doing intense workouts with the Marine Force Recon. If you REALLY want to figure this out for yourself, google what electrolytes are and how they function. DON'T KILL YOUR KIDNEYS!!! =) "Firstly, when you exercise, you don't lose hardly any electrolytes...." hmmm, college grad for sure!
This is not necessarily true. Kiwifruit can be much higher in vitamin C.
