Whats better Gatorade or water?
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!
What percentage of the sports drink market does Gatorade control?
For series 02 (normal Gatorade) it's about 96 percent water and the rest is additives like sodium (AKA electrolytes), sugar, flavoring, color, etc. electrolytes is why Gatorade is better than water for athletic people.
Science experiments with Gatorade?
Gatorade vs Water. Which has more effect on heart rate when exercise? Does Gatorade really give the drinker energy?
Why is powerade better then Gatorade?
It really depends on how often you are drinking them and how much you work out or sweat. Powerade uses High Fructose Corn Syrup for sugar which is not healthy, but it also has some B vitamins Gatorade does not have. Overall, I would say Gatorade is the best choice for daily drinking.

Why is better to drink Gatorade instead of distilled water in very hot environment?
Gatorade will also replace the salts (electrolytes) you sweat out at the same time as the water that leaves your body. Drinking water alone not only doesn't help, it dehydrates you more, since there is nothing to absorb back into the blood and the salts still left become more diluted.

Is Flavored water better than Gatorade?
In comparing nutrition facts labels of Gatorade (G) and Coke Classic, G has about half the calories and sugar of Coke. Of course this will vary between products, but in this comparison, Gatorade is better from a nutrition perspective. G does, however, have more sodium than Coke, but this is to trigger thirst so you stay better hydrated.
Is Gatorade better for you while exercising or water?
If i were you, I would drink both. Many salts and nutrients you need are sweat out during excsersize, and replacing them while working out is beneficial to you (Gatorade). Similarly, when working hard, you may find that you can lose upwards of 3-6 pounds of water, so it is important to replace that. However, the molecules in Gatorade are a bit bigger, and not as readily available to become sweat as water alone. Gatorade however, can still not provide the benefits of water in terms of long term hydration. noob pwned
Which hydrates you more water or Gatorade?
When you are an athlete you lose chloride, sodium, and potassium due to sweating. Gatorade helps hydrate you and replace the electrolytes that are lost. Water does not replace your lost electrolytes. If you drink to much water it disturbs your electrolyte balance.
Why is water better than Gatorade and soda?
It is not, necessarily. If you are doing high intensity exercise then Gatorade is better for for you because it will give you carbs and electrolytes. If you drink it when you are not doing exercise, then it is bad for you because of its salt content. It will make you very unhealthy. The same goes for drinking too much ater after exercise because you could dilute your salt levels so much that you could die.
How does Gatorade affect plant growth?
Water. Gatorade has too much salt in it, which would be more likely to kill plants. (watch the movie Idiocracy) But if you wanted to give beer to the plant beer would be the best. One of my friends did a science fair project on it and beer was the best.
