I think water is probably the best thing for you.

if ur workin out it is because da salt helps somethin.all i no is that after a football game we get lots of gatorade

Gatorade has electrolytes, which keep you from getting dehydrated. it has carbs that give you energy.

I would rather drink water than gatorade and I hate water. Gatorade has a weird edge to it

for diarreah yes Only on the occasions that you are working out hard.But for everyday regular water consumption to avoid dehydration drink..well you know.

Yes it is. If you are working out you will lose sodium through sweat. Gatorade replaces electrolytes along with sugars to help maintain endurance. One more thing because of the electrolytes gatorade is absorbed from the gut faster than water.

gatorade is only good if you're working out. If not then just drink water.

the electorlites are supposed to help you hydrate faster than water, but its not that great. my coach always suggested like a mix of half gatorade n half water NO. water is MUCH better than gatorade in any way. when you're drinking gatorade, you're adding a lot of salt and sugar in your body

nothing is better than water

both will help against dehydration

Gatorade is good but with all the salt and other stuff in it. I hate to tell you this but you need water your body is made up of mostly water there for you need WATER. NO.It does not replace the essential nutrients, only the fluid mass.

If you are exercising, and sweating heavily, then Gatorade is good for you.
But to just drink Gatorade cause you like it, it's not. Friend of mine, who is a RN said that the electrolytes can affect your kidneys if you get to much, so only Gatorade when you are exercising.

no. there is so much sugar in Gatorade. its just like an energy drink. drink water instead. It depends on what you mean by "better." Some people think that the glucose and electrolytes in Gatorade will give you more stamina during exercise. That's not necessarily true, though. Without getting into complex physiology, that intake probably won't make a difference with short term exercise (less than 60 mintues).

Generally, I'd stick with water during exercise, and be sure to eat a small meal rich in complex carbohydrates a few hours before exercising.

nt if you are diabetic. pedialyte has all the normal helpful minerals and vitamins a person needs, without the sugar- the great dibetes causer- which everyone put into anything so as to make things taste good, while killing you. Only if you are doing something active like playing basketball or running because when you are sweating your body gets dehydrated so you need something like gatorade that has salt in it to help hydrate your body faster.

Nothing is better for you than water. Gatorade may taste better but you also get a bunch of chemicals with that . Water is natural and it's the best.

Absolutely not. Water is essential to life. Gatorade is not. Just try growing a plant on Gatorade.

No, why would it be? It has sugar in it that will turn to fat if you don't burn it off. no, it's okay to keep up your strength and energy, especially when working out, but overall water is definitely better. Gatorade contains electrolytes, which is basically salt. Drinking gatorade can dehydrate you if you don't drink water or a replenishing substance behind it.
