Is gatorade better than water?

Answer 1

Latest studies out, say no.
In fact research now seems to indicate that it has a tendency to dehydrate, not hydrate the body.
Good marketing and advertising from the beginning though.
Sorta like Tang, remember that and the astronauts.
I wonder how much money is paid by the manufacturers for endorsements.
In fact, how do we really know that is Gatorade they toast with, not just plain colored water.
And, why do we need designer water?
Just filtered or steam from ordinary tap water, with flavor and color.

Answer 2

No. Water is actually better for you. There are calories and sugar in Gatorade. It is best to drink water.

But if you are active Gatorade does give you a boost.

Here is a link on sports drinks like Gatorade, and if they are better then water:

Answer 3

Though it has alot more sugar than it really should...

Gatorade is better than water because it hydrates you, while replinishing vitamins and minerals that are depleted not only through physical exertion but in our day to day activities.

Answer 4

depends on what ur drinking the gatorade for. water is free out of the tap.

Answer 5

If you want to lose weight maybe because gatorade makes you feel more full .

Answer 6

I don' t really think so. other ppl might. but even though it might have healthy things in it, not all things are healthy. gatorade says it "quenches your thirst", every time i drink it, i wanna drink more.That's the opposite of quenching your thirst. Isn't it? But water should be more than "JUST" water.
