when i run and drink gatorade and keep running, i feel nauseous, does anyone else experience that?

Question

is water better?

Answer 1

Try to hydrate yourself adequately before running rather than trying to catch up while running. I like to mix Crystal Light and ground flax seed with purified water.

Answer 2

I have and for me its because of the level of sugar in the gatorade. Working drops the sugar...gatorade has a lot and causes the sugar to spike....that can make you nauseous....then of course the sugar drops again and that too can make you nauseous. My suggestion....stop drinking gatorade when you work out. Switch to plain water. Save the gatorade for after your work out.

Answer 3

Water is best, gatorade was never made to be used this way. Drink it afterward if you want it, it should only be used if you're exercising for more than 2 hours a day.

Answer 4

pre-training
Specialized Needs Drink 17-20 oz. of Gatorade one or more hours before an exercise, training, or competitive session, and another 7-10 oz. immediately before initiating activity.

during run
Drink 28-40 oz. (7-10 oz. every 10-15 minutes) during every hour of exercise.

post run
Drink 20 oz for every pound of weight lost.

so you'll need a scale and determination

Answer 5

So, you have just got this feeling when you drink Gatorade? I think that maybe you are drinking too much while you are running. I mean, marathon runners drink while they run but not too much at any one time. Below is an article about Drinking and eating before during and after exercise. Maybe it can help.

Science has already proved the benefits that a well-hydrated athlete has. It is important to have a balanced strategy for drink and food ingestion before, during and after big efforts.

Isotonic drinks replace more effectively the mineral and water lost through perspiration. To re-hydrate quickly and completely, you need to ingest mineral salts, so it is recommended to drink the right amount of nutritionally-balanced beverages before exhausting long-duration exercises, like the marathon. This is important to keep the athlete well-hydrated before, during and after the effort.

Laboratory researches have confirmed that athletes who had ingested drinks had a lower internal temperature and a proper heart rate, as opposed to those who didn't drink. During running, it is advised that the athlete drink fluids, preferably isotonic, at regular intervals of time. Isotonic drinks facilitate transfer of nutrients and fluids to the blood stream.

High level of thirst means performance loss and exhaustion. Drinks like orange juice don't have too much sodium and have slow absorption. Coconut water also doesn't have too much sodium. Beer has high levels of calories, but it is not adequate since alcohol is a diuretic. Soft drinks, due to their high levels of calories, have slow absorption rates and their gases can cause discomfort.

Water - which constitutes 60% of male body weight and 55% of female body weight - is eliminated through perspiration, defecation and mainly by urination; and its levels in our body need to be immediately replenished. This precious liquid is an important portion of foods like oatmeal, fruits, eggs, low fat meat, cheese, milk; and the lack of some nutrients can break the organic balance.

It is essential that the ingestion of minerals and natural foods is combined with proteins, fats, carbohydrates. Among the minerals, I consider iron of particular importance, especially among female athletes. Iron can be found in liver, fish, broccoli. The lack of this mineral in the human body causes loss of endurance, particularly among women.

So, I recommend to athletes to eat 4 hours before the long run, drink balanced drinks while running it, and ingest light food straight after. These recommendations are based on my experience as coach, but I advise the athletes to consult a nutritionist or a sports medicine specialist.
