Answers:

Mans’ most crucial nutrient is water.
Your body is 60 percent water, so stay hydrated:

If you are planning on running a marathon, then 200 calories of any type drink (juice or sports drinks) is recommended for endurance. One 32 oz gatorade just happens to be 200 calories so it is commonly used.

Otherwise, it's water for the rest of us, no need for the extra colories ( that we're trying to burn off) or the added sugar.
