Answers:
Sugar is not the problem with Gatorade as others have suggested!. It is the sodium!. This is what aids in replenishing your electorlytes during vigurous activity!. All in all unless you drink an outrageous amount of the stuff it is not a problem!. While it is better to drink water Gatorade is not a bad option, especially when you compare it to pop, kool-aid, highly sweetened teas, and energy drinks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, when you sweat, your body loses things like sodium and gatorade helps to replenish that!. So, if you're doing long and intense exercise sessions it would be a pretty good drink to have!.

If you're not exercising then that means you're consuming more sodium when you drink gatorade!. One thing about sodium is that it goes with water in your body!. So, when you're full of it, then your kidneys will filter out the excess sodium with water and you'll basically urinate it out!. Too much of a good thing can sometimes be a bad thing!.

So, it isn't really a good idea neither is it a bad idea unless you have a health condition that would make either!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, that is true!.
i just recently found that out too!.
it's because there is so much sugar in Gatorade that you really need to be doing a hard-core workout to even drink one!.
it can overactivate you!.
so if you're not doing something that's really just draining your energy you should probably stick with water!.
hope that answered your question!.

Gatorade is just water with syrup!. You would only need it if you haven't eaten prior to working out!. Otherwise just drink some water!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
