Should Gatorade only be drank when doing serious exercise?!


Question: Should Gatorade only be drank when doing serious exercise!?
Lots of people drink gatorade all the time, but I was just wondering, is it bad if you drink for no reason!? Is it only, truly made for "Hard-Core" exercise!? Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I have recently seen a video on my source site that says that water is fine for people who's workouts are shorter than 60 minutes!. After that point, they actually recommended sports drinks like Gatorade!. I think after an hour, your body starts to lose more than just water and you need electrolytes and whatever else is in Gatorade to help you keep going!. Because of the calories, Gatorade is probably not worth it for just a 30 minute workout!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Gatorade has High Fructose Corn Syrup in it, which in my opinion is one of the major causes of the nations obesity problem!. I avoid this stuff like the plague!. If you are looking for an alternative, try coconut water!. Has more electrolytes, and all natural sugars!. Also great for hangovers!

Gatorade has a lot of calories!.

Calories are not evil!. Calories are energy!. If you are taking in more energy then you need, that's bad!. If you're working hard and need energy, calories are good!.
