Healthiest sports drink?!


Question: Healthiest sports drink!?
I've started running regularly again and at the end of each run I get a Gatorade!. I've heard it's better for you than Vitamin Water because Vitamin Water is all sugar and Gatorade has electrolytes!. Out of all the sports drinks widely available, which is best for you!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Vitamin water is actually not good to drink often, and isn't much in the means of a sports drink!.

Gatorade does have the electrolytes, but powerade has less calories, more potassium, vitamins (b12), and niacin (vitamin b3), help fight certain diseases and keep you healthy!. It also has less sodium and carbs!.

Serving size: 8 fl oz; Servings per container: 2!.5; Amount per serving: Calories: 10; Total fat: 0g; Sodium: 55mg; Potassium: 35mg; Total carbohydrates: 2g; Sugars: 2g; Protein: 0g; Niacin: 10%; Vitamin B6: 10%; Vitamin B12: 10%

Serving size: 8 fl oz; Servings per container: 2!.5; Amount per serving: calories 50; total fat 0g; sodium 110mg; potassium 30mg; total carbs 14g; sugars 14gWww@Answer-Health@Com

Funny, someone was talking about this the other day!.

Some scientists apparently got together and researched the 'ultimate sports drink' that you should feed to an Olympic athelete!. Not sure if they actually produced any, but the conclusion was that if an everyday person wanted to drink something similar, the thing that would be closest (nutritionally) would be chocolate milk made with 1% milk!. Pretty crazy, huh!?

Now, granted, there is one hitch that I can think of-most of us aren't Olympic atheletes!. Unless you're very seriously working out, it may not actually be the best thing for you (for instance, an Olympic water polo player will lose 5-10 lbs over the course of a game-does your workout get that intense!?)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your best bet is water!. Though, if you must go with a sports drink, I'd suggest to read up on what one is right for you here:
