it's both. it's got a high sugar content which is definitely not helpful but it's also got important electrolytes that your body needs replaced. it's one of the best replenishers out there.

Yes you may need to take 5 minute brakes and drink Gatorade or Powerade. The thing to avoid is drinking,Red Bull,Monsters or any other type of energy drink like that.  This is because the red bull will only give you a moments burst of energy while gatorade will keep you powered up for quite sometime and keep you hydrated.

In oral rehydration therapy, electrolyte drinks containing sodium and potassium salts are used to replenish the body's water and electrolyte levels after dehydration caused by exercise, diaphoresis, diarrhea, vomiting or starvation. So to answer your question yes, bulimia can cause in the depleation of your electrolyte count. Sports drinks such as Gatorade or Lucozade are electrolyte drinks with large amounts of added carbohydrates, such as glucose, to provide energy. Without sufficient levels of these key electrolytes, muscle weakness or severe muscle contractions may occur. However, Serious electrolyte disturbances, such as dehydration and overhydration, may lead to cardiac and neurological complications, and unless they are rapidly resolved will result in a medical emergency. Electrolytes keep you hydrated. This does not mean you need to drink Gatorade all the time. This only means that when your electrolytes are depleted it is a good idea to consume some, these are only in extreme circumstances that they are needed , exercising in extreme conditions over 5 or 6 hours (an Ironman or ultramarathon, for example) you will need to add a complex sports drink with electrolytes.

uh, i thought gatorade had salt in it. don't drink it.\n\nDrink water, pure water.  At least 6 glasses a day.\n\nCut down on salty foods.\n\nSee a doctor if it persists... it's really not worth tempting fate.

Yeah, I think it's the Yellow 5 dye that they put in the soda that causes problems... But you have to drink a LOT for it to be a problem!  Then again, I know some guys who drink 6 a day :p

I would say that would be a bad idea. I don't think that it is good for you to drink it strait or anything. If you want to clean out your system drink lots and lots of water. That is the healthiest way to go.

The "overly muscular guys" on the package are steroid-using freaks that rarely (if ever) actually use the product they lend their likeness to.\n\nThat being said.  Asking if protein/creatine drinks are "safe" would be like asking if eating meat is safe.  Chicken is protein, creatine is naturally present in red meat, it's just food in a more readily available form.  \n\nYour body can absorb these liquid forms of protein much faster than other food soures, which is good, because post-workout you need some quickly-absorbed nutrients (namely protein and complex carbohydrates).  You're crazy if you don't have a good protein and carb drink following a workout.  Otherwise a great deal of your benefit is being lost.\n\nI would suggest a pre- and post-workout nutritional approach.

Well am a swimmer and have swam since i was little. I was always told to eat bananas, bagles, pasta, etc. All of those are good and help with your swimming. I knwo this isnt healthy but my coach always had me eat a choclate bar about 30 min before a race to give me energy, it helped alot!  Good Luck , oh by the way i would suggest not drinking pop the week before a swim meet or the day of one

It isn't bad for you and I think in my personal opinion that it is good for you. It replaces nutrients that you loose while you sweat.

What I wish I had known at your age. And I'm completly serious about all of them...\n\n1. Never eat stale gummi bears with Gatorade or any alcoholic beverage. (Seriously. Not fun.)\n\n2. Always shower with the curtain on the inside of the tub.\n\n3. Don't smoke. If you have asthma, stay away from others who smoke.\n\n4. It's better to let people think you're crazy than to let them know you're a coward.\n\n5. Never eat stale gummi bears with Gatorade or any alcoholic beverage. (You may not believe me, but...)\n\n6. It's better to be lucky than good.\n\n7. A stitch in time saves nine, but it ruins the suspense.\n\n8. Nobody deserves to be loved. That is what makes love beautiful.\n\n9. Flossing is important.\n\n10. Nothing that happens in middle school matters. Only about 20% of what happens during high school matters, and most of that deals with applying for college. You're never going to see those people again.\n\n11. Dating is pointless until you're out of your parents' home. Sure, you might think you like him. You might need some. Too bad. It's not worth the hassle.\n\n12. Buy a crappy first car in case you wreck it.\n\n13. Never eat stale gummi bears with Gatorade or any alcoholic beverage.

Gatorade has too much sugar. Try sugar free unflavored Pedialyte, and Smart Water, or any fortified unsweetened "sport" water.

I don't think this much Monster Energy drink is good for your kidney's plus you would be bouncing off the wall and probably have a stomach ache. It would be system overload.

i mainly see it as a supplement for working out.  it's safe for working out so i don't see why it would be a problem for runners.  the main side effects are that it gives you the sh*ts. =]  but not all people get this problem.

As you may know sodas not that good for you. So you shouldnt drink any kind of soda to much. But otherwize there is a drink called jolt. Jolt has twice the caffine and twice the sugar. I would stay away from that one.

There are no proven connection between artificial sweeteners and neurochemistry at all. I don't know where you heard this, but until a study tells you to worry, don't worry! Otherwise, you can wory about anything which hasn't been looked into. Does cheese make my toes bigger? Will looking at plastic make my nostrils fall off? If so, how many pounds of plastic do I have to look at per nostril?\n\nDrink away, dear.
