Better tasting? Better for you? Cheaper? Cooler colors?\n\nBelow, you'll find links to a nutritional comparison chart, showing, for example, that Powerade has more calories in a 12 oz serving than Gatorade, but that Gatorade has twice as much sodium. Neither option offers anything other than accidental nutritional value in terms of minerals or vitamins.\n\nThe Sports Nutrition Department at Central Washington University offers similar analysis, also linked in another chart below.\n\nI guess it all depends on what you're looking for in a sports drink.

Food usually accounts for 20 percent of your fluid intake, so you if you consume 2 liters of water or other beverages a day (a little more than 8 cups), along with your normal diet, you can replace the lost fluids. \nEight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. Another approach to water intake is the "8 x 8 rule" — drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day (about 1.9 liters). The rule could also be stated, "drink eight 8-ounce glasses of fluid a day," as all fluids count toward the daily total. Though this approach isn't supported by scientific evidence, many people use this basic rule as a guideline for how much water and other fluids to drink. \nDietary recommendations. The Institute of Medicine recommends that men consume 3 liters (about 13 cups) of total beverages a day and women consume 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of total beverages a day. These guidelines are based on national food surveys that assessed people's average fluid intakes. \nYou can choose any of these fluid intake approaches to gauge your fluid needs. But your current total fluid intake is probably OK if you drink enough water to quench your thirst, produce a colorless or slightly yellow normal amount of urine, and feel well.

I like Gatorade better. Propel has aspartame in it and it makes my stomach hurt before I can finish on bottle of it. Water is usually my first choice though, unless i have been very active and need the electrolytes from Gatorade.\nAnd to the refrence of Gatorade being dangerous is you drink too much: Any fluid can be dangerous if you drink to much, even water. Drinking to much in a short period of time can dilute your blood and can lead to organ damage or death. A college kid died awhile back during a hazing incident when he was forced to drink glass after glass of water without being allowed to go to the bathroom.

Try mixing half gatorade half water.\nThe water is helpful in keeping you hydrated, but your depleted of other needed things which gatorade can replace, electrolytes and such.  \nAnd I suggest the mixture of water and gatorade because I know for me personally and for many others straight gatorade While working out can lead to a very upset stomach.

If you mean just drinking water...it's bad!!  You'll lose weight, but not fat.  Not a good idea.  Better to follow a balanced diet that includes water and that way you'll keep it off in the long run..certainly starving yourself is not a good thing..if that's what you mean by Water Trick??

Depends on your general condition.\nIf you are fit and kidneys are OK drinking excess water will get rid of toxins and give a luster to skin.\n Your digestive track  will be fine and you will have good motion if you drink water in early morning.\n\nIf your kidneys are not in a good shape please be cautious!!

I have actually thought quite a bit about this.  I have come to believe that water is best before and after exercising as you are using it to keep yourself hydrated, and not for "energy".  I use Gatorade during the actual exercise to keep me hydrated AND keep my energy level at as close to peak as possible.  \n\nHave fun with your project.

drink more water (the more you drink the less your body has to store)\navoid soda (all soda even diet)\navoid as much salt as possible\n\nDO NOT TAKE "WATER PILLS" DIURETICS ARE BAD FOR YOU!

The first 2 answerer's are correct. I just wanted to add that the soda should be flat,not fizzy and that sometimes Gatorade doesn't work for all people because of the dyes in it.\n\nIt has been an old stand-by in our family for generations,so why change a good thing. \n\nDon't forget the chicken bouillon or the chicken soup. these work wonders too but only when you're able to start keeping the crackers down.\n\n~Z~

I tried it, they come in different flavors. Personally, I'd stick to Gatorade because its a bigger bottle, and I feel that the Vitamin Water is loaded with sugar, and it is. Other than that, stick to water, the no calorie, great tasting beverage of choice.

If it is the only option for hydration, then it is necessary.  If you have other options, you should ingest them as caffiene is diuretic which facilitates the movement of water through the boby quicker.  This leads to less use of the water in your body and more urination.  Water with a small amount of electrolytes (or 1 part Gatorade/Sport Drink cut with 2 parts water) is still the best for hydration.

I think you mean BLOATED, and NO it's not good to drink too much water or gatorade. Try to stick with about 8-10 glasses of water a day, that's plenty.
