electrolytes = good

sugar = baaaad

try Emergen-C instead. it's a full gram of vitamin C and a lot of electrolytes without tons of sugar. mixes with just a little bit of water and comes in a lot of flavors, too.

I love Emergen-C. I try to keep a few packets of it in my desk at work - there are times when I can feel my energy starting to flag in the late afternoon, and I don't want any caffeine that late in the day. The Emergen-C does the trick, let me tell you.

see? :D

it's good stuff. the only thing is, it's ascorbic acid, and i get mad canker sores when i get too acidic. i try to stay pretty alkaline, and usually do what with being vegan and all. i usually only take Ester C. that's a nonacidic form of vitamin C.

[beastieangel01]

hmm I should try that stuff.

What do you think of Vitmain Water, cos?

[cerveza]

vitamin water is yummy

[adam_f]

I like Gatorade, so I guess I'm the enemy, goddammit.

i don't know enough about it to say. i remember once reading a bottle and thinking "eh" but that's all i could tell you :)

gatorade is far better than powerade thats all that needs to be said.

[QweenOfBoggle]

when I drink gatorade, I can't help but think of drinking sweat. must be the salt :\

[cosmo105]

i'd rather get mega dehydrated and cramp up in all my muscles than Powerade.

my boyfriend is obsessed with alkalizing foods

[cosmo105]

!!! awesome. it's kinda easy for me being vegan and all...but i get lazy, heh. :o

i loooove ester-C. it's the best.

[jabumbo]

i dont see how people can drink it when they arent doing anything physical...because it just doesnt taste that good. the only time i have it is occasionally when im playing soccer or something, and thats the only time i can treally stand the taste

[kll]

gatorade is good for hangover mornings if you aren't working out... the only flavor that i truly like though is riptide rush...

[HEIRESS]

I read something about how working out during the 24 hours after boozing it up really just burns off the alcohol and no fat at all

so it is a semi pointless task in some ways, I cant remember the specifics but when i read the article it definately made me go Hmmmmmmm

i bet this is also triggered by those gatorade commercials, all balck and white, cept the peoples sweat is all neon.
those commercials were perty nasty

[JBernas]

I only like it if I'm really hungover (when plain water makes my stomach turn)....it tastes watered down and salty to me. Plain old water is preferrable in most cases.

[HEIRESS]

*fact*

I have never tried gatorade/powerade in my life

[baltogrl71]

i like the new dog vitamin water, it makes my dog feel extra cool in the am when we run.
