Gatorade vs Water By: Amanda Kathleen Hoffman by Mind Map: Gatorade vs Water By: Amanda Kathleen Hoffman

1. Gatorade is a sports drink. Water is not a sports drink. Gatorade is man made. Water is from nature.

2. When I'm thirsty, I drink water and when I'm dehydrated, I drink Gatorade. I do prefer Gatorade though, it tastes good and it makes me feel more alive, makes me feel healthy. Gatorade is good for many reasons, such are; only 6% carbohydrate, it has electrolytes, no caffeine, sucrose, and the list goes on. More about that later. Water is great too because it's natural, helps maintain our bodies balance of fluids, water can help control calories, can helps us lose weight, helps relieve headaches, cleanses your body, and that list is continuous too. Gatorade... we see it in commercials, especially sports, most commonly with football (go SeaHawks). But you don't need to be athletic to drink it, you don't even need to be sweating. I drink Gatorade when I'm sick. It is amazing how well and hydrated I feel afterwards. Remember how I said it tastes good? Well it does, and that's great news. Healthy Drink + Taste = More Intake of Liquids. I don't know about you, but I only drink water when I feel parched, yet when I drink Gatorade; I keep drinking it because it tastes good. Think of it like a motivator; taste-buds are saying "common have some more, it tastes so yummy" and your body is saying "thank you, I needed that". Water... love it. Natural, free, what more is there, really? Oh yeah, when your at the table eating; if you're afraid of gaining weight, drink water after every bite. It fills you up and that's where the "helps weight loss" comes in, I've tried it, and it does work. I can fill myself with water and I don't need to worry about "artificial flavoring" or my teeth rotting out (soda does that). A gross fact; throwing up water doesn't taste like anything coming up, besides the typical aftertaste of acid. So, if you're sick and hate throwing up; drink water.
