What is in Your Electrolyte Beverage?

After an intense workout or run sometimes I grab an electrolyte drink to replenish essential nutrients. but did you know that the leading electrolyte beverages contain added sugar, and junk ending in ose? drinks with added sugar just adds empty calories to your diet and will not help fitness routine. In fact they can just slow you down.

We compared nutrition labels from three electrolyte solutions and came to the conclusion that only one will keep you hydrated and replenish the body’s essential minerals without being harsh on your stomach and full of empty calories.

Gatorade, the most well-known electrolyte beverage, has been around since 1965. most professional athletes are seen drinking this during and after games and competitions. When examining the Gatorade label we found that it is full of ingredients ending in ose.

Sucrose, glucose, fructose – anything ending in ose is actually sugar.  These nasty ingredients can can cause stomach issues and GI-distress for athletes working out.  They also give you unwanted empty calories.

Powerade hasn’t been around as long as Gatorade but it is popular among families because it is less expensive. When we took a closer look at the Powerade label we found that high fructose corn syrup was listed as one of the main ingredients.

High fructose corn syrup is worse than plain table sugar. High fructose corn syrup if consumed regularly can trick your body into wanting more, which leads to something similar to an addiction and it can contribute to weight gain and obesity. Personally, I try to avoid HFCS as much as I can.
