Is Powerade good for you?!


Question:

Is Powerade good for you?


Answers:
the idea of a power drink is definitely fine as long as you're drinking it during and after a very tough work out and are tehrefore in need of re-integrate all the mineral salts which are lost. Amongst the many sports drinks, powerade is not the very best. It contains a lot of sweeteners - 'hidden' sugars - which are believed to be harmful as they are not be properly processed by our body, which is not able to 'recognize them' as a natural product. Therefore check the label first, if your sports drink is sold as 'sugar free' is very likely to contain a whole lot of sweeteners which are even worse than sugar! You may also want to avoid those sports drinks which contain caffeine (caffeine is diuretic, you don't want to drink it during your work out) . There's now a new drink on the market which is sugar and sweetener free which is called TAUT, it may work for you.
