How long does Gatorade give you energy for?

Answer 1

You can consider it an energy, personally I don't consider it an energy drink. It has electrolytes (which does energize you), and a lot of carbohydrates. The carbohydrates also add energy, but they are mainly for your muscle development. It is a quick and low burst of energy to keep you alert and hydrated during high motion or calorie burning activities. If you drink it while not doing anything, it will make you hyper and it will cause an increase in weight because of all the carbohydrates.

Answer 2

Anything that has calories in it gives you energy. The Calorie is a unit of food energy. A typical 32 oz bottle of Gatorade has about 200 Calories.

But it does have some chemicals in it that give you a little bit of power: "Gatorade is formulated to rehydrate and replenish fluid, carbohydrates and electrolytes."
Also check this out from wikipedia: "The original Gatorade contained water, sucrose (table sugar) and glucose-fructose syrups, citric acid, Fish oil, sodium chloride (table salt), sodium citrate, monopotassium phosphate,and flavoring/coloring ingredients."
sugar = energy!
Gatorade is not really a drink to give you energy its really to replenish back your fluids and it works better than water if your doing physical activity but don't drink it like a everyday thing or else u will have to be in the hospital for overdose of caffeine

Answer 3

Your body needs calories to function on a very basic level. The lungs and heart need energy to expand and contract, and the brain needs calories to process information. You generate energy for these body processes by consuming calories in your diet. Gatorade has sugar which your body uses for energy, and water which is necessary to keep everything working properly. But Gatorade does contain harmful ingredients such as High fructose corn syrup and Artificial colors, so take these ingredients into consideration before consuming.

Answer 4

Yes, it contains water, but it is usually a good idea to drink equal volumes of Gatorade and water if you are exercising on a hot day.
