sport drink

[RichD]

I want to mix my own sport drink. Looking at the ingredients
of Gatorade, it's not too appetizing.

I'm thinking, half water, half orange juice. Then, salt, but how
many teaspoons, or grams, per liter? It should match the
body's salinity.

Also potassium, to replenish what's lost in perspiration.
That's why long distance runners eat bananas, I believe.
Can you get potassium in powder form, and what dosage
in the drink?

Other minerals?

There are countless recipes online. Let me get you one. Actually this link
even has one for OJ:

Sports drinks are for stupid kiddies who think drinking that crap
makes them look cool. Come to think of it, ALL athletes are nothing
but a bunch of egotistical morons.

[Julie Bove]

I wouldn't say "all" but I think quite a few would fall into that category.

I never let my daughter have Gatorade and I would always cringe when the Dr.
said that she needed it. Not all Drs. would say this but some were really
big on it. At least they did come out with G2. No high fructose corn syrup
in that. She currently drinks Propel but it is rare for her to finish a
bottle. She just takes it with her to dance classes. Mostly she drinks
water there. I think she thinks she needs it because most of the other kids
drink the stuff.

Gatoraid isn't really a sports drink so much as a repackaging of Kool-
Aid. They tossed in a little salt and a meaningless amount of
potassium, repositioned it as a "sports drink," gave it to the NFL for
free and sold it to twentysomethings who got sweaty playing basketball
in the driveway for a dollar-fifty a bottle. Anything you make will
probably be better than Gatoraid. And better for you.

They appeal to people who think that sitting around drinking beer and
eating junk food while watching a sports event on television makes them
athletic.

No shit, Sherlock!

Wrong!

Actually Gatorade is what they have you drink gallons of, with a
laxative, to clean out all your shit before a proctoscope exam.

Calorie for Calorie, oranges have more potassium than bananas do.

Fifty percent orange juice is probably too sweet -- depends on the
weather. I used to put a tablespoon of orange juice in a bike bottle
of water -- and carry a bottle of water wash it down with when it got
too strong for me.

You can buy potassium chloride in any grocery store, right next to the
salt.

For SUPPLEMENTAL potassium, you can get a pretty good idea
how to take potassium here: www.acu-cell.com/znk.html#k

It compares types of potassium, cost factor (grocery store
is cheapest), tablets vs bulk, and how to calculate elemental
amounts. Most people don't know that adults - depending on
their weight and activity - need close to 5,000 mg of potassium
a day (the RDA is further down on the page).

As pointed out by someone else though, if tolerated, orange
juice is probably the best bet considering taste, and its high
potassium content compared to other sources.
But if you lose a lot of sodium or other minerals through sweating,
you will need to replace them too.

I agree. Your definition of "A Troll" doesn't sound so far off either.

I'll skip any Gohde posts from now on, but so far they were mildly amusing in

My overall accessment of the situation is called a CONCLUSION

For the benefit of the mentally challenged Science Psychos.

My assessment of the situation is called a CONCLUSION, which is in
fact undeniably correct!

My brilliant rational can be specified as follows.

-----
Multiple research teams have investigated sports drinks since the
mid-1990s. In general, ingesting 30 to 60 grams carbohydrate during
each hour of running, cycling, or similar aerobic exercise keeps the
blood glucose higher when compared to no-carbohydrate conditions,
lowers blood levels of stress hormones such as cortisol and
epinephrine, and as a result, is thought to lower post-exercise immune
inflammatory responses.

Nonetheless, consumption of carbohydrates in the form of sports drinks
during exercise does not protect against the transient decrease in
immune function that is experienced by athletes after long exercise
bouts that are greater than 90 minutes in duration.
-----

Ergo, rational people exercise ONLY at moderate levels which results
in a classical "J" curve health response, whereas insane athletes
engage in a "S" curve which creates a window of opportunity for elite
clowns to contract opportunistic upper respiratory tract
infections and serious communicable diseases, such as pneumonia.

All educated people agree on this, even if insane athletes are totally
clueless as to the end result of their insanity.

No way you'd save money over the powdered Gatorade. A can of powder that
makes 36 quarts of Gatorade sells for $11.19 at Costco, or about 31¢/quart.

Remember, that Gatorade was developed by researchers at one of the
finest universities in the world--you're not going to be able to
duplicate Dr. Cade's work in your kitchen. Companies and individuals
have been trying to duplicate Gatorade for decades, without success.

Gatorade is nothing more than Kool-ade mixed with brackish water.

===============================================

As was pointed out, the RDA for potas is 4700 mg, and the RDA for sodium is
1500 mg, for a ratio of 3:1.
What many people -- perhaps even MOST people -- consume instead is 4700 mg
of sodium and 1500 mg of potassium.

So potassium supp -- assuming the RDA is in fact a realistic assessment --
makes sense for many, perhaps most people. The fact that "potassium is in
every food" doesn't mean that *enough* potassium is in every food, depending
of course on what foods you are eating.
You could say the same for calcium, or a dozen other nutrients, incl
protein. A typical Gohde mis-interpreteation of nutrition, science, basic
logic.

There is some logic to Gatorade, in some circumstances, altho the product
itself is basically a heavily marketed conjob.
But as someone pointed, cheap enough, compared to virtually any drink you
can buy at the corner store.

Electrolytes are only an issue for heavy endurance and/or heavy exposure to
heat.
*How* you reintroduce them is inneresting tho, from an osmotic pov --
Warning -- this is way over Gohde'shead...
The experimentation that Gatorade likely did -- of course at the finest
universities in the world of course -- was to find the optimal *osmotic
balance*.

If you drink pure water in a state of electrolyte stress/depletion,
re-hydration certainly occurs, but also the few electrolytes floating around
in the body are temporarily sucked in to the intestines -- at least in
theory -- making things temporarily worse.

If you drink heavily salted water in a state of dehydration, you can
temporarily worsen the dehydration thru the same osmotic process, except now
you are sucking WATER into the gut (out of the body) -- which is why you
can't drink seawater if you are lost on a raft.

All in all, a kind of non-issue, as someone pointed at that Gatorade and all
that other crap is just koolaid with a salt pill thrown in. You'd do just
as well drinking water and eating an orange, or a french fry. All in all,
much ado about not much.

Gatorade is like Starfuck$ -- half the reason assholes buy Starfuck$ is so
they can walk around with the coffee cup, *label out*.... esp. in Japan.
I'm surprised Nike dudn't have a sports drink.... the more the merrier.

Mountain Dew/Jolt woulda proly had an even more positive effect on
dehydrated football teams.... caffeine, donchaknow.... LOL
