Any benefits of drinking gatorade after running a few miles? or is it better to just stick to water?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends, sweaty?: For the occasional athlete, gatorade has too many calories, you could dilute it about 50:50 with water. If you are extremely sweaty, then the electrolytes in gatorade are beneficial to replenish what is lost in your sweat.
