Coconut Water or Sports Drink, Which One Will You Take?

Gone are the days when water used to be the favorite drink of athletes. Soon after the introduction of sports drinks, athletes are widely saying yes to sports drink rather than having water. In 1966, a sports drink called Gatorade was introduced for athletes.

Over the decades, many changes were introduced in the Gatorade to make it the most desirable drink. However, with the passage of time, the requirements and preferences of people have changed. Now, they are keener in having coconut water rather than having Gatorade.

Coconut water in perceived by the athletes as natural sports drink and this is the reason why it has become so popular. Chhandashri Bhattacharya conducted a study over coconut water. He claimed, “Coconut water is a natural drink that has everything your average sports drink has and more. It has five times more potassium than Gatorade or Powerade”.

An athlete needs to be very careful as to where he or she is spending the money. Sports drinks are made to help athletes warding off dehydration. Therefore, before spending millions of dollars on the sports drink a thorough study of the content of the drink is needed. Dehydration can reduce the performance of the athlete. Sports drink contains sodium which helps in keeping the body hydrated.
