Muscle Building Questions - Sports Drinks Vs. Water During Workouts

Question:
I know that I'm supposed to drink plenty of water throughout the day but I was wondering if drinking juices that are mixed with water and drinks like powerade count as drinking water. I understand that it is not just pure water, but does it help?

Answer:
Nothing beats regular drinking water for hydration. The biggest issue with drinks like Powerade and Gatorade are the amount of sugar and calories in them. A bottle may contain as much as 50 grams of sugar and over 300 calories. Stick with water for your liquids and you will be much healthier.
