Are sports drinks good or bad for you?


                                                                 Are sport drinks good or bad for you?
    Hi, I am rajan and I am going to talk to you about are sports drinks good or bad for you. Now it's so hard to walk down the drink isle and not see a type of sport drink there are so many different flavors lemon, grape, lime, and blue berry and they are just loaded with sugar and kids drink them all the time during sports and its bad for them and they want it for the sugar and the taste and that's it. After drinking these sports drinks these kids crash and they can't perform well at all because they have hit the wall and that is just 1 of the cons bout sports drinks.
Gatorade and PowerAde are the 2 most popular sports drinks out there and like in their name its suppose to help you like give you ion 4 witch for people who don't know it's a vitamin you lose after you work out and its suppose to help you replenish them witch it does but that all it does.  but with all the sugar and sodium it really doesn't help you it actually hurts you in a way of it doesn't let you perform at you highest level.
your probably wondering why do kids still drink this stuff it's because first it taste good and better than water. Second is these companies spend hundreds of millions of dollars to get pro athletes to advertise their product and have them drink it and it also says if you want to be like us that we have to drink this stuff. Which isn't true a lot of major athletes drink water.
 So are sports drinks good or bad for children NO! They are unhealthy and lead to child hood obesity and that is why kids of all ages shouldn't drink sports drinks. So remember you can be a pro without sports drinks
