Hola!

As everyone says because of the electrolytes...they help you from becoming
dehydrated. But, please remember to dilute to 1/2. Why because we have
fighters that have a tendancy to drink only gatorade/poweraide. This is not
good for the system (I for got why...ask Caelin Andrede or Crandall).  Here
in Elfsea, we buy whichever is cheaper.

I think that your second question depends upon the fighter. Just make sure
they are getting plenty of water and not "over-dosing" on the electrolytes.

Soem of the other things you might serve are pickles, oranges, bananas,
water-melon, pretzels, and grapes. Word of warning...with grapes, and
watermelon you need to watch those who them closely as these can cause
cramping and The Texas Quick Step (aka diahrea). I advise against serving
straight pickle juice because it acts as a blood thinner (or so I have been
told by my doctor).  I try serve my fruits and pickles cold by placing them
in an ice chest.

Hope this helps!

Greeting From Alina:

Stupid question but I'll ask anyway.

Why gatorade?

Those in the know and those with opinions on it, please answer. Of all
the times I tasted the gatorade at events it always taste awful and
stuck with drinking water instead. I was told the past that gatorade
never tastes good when you don't need it.

Do the fighters actually like and/or prefer it?

Or is it just a stable offering along with the water at events?
