Ce Topic (week #2)

           Sorry for posting late again but my topic is are sports drinks good for teens?

           This topic can be very big but I will try to sum it up for those who don't like to read long boring paragraphs.

            I play sports and I do drink sport drinks. There can be many advantages when you drink this. For example, drinking sport drinks taste good, are healthy when you are active, give you energy, and are a good source for hydration. There are also disadvantages. Sport drinks have a lot of sugar and are more expensive. I will now talk about the pros and cons for drinking sport drinks.

Pros: Drinking sport drinks taste good. When I play sports I prefer to have gatorade rather than just plain water. Most people do not drink the amount of water that they should which would make them dehydrated rather than drinking good sport drinks. Sport drinks can be healthy when treated properly. You need to be active for at least 30 minutes before drinking. If you are not active and drink sport drinks, this may harm you. When you actually exercise, they are very good because they provide lots of energy. I even feel stronger when drinking a sport drink rather that water. In conclusion, sport drinks can be very good for you if you use it properly.

Cons: Drinking sport drinks also has negatives. If you do not exercise, then sport drinks are not for you. They contain lots of sugar and sodium that are not healthy for you when you are not active. Sport drinks also cost more as they do more than water. Water is about 80cents and sport drinks are about $2. If money is the problem and you don't exercise, don't waste your money. In conclusion, sport drinks contain lots of sugar and sodium that can be unhealthy if not used properly. They do cost more but if you work out or play sports, it's worth the extra cents to have more energy when you need it.

           Sport drinks have advantages and disadvantages. Many athletes don't drink water but sport drinks for fuel when exercising. They also do drink water in there free time but for training its sport drinks. I personaly think they are a pro since I am an athlete and need to fuel my body. They are the perfect drink for me when exercising. Hope this changed your point of view on if sport drinks are good for teens.
