- Outstanding work Bob,
once again I am getting very thirsty Bob.
- All right, well you can go outside right now,
it's pouring cats and dogs. - Yeah, no kidding.
So anyways Bob, about a week ago, we just put up
a video about what you should drink.
Is water a good thing to drink if you're active
and you're perspiring, working out, running, whatever.
- Sure.
- And so I thought I'd do some research, I did,
and what it came down to was, the most important things are,
when your activity is up like that,
you're perspiring, is you need to have sodium.
- You gotta replenish the sodium.
- Right, right.
So, water itself is good,
but it's helpful to have sodium, as well as
other electrolytes are important too,
but sodium's the number one.
- And I could be a poster child for this,
'cause I am one that if I do, I sweat a lot,
so if I do a lot of activity, like three hours into it,
- I mean, I'm getting weird, I mean I'm getting a little.
- Well you're weird anyways.
- I'm getting weird, I'm weird anyway,
but add that to, even more weird.
- Your wife probably can't stand you.
- That's right, so I have to drink some of these
and I'll show you what I drink.
- Sure.
- And it makes the world of difference.
- Sure. - It just makes it
shall I bring it in?
- Yeah, bring 'em in.
So we got in some real popular drinks that you'll notice,
some you may not notice, and we have 'em in order here.
We've got water here, and then we've got
some not so popular drinks here, Gatorade,
what do we got, Powerade, look at that, Bodyarmor,
look at that, looks like a nice container,
and then we have the other extreme that we know
are not real healthy to drink, Pepsi and Coke.
- [Bob] Right, sorry Pepsi and Coke,
but that's just the way it is.
- Yeah, so let's get these out of the way
a little bit 'cause we actually have a chart.
So, what I did Bob,
was I calculated out, because all these
are different amounts of volume.
- Yeah, right.
- So it's a little misleading.
If you look on this one, it says the amounts of,
or grams of sugar in there but it's only for eight ounces
and we got a 28 ounce container.
- Oh, sure.
- So it's deceiving.
- Yeah, you think you're not getting
that much sugar but we'll find out the truth.
- Yeah, exactly.
- We get to the bottom of things.
- There you go. - We're like detectives.
- So, here we got the drinks here.
We got our Coke and Pepsi, kind of the not so good ones,
and we got the baseline, water,
and then the other five drinks, here.
- Again, based on 16 ounces.
- 16 ounces, exactly right. - Okay, got ya.
- We've got the sugar amounts, the calories, and the sodium.
Remember sodium's important, you need to get that
in your body when you're perspiring.
- So it's interesting enough, you can actually drink Pepsi
and Coke and get a decent amount of sodium.
- Probably not enough.
- But look at this, Bodyarmor doesn't even have
as much sodium as Pepsi and Coke so,
- Yeah, that's a little strange.
- That's really not, doesn't fit
the category of a sports drink.
It's true it has coconut water in it
and it has other electrolytes,
which are healthy but again, sodium's critical.
- According to the research, you saw.
- Exactly, which is on the video from one week ago.
- Right, before.
- Yep, so let's look at the sugar content.
Pepsi and Coke, they're about the same,
55, 52, Bodyarmor, 36 grams.
- Which is a lot of sugar to take in, for a sports drink,
or let's say again, you're just using it as,
maybe your outdoor working, I mean,
and you wanna do electrolytes,
that's a lot of sugar to take in.
- You just don't need that much sugar.
- You don't need that sugar, you don't need it at all.
- So I put Bodyarmor,
kinda in the category of Pepsi and Coke.
It doesn't have as much but it doesn't have much sodium
so it's really, doesn't even fit in the category.
- I think we should take a marker and go like this.
- Yes, that poor company, they're not gonna like us.
What about Powerade and Gatorade,
their sugar content is down, so that's better,
and the calories always relates to the sugar.
- Sure.
So I'm not gonna spend too much time on that,
but you can look at that, and the sodium is much greater,
as you can see, 200, 211 milligrams, so that's--
- But this really, to me, is not great yet.
- It's not.
- I mean, why take in that sugar when you're trying
to be healthy and, you know what I mean?
- Right, exactly.
- You just don't need it.
- So, they rate better but there's still too much sugar.
- I would still take an X and cross those out.
- Okay, let's do that.
Now, I do have to say one thing.
- I'm gonna grab a marker.
- Bob is getting excited here.
- Keep talking.
- So, Powerade and Gatorade do have
a sugar-free version though, Bob.
- [Bob] Okay, oh that's right.
- But I do need to mention that,
'cause I gotta give 'em credit for that.
- [Bob] Sure.
- But I don't know if many people drink it.
I've drank it, it doesn't taste very good.
It leaves an after taste in my mouth.
- The diet form?
- Yeah, whatever.
- Pep, sugar-free, that form.
- Yeah, the sugar-free, Gatorade
was what I had, that wasn't bad.
- So we've crossed this one out, we crossed this one out,
we definitely, crossed this one out.
These are more question marks, right?
- Yep.
- But still probably cross out, I mean these are,
- Well, if we want the best, we're gonna cross 'em out.
- Okay.
- Now we're gonna go to some of the less common ones
and this is one, it comes in a packet.
You have to mix it with water, a little package drink here,
and it's called Liquid IV, so quite a--
- We're not endorsing any of these.
I mean, we don't have any arrangement
with any of these companies,
- No.
- none whatsoever.
- Whatsoever, we're just letting it out.
- So, Liquid IV has 11 grams of sugar,
which is quite a bit better than the rest of 'em.
The calories is 50, better, and look at the sodium in that,
500 milligrams, it outweighs everything else.
- So now, if you are one that is watching your sodium
and you want some but you don't want too much,
maybe the Liquid IV wouldn't be for you.
- It may be too much.
- Yeah, maybe too much.
- If you don't have a problem with sodium intake
and you're doing aggressive exercise,
that would probably be better for you, although,
we look at the Nuun, is that how you,
- Yep.
- And this happens to be what works for you, right?
- Yep, this is what I used
and this is what my doctor recommended.
- And it comes in a little cute container like this.
- Yeah, little containers and I just take the tablet
and what I do is, I just take it in a regular bottle
of water and put it in there and it fizzles and it,
- It dissolves
- And it dissolves.
- Yeah, you don't just eat the tablet?
- You did that one day, I saw that.
- Well, it's kind of fun, it bubbles in your mouth.
- Yeah, it bubbles in your mouth.
- They make candy like that.
- I like the taste and I'll use it when I'm golfing
'cause I walk when I golf and it just seems to give me
a little boost too, maybe it's all psychological.
- Well, yeah, who knows.
- Yeah, but I mean, you look at that, one gram of sugar,
- Right.
- only 15 calories, and that's enough
salt for me, apparently.
- Right, 360 milligrams.
- And the electrolytes and so to me,
that is the answer, and we're comparing it all to water,
which water is great but water does not give you
electrolytes and it doesn't give you salt.
- Right, so when you're perspiring a lot,
water is definitely, a good thing
to drink but you go the next step.
- And that's the problem is, I was just drinking water
and it washes you out, it washes out
your electrolytes and you get too low on those
and then all of a sudden, you're,
- Dizzy or lightheaded.
- Yeah, that's me.
- And I did wanna bring up one point here
because I took the time to figure out
how much sugar was in this bottle
of Bodyarmor. - Of Bodyarmor.
- And this is it, 72 grams.
- Look at that, that's a lot of sugar.
- Yeah, so you could just take some water,
take the sugar, eat the sugar, wash it down.
- Put a little salt in there.
- Yeah, then it'd be the same, but cheaper.
- Yeah, Bodyarmor's not gonna like us.
- They are not gonna like us.
- But you know what, that's fine because we're here for you.
- That's right.
- We're not here for the brands.
- So, there you go, now you're educated.
Look on what you're drinking.
Now you know what you need to know,
and these two that are down here,
I think I'm gonna go for one of those,
particularly, yesterday, two days ago,
I was out bicycling and it was hot and humid.
Humidity was way up there and I could tell it.
It just zapped me.
- Sure, yeah.
- And I just drank water, I didn't have anything to mix.
- Yeah, I'd be curious to see if you feel better,
even, you know, without, I get the symptoms
but I feel better when I do it.
It's almost like a meal when I'm out there.
I don't, that's just my thought.
- Well, I think people who do serious
long distance events would attest to that.
- Yeah.
- That are very, you know, like Ironman,
a lot of times, those things that go for hours.
- Yeah, if you do Ironman, put your comments below.
I'd like to hear what you have to say.
- Wisconsin Ironman's gonna come up this Saturday.
- Oh, is it really?
- Yeah, big event, there's 2,000 people are gonna do the--
- Where's it done at?
- Madison, Wisconsin, didn't I say that?
- No, you said Wisconsin.
- Oh, Wisconsin, yeah, Madison.
- All right, thanks everybody for watching.
- Read Rambo on another tangent.
