Rethinking Sports Drinks: Unmasking the Hidden Dangers | Dr Pal

Dr. Pal Manickam, gastroenterologist focused on gut health, sheds light on the widespread consumption of sports drinks among young kids. In this discussion, he reveals the truth behind the attractive facade of beverages like Gatorade and Vitamin Water, exposing them as nothing more than liquid sugars with minimal nutritional value.He emphasizes that most individuals, including both children and adults, who are not engaged in extended physical activities do not require the electrolytes and additional sugars provided by sports drinks. Instead, he proposes healthier alternatives such as plain water, tender coconut water, or a homemade concoction of water, lemon, raw honey, and sea salt. Join Dr.Pal in spreading awareness by sharing this message with your friends. It's time to rethink our choices and prioritize our health.

Dr.Pal - My son is of 12 years and he regularly watch your videos and follow the same, the good part is he is pushing me to follow too. Thanks a lot.

Certain Tender coconut package water contains a lot of added sugar… so stressing on natural tender coconut would help a lot of people too 😊

[krithika]

That lady waving 👋 was cute video bombing 😂good informative video doctor kids and many adults don’t know they don’t require it thanks for the information doctor

[maheshthakur]

Your videos are so very informative -
& so very beautifully put across with humour and punch

[sonofnithring]

sea salt is the main thing you need for hydration. you lose a lot of sodium when you sweat, and salt is the reason plain water doesn't feel as hydrating as some sports drinks. the problem is, they then dump a bunch of sugar into them to counteract the taste and make them taste good.

As a third-year student, I often find myself needing energy drinks to get through the day. My schedule is very busy, with classes, clubs, and studying. I usually don't get home until 5 or 6pm, and then I have to eat dinner and study for a few hours. This often keeps me up until midnight or later. I wake up at 5am the next day, which leaves me with very little sleep. To stay awake in class, I usually buy a Red Bull from the 7/11 near my school. I know that this may not be the healthiest choice, but it helps me to stay alert and focused. It significantly improves my focus during classes, I know that my decision is bad and I'll have to pay the price one day.

[shailaunaiz]

i hope you dont get any threats bcz you expose so many facts which will eventually bring down so many companies!! stay safe doc :)

[harshada]

It's good that you started adding captions. I saw a person comment that they were interested in what you're saying but couldn't understand it and I felt really bad.

[Zeus.thunder]

Gatorade gives me an instant boost and replenishment that water or tender coconut can never do

[mysalsa]

Gotta have 6 litres of Gatorade for my gaming session

[thedudewithvideos]

Dear Dr Pal I always used to say this to my friends and colleagues, these energy drinks or energy food products are nothing but chemicals, preservatives and liquid sugar. If these is consumed frequently, it will be carcinogenic to the body. I really hope you stay safe, since you targeted a bigger brand like Gatorade, they don't want the truth to come out. And they don't want a negative remark on their billion dollar brand, but glad that you showed us true facts with your balls of steel 💪💪🙏🏻🙏🏻

[SHASHANKVERMAHR]
