We all have our favorite flavors of Gatorade. But do you know where it came from?

History of GatoradeIn 1965, Gatorade

was formulated by a team of researchers

in the state of Florida. This included Robert Cade, Dana Shiers,

Harry James Free, and Alejandro de

Quesada.

Before it was called Gatorade, it was called“Cade’s Aid” or “Cade’s Cola” after Dr. Robert Cade.

Gatorade was created on request of the head Florida coach to aid athletes by acting as a hydrating drink for lost body fluids lost during practice or games

in hot weather.

Both are Right!

If you're engaging in intense exercise, sports drinks can provide you with that extra bit of energy needed to keep going. Sports drinks can also help you rehydrate more.

It becomes a problem when people start to consume sports drinks outside of physical activity, and when sports-drink consumption become a part of the daily routine.
