Gatorade and its electrolytes are better than water for recharging and rehydrating after or during significant physical activity.

Basically, you are correct that an appropriate amount of salts helps you rehydrate more quickly.

You know what is even better for most people, if your daily caloric intake is not at Olympic levels?

Pedialyte. No where near as much sugar thrown in, more Vitamins, less carbs.

This article goes into it a bit more:

https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/pedialyte-vs-gatorade#bottom-line

Basically, Gatorade's additional sugar and carbs mean that it makes sense if you are highly active, have a considerably above average physique, or actively drinking it mid work out or other strenuous activity.

For more average people, pedialyte probably makes more sense.

Especially if you are going to pick one to replace water.

While I agree with you, Gatorade released a Pedialyte competitor called Gatorlyte recently. Similar benefits but half the price. I'd recommend that (or a similarly cheap option if another exists) to keep from breaking the bank.

Well dang, I have never heard of that!

I'll have to see if anywhere around me carries it

The gatorlyte also is way less sweet than the pedialyte. When my some was sick and throwing up we got him some pedialyte and he wouldn’t drink it because it was so sweet.

After he refused I tried some and agreed it was disgustingly sweet. Made me feel good about the watered down apple juice (and usually water and milk for lunches).
