Water is essential to life. It provides a fluid balance for all chemical
reactions in the body. Water makes up approximately 70% of your
body's weight. It is a lubricant and plays a vital role in regulating your
body temperature. Water flushes out toxins and waste from our bodies.
Exercise increases your water needs. If you find you don't sweat during
good workouts, most likely you are already dehydrated and need to
drink more water each day. Relying on your thirst is not an accurate
method to regulate your water intake. If you are thirsty during your
workouts you are already getting dehydrated. If you are dehydrated
you will fatigue earlier and lose coordination skills during a workout or
activity.
Alcohol and caffeine are diuretics, which dehydrate you. For each glass
of liquid containing these items, drink an extra glass of water to help
maintain proper hydration.
Tips to drinking enough water!
1. When your first wake up in the morning, drink a glass of water. (hydrate your brain)
2. Always keep water with you.
3. Drink a glass of water before meals.(You won't eat as much)
4. Drink 3-6 ounces of water every 10-15 minutes during a workout.
5. Drink 1/2 ounce of water per pound of your body weight per day.
For Example: a 200lb man needs at least 100 ounces a day.
