Water.
I know that most of us know what we should do, but still I find that most of us don’t do it, what you ask am I on about? Drinking water!
Here are the facts, and maybe some you don’t know.
- Drink between 2 – 2.5L per day.
- The body is between 55 – 75% water.
- Water is the base fluid of blood, which in turn transports nutrients around the body, and takes away waste.
- It’s vital for the body’s temperature control.
- Without it you will struggle to be rid of unwanted body fat.
- And, if you’re thirsty, you’re already dehydrated!
The chart to the side is an indicator, if your urine is one of the colours between 1 – 3 your ok! But if its between 4 – 8, your dehydrated!
When exercising remember to drink before (250-ml half an hour before), During, (125-ml every 15 minutes of exercise), and after (250-ml within half an hour of cessation) this aids the body to function at its optimum, and finally, if your in a hot country on holiday or training, more water!
