Why is it so important to stay hydrated?
Water is your body's principal chemical component and makes up
about 60 percent of your body weight. Every system in your body depends on water.
Whether you’re a
serious athlete or a recreational exerciser, it’s important to make sure you
get the right amount of water before, during, and after exercise. Water
regulates your body temperature and lubricates your joints. It also helps
transport nutrients to give you energy and keep you healthy. If you’re not
properly hydrated, your body can’t perform at its highest level. You may
experience fatigue, muscle cramps, dizziness, or more serious symptoms.
A simple way to
make sure you’re staying properly hydrated is to check your urine. If your
urine is consistently colourless or light yellow, you are most likely staying
well hydrated. Dark yellow urine is a sign of dehydration.
How much water do you need?
Every day you lose water through your breath,
perspiration, urine and bowel movements. For your body to function properly,
you must replenish its water supply by consuming beverages and foods that
contain water.
