Water is one of the most essential components of the human body. It regulates the body’s temperature, cushions and protects vital organs and aids the digestive system. Water not only composes 75% of all muscle tissue
Water must be consumed to replace the amount lost each day during basic activities. Active individuals need even more, particularly if they’re exercising in hot weather.
For regular exercisers, maintaining a constant supply of water in the body is essential to performance. Dehydration leads to muscle fatigue and loss of coordination. Even small amounts of water loss may hinder an athletic performance.
Here are 4 tips to drink more water:
1. STRATEGIZE
If you find yourself so busy that you forget to drink enough water during the day, have a plan to help make it easier. Use a water bottle
2. FLAVOR Do you find the flavor of water to be, well, flavorless? Add some fresh fruit, use BCAAs, zero calorie flavors like crystal light or mio.
3. TEMPERATURE Try experimenting with the temperature of your water.
4. TEXTURE If you enjoy the texture of sparkling water, substitute it for regular water at any point during the day. Just make sure it isn't full of sugar.
