One of the most important things you can do to support your health, training, and recovery is to stay properly hydrated. Water makes up a large percentage of our bodies and is essential for regulating body temperature, transporting nutrients and oxygen, and removing waste products.
When we exercise we sweat, losing water and electrolytes. If we don't replenish these fluids we can become dehydrated, leading to muscle cramps, fatigue, headaches and decreased performance — and in extreme cases, danger.
So, what does good hydration look like? The general recommendation is at least 8 cups (64 ounces) of water per day, varying with age, weight, activity level and climate. Other fluids like herbal tea, coconut water and sports drinks also help. Listen to your body and drink when you feel thirsty.
The benefits of good hydration — Improved athletic performance: your body functions at its best, improving endurance, strength and power. Quicker recovery: water flushes metabolic waste from the muscles, reducing soreness. Increased energy: staying hydrated boosts energy and keeps you alert and focused. Better digestion: water prevents constipation and promotes regularity. Clearer skin: hydration flushes out toxins and keeps skin plump.
