Are you an athlete? Water is your best ally

Are you an athlete? Water is your best ally Did you know that the human body is mostly made up of water? It is not strange that our life depends on this liquid. But if you practice some type of physical activity such as running, cycling or walking, then you should develop the habit of ingesting it at all hours.

The loss of 20% of the water in the body can be fatal. Among the main functions are: Regulate heat, elimination of metabolic waste, lubrication of the joints, as well as helps the transport and absorption of nutrients, among others.

How does our body dehydrate?

Water is lost through sweat generated by the increase in body temperature, hence its thermoregulatory function. Also, in urine, feces, breathing, speech, and the insensitive perspiration of the skin at rest are other ways of releasing water from our body.

When and how much water to drink?

It is necessary to develop the habit of drinking eight glasses of water a day. Even if you are not thirsty, because by the time we feel it, our body is slightly dehydrated. If you are going to practice sports, you should increase the dose, before you do the activity.

If you care about performance, stay hydrated. With a two to three percent weight loss due to perspiration, it decreases up to 20% of sports performance.
