Drinking water should be an essential part of your fitness regimen. Not only does it help regulate your body temperature when you work out, it also protects and moisturizes your joints. The brain, which consists of 90% water, becomes fatigued when you don’t get enough H2O. This can give you a migraine headache or cause you to feel tired and achy all over.
You won’t want to sleep or hit the gym after work once you have shown signs of dehydration. In fact, you can get seriously ill from not drinking an adequate amount of water. Cancer, heart attacks, and kidney stones can be prevented by replacing lost fluid.
You may ask yourself, “How much H2O do I need to survive?” Doctors recommend drinking at least eight 8 ounce glasses a day. That is because water cleanses the body of impurities, helps with metabolism, and protects your vital organs. Simply put, it is the one beverage that is calorie-free and 100% necessary for your body to function.
While working out, your body will perspire which causes you to lose up to 4 cups of water. That is why it is so important to keep a sports bottle filled with the clear stuff with you at all times, especially when you’re at the gym. If you want to lose weight and feel great, make H2O your drink of choice.
