The One Thing You Don’t Want to Forget this Summer!
HYDRATION MAKES A DIFFERENCE
The One Thing You Don’t Want to Forget this Summer! Water is your best friend. We’ve talked in the past about staying hydrated, and going into the summer months, it’s a subject worth repeating. With more people spending time outdoors and getting more activity, having water nearby is crucial!
As a general rule of thumb, it’s important to remember that by the time you feel thirsty, your body may already be in the early stages of dehydration. Over time, if you are unable to drink water, the symptoms are likely to present themselves. The exact symptoms can vary from person to person, but you’re likely to notice that something isn’t right.
Did you know that as little as a 2% loss of body water can significantly impact your performance? Without proper hydration, your body is put under extra stress as you hike, bike, run, or swim — or participate in virtually any other activity. The more water you lose, the further your performance decreases. More than that, however, dehydration can lead to a whole host of symptoms, most of which can be detrimental to your overall health. Here are a few common symptoms:
Another thing to keep in mind is that physical activity and exercise can blunt your thirst mechanism. As your body works (and sweats) you are unlikely to feel thirsty until after you’ve completed your activity and your body has a chance to “catch up.” But again, once you feel thirst, your body is already in need of water. Staying hydrated isn’t the easiest thing to remember. As you’re out and about or exercising, you can forget to take a drink along the way. The best way to remedy this is to always keep a bottle of water within arm’s reach so as you lose water, you can continually replenish that lost H2O — and maintain your peak performance!
