Yes, water, is the best sport drink! It really is, although there are probably as many sport drinks and fancy waters today as there are sneaker styles. Water is a vital nutrient and we need to drink enough of it before, during and after exercise because it's not only crucial for our ability to perform, but later as we go through our day. Now that we're all watching the Olympics, let's discuss good old fashioned water so we're reminded to drink up when we exercise!
Water is the primary component of our blood which carries all nutrients and waste to and from our cells. It is also part of the chemical structure of stored fuel in our body's cells, which is broken down to supply energy. A fat burning review can help you build a clear outline of what you require to focus on to complete your fat loss objective if you're a novice; or serve as a reminder for the ones who are at an intermediate or more enhance level of their weight-loss strategy. Promptly after are seven steps that can serve as suggestions for your own weight loss plan. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not a similar thing. Many weight loss plans have fooled people into believing that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss plans only work by causing a person's body to reduce more muscle tissue and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. This means that our ability to store and release energy is impaired if we are dehydrated. Why? Every time we store fuel (glycogen is made from carbohydrates) in our muscles, it gets chemically bound with water! When the stored fuel is broken down to produce energy currency, water is released during the process (part of it is released in our sweat and through respiration).
Water, and Sport Nutrition.
- Dehydration is one of the most common reasons for fatigue during exercise and a common reason for general fatigue.
- Starting to drink water at the beginning of an exercise session may be too late.
- Exercising under 90 minutes? Water is most likely all we need as long as we've eaten food recently.
- Cool water does not cause stomach cramps and cool water is absorbed faster into our blood stream.
- Drinking water does not cause water retention.
- Thirst is not a good indicator of our water or fluid needs.
Children and older adults do not have as an acute thirst mechanism as healthy adults.
Now, because summer is here, we may need to drink even more water especially if we're exercising in hot humid weather. When the humidity is high, our body uses more water to keep our core body temperature down. Here are some drinking tips for when we exercise.
Let's
- Drink 2 cups (on the average) 1 hour prior to exercise (up to 1 quart may be consumed 1 hour pre-exercise for more intense sessions).
- Drink 1/2 cup every 15 minutes during exercise (let's keep that water bottle close by).
- Weigh ourselves periodically before and after our exercise or sport activity. We can tell if we are hydrated and drinking enough water (this is especially important for endurance activities) if our weight doesn't change. If we've lost weight after our exercise session (remember this is water weight loss, not fat) then we have not taken in enough water for optimum performance.
- Drink cool water. Water temperature should be cool, not room temperature. Cool water empties from the stomach faster, reaching our blood stream and cells faster!
- Drink a low -carbohydrate solution sports drink (Gatorade is a good one), if our exercise session exceeds 90 minutes or we're Olympians, of course.
Some signs other than general fatigue that may mean we're not drinking enough water and we might be dehydrated are mild headaches, feeling cold, dry mouth, faster heart rate than usual during exercise and even nausea (let's see our doctor for any persistent symptoms and not diagnose ourselves) .
I'd like to ask my readers who are enjoying from my tips to take a moment to please help me save my beloved companion dog Teddy of 10 years. After several months of treatment she has turned a wonderful corner toward recovery; but it has come at a cost that is overhelming to me. Please go to http://www.giveforward.com/teddysfund to help me if you can. Any one time amount no matter how small would be so gratefully appreciated. And to thank you for your donation, I will send a complimentary link to my popular weight loss screen saver program (Just send me your email address). I thank you.
Here's to "Water, "The Best Sport Drink" giving us lot's of energy!
