With your body consisting of more than two thirds of our total weight, it is essential to our health and wellbeing. In fact the human brain in 95% water, blood 82% and lungs about 90%.
Letting our selves become dehydrated by even as little as 2% can result in:
- Diminished short term memory
- Fatigue
- Muscle cramps
- Nausea and vomiting
- Heart palpitations
- Light headedness or fainting
By the time you feel thirsty your body is already dehydrated so it’s important to drink water throughout the day.
A rough guide is of the amount to drink is 60ml per 1kg of body weight per day. So a 60kg woman would drink 3.6L of water per day with an additional 1L per hour of exercise.
So drink up my healthy friends!
Also, remember that working out should be fun and not a chore! Yes you should work out but make it a game and think of it as your playtime! Exercise is your reward to your body! Workout with a buddy to help motivate each other and, quite literally, spend quality time together. Your body and mind will thank you for it.
