Keeping yourself hydrated is easily the most important area you need to keep covered.
You can do without food maybe for 50 days, and this is if you are on hunger strike!
You can do without water for…………5 days and you will be close to death!!!!
It’s the middle of january and the priority for you maybe just to keep warm, have warm drinks and cold water may not be a priority for you. This is a big mistake for you.
To enable you to perform well and close to your potential, sipping water throughout the day can and will be a big help to you. During exercise, it is even more important and cools down to your body’s temperature, which is vital during the time you exercise.
Avoid the sugary energy drinks too, they are not needed UNLESS you do 60 minutes of continuous exercise or more. So for most people, all they do is put excess sugar in your system, and rot your teeth!!!
Since your body is slighly over 70% water, then it makes perfect sense for you to take your hydration levels very seriously.
A sign if you’re dehydrated is if you’re thirsty, the problem is that you are already a fair bit dehydrated so this will significantly hinder your performance and the way you feel! Don’t rely on your thirst to tell you when you need water, sipping at regular intervals throughout the day will help you overcome this stage.
Water is the number on way to make your skin healthier too. You will have a glow about you and there will be no need for so called “wonder” moisturisers!!
The bottom line is that water is your number one important friend for your day, don’t leave home without it!!!
Hi Keri, just getting back online after 3 weeks of not being able to. Have a new laptop. and finally getting used to it, it has Windows 8, it so different. Been back in the Gym a week now, getting back into it slowly. Dropped 3 Ibs last week, having said that we took Jasmine down the Sidan yesterday and I have a very painful left knee, trying to keep up with her up and down the dunes.
Managed to get 5 days in last week, hoping to do the same this week.
that is exellent news jean! The sand can be a nightmare for your knee, especially the soft sand up the dunes!!
glad to hear you doing well, and always great to hear from you, keep it coming!
