Hydration Secret #5
Three Stages of Exercise Hydration - The rules
The Hydration Therapy Special Report contains a rule book you can follow to ensure you achieve and maintain the perfect fluid balance before, during and following your sporting event.
This rule book will become your welcome friend in your goal to achieve your sporting goals. The rules are simple to follow, backed up by the latest sports science research, and available exclusively in this very special report.
Pre Exercise
Make sure your normal diet contains plenty of water and a minimum of other substances known to impair hydration
Post Exercise
Drinks containing electrolytes (especially sodium) stimulate the desire to drink and may therefore be preferable to plain water. There’s also evidence that these drinks are absorbed more efficiently from the small intestine, especially when carbohydrate is present
Hydrating Yourself DURING your event
1. Weather and exercise intensity affect fluid needs; the higher the temperature, humidity and exercise intensity, the greater the rate of fluid replacement required
2. Never experiment with a new drink during competition. Try it in training first to see how your body tolerates it! |
