A very simple but important for a healthy life and a strong body is to drink pure water frequently. One, within the great benefits of drinking water aguatrae is dragging the impurities from the body, taking the poisonous matter from the stomach and thoroughly clean the kidneys. In addition to dragging the waste from the digestive system, is an element that gives life because it contains oxygen and minerals in value. Like all things, there is a correct method of drinking water is important to follow certain guidelines:
- Drinking 6 to 8 glasses of pure water (natural, tasteless and water) a day.
- Do not drink water with meals to avoid carrying food.
- Drink water half an hour or half hour before meals depues, but in moderation.
- If you are very thirsty during the meals, water should be taken to remove only the essentials.
- Do not drink water in great gulps.
- Drink water slowly, mixing it with saliva, as if it “chews” solid food.
- Not drinking ice water because if water is cool the stomach, and retards the natural action of gastric juices and digestive system is affected.
- Neither hot drinks, why burn the stomach with boiling liquids?
- If you are very thirsty, refresh the mouth but by swallowing the water.
- The water should always be fresh, natural, neither cold nor hot.
Avoid water that has been exposed for some time, in this case fan them changing it from one glass to another. It is important to satisfy your thirst. If you drink water late at night we may need to get up at a time inconvenient to go to the bathroom when you have no desire to wait to remove these wastes to retain as much damage occurs to the body.
We must always have on hand a glass of pure water, because drinking it between meals often eliminates toxins and allowed to grow new tissue.
Dehydration: In humans, dehydration triggers something similar to what happens to plants when they do not irrigate, the skin becomes less elastic, dry and wrinkled by the lack of liquid.
The golden rule to keep the body hydrated is “drinking water”.
When the body loses only 1% of liquid is the sensation of thirst, when this loss is 2%, reduces endurance performance, and from 5% can cause accelerated heartbeat, listlessness, vomiting and spasms muscle. Human beings can not sustain a loss of more than 15% liquid.
In newborns it represents 80% of total body weight. Women have a lower percentage of water, due to the greater amount of fat from your body. The fat contains little water, whereas in muscle it accounts for approximately 77%.
Under normal circumstances, our body needs between 1.5 and 2 liters of water a day. If fluid loss increases because of heat, physical exertion or for similar reasons, this amount may be increased to 10 liters a day.
During physical training, the muscles produce much heat and the body must be removed by sweating. When the body heats up, the sweat glands produce large amounts of sweat (perspiration), thus losing fluid, we must recover to maintain water balance and regulate body temperature.
MEET THE NEEDS OF LIQUID:
To hydrate the body must be able to recognize: what needs to drink?, When? and why? Keep in mind that some drinks provide fluid, such as “water”, but not energy, while others for their energy if they are composed.
Drinks taken by athletes during the practice of an activity must meet the energy needs and prevent dehydration. Such drinks have replaced the function of the liquid has evaporated through sweat and disuleto minerals in it. Moreover, its composition should allow rapid absorption by the body. To be clear, with every liter of sweat lost between 2.7 and 3 grams of minerals.
Hydration during exercise:
YOU MUST TAKE:
· Beverages with amino acids or sodium. Ex Gatorade
· Fluids with energizing ingredients.
· Drinks taste good.
· Natural temperature liquids.
· Easy and quick to absorb by the body
DO NOT HAVE TO TAKE:
· Soft drinks and alcohol.
· Drinks with lots of sugar, because it slows the absorption.
· Fruit juices.
· Drinks with caffeine.
· Drinks hot or cold.
To avoid dehydration during a workout should always “swallow liquid. Many times we see a gymnastics class and noticed that a person is pale and coordination fails him, and this explains the importance of hydration.
The time to drink fluids is one or two hours before beginning the training, during training, taking in small sips and after the activity to avoid a slump. By maintaining the water balance we achieve a better physical performance, both in motor skills and in the mood.
