Hydration in Bodybuilding
By Tim Santorini
So many people don't realize how important it is to keep your
body hydrated, especially during work out. Also most of them will
work out too much adding to the negative effect dehydration can
have. What is really concerning is that in bad conditions like
extreme warmth and an excessively long work out with lack of
water several incidents like strokes can happen. This should be
avoided and it helps more than you'd imagine if you drink enough
water.
Water is a big part of our body (55 to 75% of our body weight)
and also think about the fact that blood is 90% formed of water.
Now just think about it! What can happen if your blood does not
have enough water? It's very simple, it will thicken and the natural
flow of it will be damaged. Also, the muscle is formed of 70-80%
water.
Many people ask: how can they know how much water to drink
during a workout? It is a simple procedure that should be
followed. All you have to do is weigh yourself before exercising
and you have to have the same weight when the work out is
done. If you weigh less then you are dehydrated.
On the other hand drinking too much water will lead to a condition
called Hyponatremia. This can also lead in extreme cases to
serious accidents like strokes and comas. Too much water is also
bad as you can see.
The kidneys are very important in our body when talking about
hydration as they regulate the fluids by controlling the flow of
urine. Have you ever noticed the difference in color of the urine? If
it is excessively clear then you are over hydrated and if it is too
dark then you are dehydrated.
Be attentive to the levels of hydration in your work out. As you can
see it is very important and as a general rule it will also help you
have a better and more productive exercise session.
