The Importance of Hydration When Working Out in Summer
We love summer. The sun on our bodies, long
hours of daylight and warm temperatures. It’s great for getting outside,
getting some vitamin D in our system and improving our moods.
One thing that we do need to stay aware of though,
is our hydration levels.
Hydration is fundamental to human life. You
need to be keeping your hydration levels up if you want to maintain good
energy, good health and stay fit.
Of course, working out in the heat can
drain us. We sweat more than usual and we need to make sure we are actively
replacing lost fluids.
The urine test is the simplest way to check
your hydration levels. Simply look at the colour, if it is see-through, you are
well hydrated. The darker it is, the more dehydrated you are.
To replace lost fluids, you should drink
pure water (squeeze in some fresh lemon, lime, or orange juice if you want to
flavour). Especially while working out, make sure you keep hydrated. Don’t wait
until you’re thirsty to drink. By then you are usually already dehydrated.
Pre-emptively keep your hydration up to make sure you stay energetic, avoid headaches, lethargy, and the other effects of dehydration.
