I love running and it really takes a lot of energy
to do that. When I run, I sweat a lot and that means I need to rehydrate myself
and now a days, water is not enough. Yes, water is what our body needs (8 glass
of water per day is the recommended requirement), but there are things that we
do that needs more than water itself
What we drink and how many times we drink is the key
to a healthy and happy life. Too often, though, many of us think of only two
elements as we go through our daily challenges in work or at home: food and
fitness. It does not matter how many diet plans we missed or exercise regimens
that we did not complete; at the back of our minds, we believe that it is
essential to eat the right foods and perform physical activities regularly if
we are to meet the demands in our personal and professional spheres.
All this is well and good, but it still lacks the
third, and unfortunately often-ignored, aspect that is also important to our
physical and mental well-being: hydration. In the medical sense, hydration
means “adding water to our body.” To many of us, this means following the
age-old rule taught to us since childhood that is to drink eight glasses of
water a day. It is a healthy advice that we try to follow but often overlook.
How many of us do make it a point to take that much amount of water intake? And
if we fail, chances are we shrug it off – or try to compensate by substituting
our favorite drinks such as soda, coffee, juices, iced tea, energy drinks, or
even beer and liquor.
