Drinking enough water daily is vital. Adequate water intake promotes healthy bodily temperature regulation, enhances mental clarity and emotional stability, lubricates joints, and facilitates easy digestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mayo Clinic<\/em><\/strong> recommends that the average person consume roughly 3 liters of fluid daily for men and 2 liters for women for optimal health.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, it’s recommended that individuals who must spend extended periods outside in intense heat and humidity consume at least one cup of water every 15 -20 minutes to stay <\/em>hydrated.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health always comes first, and staying <\/em><\/strong>hydrated<\/em><\/strong><\/a> is the key to being safe and healthy during summer.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Electrolytes<\/a> are vital minerals, including sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. In hot conditions, our body uses its electrolytes<\/a> to maintain fluid levels, among other things; therefore, these must be replenished and restored to ensure adequate hydration.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Electrolytes<\/a> help us retain a portion of the body’s water by preserving the ideal fluid balance and staying hydrated.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natural coconut water is an excellent source of electrolytes<\/a>, and many foods, such as dairy products, bananas, avocados, potatoes, lentils, melon, and leafy greens, are excellent providers of vital minerals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Athletes and people who sweat excessively may require extra electrolytes<\/a> to replenish their bodies during activity. Correct hydration<\/a> can be a performance-enhancing factor when playing a sport or activity in excessive heat and humid conditions. In this case, electrolytes<\/a> can be obtained in tested, safe sports hydration<\/a> drink supplements that can be mixed with water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Science in Sport Hydro<\/strong><\/a> is an effervescent tablet that dissolves in water. It was first developed to keep the British Sailing team optimally <\/em>hydrated<\/em><\/a> during the 2008 Beijing Olympics.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each tablet contains: Chloride: 269mg, Sodium: 345mg, Potassium: 65mg, Magnesium: 8.1mg, Calcium: 102mg<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dissolve 1 Hyrdo tablet in 500ml of water and consume 3-4 hours before your sporting event. Then, drink a further 250-500ml in the hour before starting. During shorter exercise, where carbohydrate intake is unnecessary, consume 500ml of hydro per hour. Once prepared, consume within 24 hours and do not consume more than 4 tablets daily.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
