What should your drinking water have? How can you ensure optimum hydration?
There’s no question that water plays a vital role in ensuring our bodily organs can function properly and survive in the long run, along with proper nutrition, exercise, and adequate sleep. Drinking water aids in rehydration and quenches our thirst. It also helps regulate body temperature and makes up more than half of our body weight! Water does wonders for our body but, how does hydration even work? How much water do our bodies need to reach their full potential?
We sat with Matt Jones, Performance Nutritionist of West Ham F.C. in London, to talk about the importance of hydration and how you can set yourself up for success by knowing when and how to hydrate if you are an athlete! Along with these, we go deeper with insights into how professional athletes survive their training that help them clinch a win. Importance of Hydration
Matt frames the importance of hydration through the athletes he has worked with and how the general population can benefit from reimagining healthy hydration. As we take on the day to finish what we have on our plates—may it be in the literal sense that is food or for those who have jobs in the form of work—drinking water whenever we can seems the top-of-mind answer in ensuring optimum hydration.
However, instead of grabbing a coffee as the immediate drink of choice, Matt highlights rehydrating with water first. “Hydration status or fluid balance is an ongoing process. [...] Starting the day, the priority every day should be rehydration. Most people wake up and grab a cup of coffee or something. A fact is they should probably drink around half a liter of water to start rehydration as quickly as possible.
