HEALTH BENEFITS OF HYDRATION

Healthy adults should drink at least 1½ to 2 quarts (about 2 liters) of fluids a day to maintain water balance and to protect against dehydration, development of kidney stones, and other medical problems. There is also a thing as drinking too much water and becoming overhydrated. This can be very dangerous and can lead to a condition called hyponatremia. Symptoms of which include nausea, vomiting, headache, and fatigue. To avoid this problem, remember not to drink to the point that you are full from water alone.

The best time to consume fluids is before one is thirsty. So by the time you are thirsty, the body is already dehydrated. It is best to drink on a scheduled time when it is hot outside. It is advisable to avoid drinks that contain caffeine or alcohol while in the sun or heat. These types of drinks stimulate the production of urine, thereby promoting dehydration. Sports drinks & energy drinks help to replace some of the electrolytes you lose through sweat and provide carbohydrate energy to working muscles.
