AND WHAT YOU CAN DO TO STAY HYDRATED THIS SUMMER

Did this statement make you feel guilty while you tried to remember the last time you had a glass of water?
Whether you are an athlete, someone who exercises for recreation, or even someone who doesn't regularly workout, Water is a part of our daily nutrition, and a very important part at that. Drinking the right amount of water regularly helps us to lose weight, enhances the mood and keeps diseases at bay. These are just a few of the many reasons why water is good for us and why it should be given the right importance in our daily routine.
The problem is that most of us drink water just when we feel thirsty. Even then, more often than not, we find ourselves replacing water with unhealthy, carbonated substitutes. In order to develop any healthy habit, it is important for us to understand why we need it. Keeping this in mind, here are a few reasons why hydration is important.
1) Hydration improves physical performance

2) Hydration boosts your mood

3) Hydration helps you lose weight

Water also helps lubricate your joints, regulates your body temperature and is a vehicle to transport essential nutrients required by your body. Staying hydrated prevents cramps, dizziness and other dehydration symptoms.
Now that we know the importance of staying hydrated, the next big questions are, What is the best way to stay hydrated? Is just water enough? What's the deal with sports drinks?
Is water enough?
Any time you lose fluids, you don't lose just water. You also lose electrolytes. Electrolytes- sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphate- are basically responsible for regulating the amount of fluids in your body. They also stimulate your nerves and muscles. Electrolytes are important as they can affect blood pressure, cellular function etc. Hence, it is important to replenish the electrolytes you lose, especially if you are exercising at high intensity or are involved in intensive physical activity.
What about sports drinks?
Yes, it is right that sports drinks do contain vitamins and electrolytes that plain water can't give you. Using sports drinks containing electrolytes can help increase your performance and will replenish what you lose when you sweat. But it is important to choose your sports drink carefully. Sports drinks sometimes are loaded with sugar and contain high sodium levels. This may increase your calorie intake. Some sports drink also contain caffeine, so if you are not a fan of caffeine, read the label properly.
