I am assuming so as to you already know the worth of water to life. For a substance that has zero nutritional value, it is the most critical aspect to health and wellbeing. Here we are going to discuss hydration; but more specifically, over-hydration and de-hydration and how you can use water to drink like a world class endurance athlete. Whether you exercise or not, but even more when you do exercise, you burn glycogen, protein, and fat just by waking up in the morning. The more you exercise, the more you are outside in the heat, or the more you stay in a sauna, the more active your body? F (37? C). The most important part of your body? Think of sweat as a sprinkler system pro your body; it accounts for 75% of all your cooling. Sweating by itself really does not do your body any good; sweating alone does not cool you down. When you sweat, your body takes the heat that it has generated to keep it within that magical 98.6F and puts it into a liquid form (what we call sweat) and excretes it through your skin.
Then it relies on the environment (sun, wind, etc.) to turn that liquid into a gas, which contains your body heat. Therefore, the remaining liquid on your skin is cooler because the heat molecules are gone, making you feel cooler. Super slick stuff right there. Outside temperatures greatly affect the cooling effectiveness and production of sweat on your body. In hot weather, where there is little difference between your body heat and outside temperature, you are going to need to sweat more to keep your temperature at that magical 98.6F. In cooler weather, you won? Another factor such as humidity plays a big role in how your body? In general, however, I think you get the idea of how sweat, weather and the environment play a role in your body? If not, just know that your body uses sweat and the environment to cool you off. On my Audi I have a gauge that tells me when I need more coolant; it also has a gauge for telling me when my brake pads are low and when I need oil.
Using averages, you lose about 1 liter (2 water bottles) of fluid per one hour of exercise. 3 hours, so from the time I leave my house to the time I get back, I lose about 3 liters of water; more if it emotional and clammy, less if its cold and dry. I have about 90 minutes of glycogen (sugar) stored in my muscles; if you? If not, you could take about 30 minutes off that. 30 minutes to that time. Lance Armstrong quality athlete, you could add another 15 minutes to that time. The endurance exercise outcome is to postpone Tiredness, not replace all the fuel, fluids and electrolytes lost during the event.? Dr. Bill Misner- Replacement vs. Under extreme conditions, you can absorb roughly 1 liter (2 water bottles) of water per hour. During normal exercise, however, about half of that can be expected. How much is too much? Just above I said you cannot drink enough to replace what you?
The reason is that since sweat contains Sodium Salt, you cannot drink Sodium water and have it absorbed into the body at the same rate you? In a study done with ultra marathoners who tried to drink as much water as possible during a race, it was found that eventually a symptom called hyponatremia (low blood sodium) took effect. This symptom will collapse even an ultra endurance athlete. An even worse situation is a symptom called hypotonic (low blood electrolyte content) when there is not enough sodium or electrolytes, this is the big double whammy. A situation like this will put down even an ultra marathoner. How to get it right. I do on my Audi, a bit of trial and error is necessary. 740ml) is sufficient for generally people in good physical condition. So basically, about a water bottle and half per hour of exercise and you should be good to go. 1 water bottle should be good. Use your best judgment and listen to your body.
