Is Water Your Best Sport Drink

Is Water Your Best Sport Drink
From an athletic point of view, being dehydrated can have
devastating effects on your performance. Not only does your
body slow down but your brain function is reduced, get
dizzy, vomiting and an increase in the bodies core
temperature.

Now consider that most of the population do not drink
enough water, I recently read a statistic that claimed that
1 in 10 people did not drink any water at all! Most of us
are relying on other forms of fluids throughout the day,
some are more evil than others.

So it is highly likely that you are dehydrated all of the
time, to some extent. This effects your concentration, your
mood, and your energy levels throughout the day, just like
it effects your sporting performance, it massively effects
your professional performance too.

The corporate athlete often depends on excessive caffeine
fixes, from coffee, teas and so called performance drinks
to keep them going throughout the day, just water is just
never entertained as an option!

The sodas out of your company snack machine are nothing
more than a sugary fix which will just add to your
waistline. Step away from these at all costs.

The problem is all these false fluids do not hydrate your
body in the same way as plain water, and in many cases
cause further dehydration.

To get the best out of your body the solution is really
simple and obvious.

- Drink more water! To keep things simple, for every 50lbs
of weight you should be drinking a litre of water per day!

- Avoid ALL other types of fluid intake PERIOD.

- Get into a habit of having a full litre and half bottle
of water on your desk in the morning and make sure it is
finished by lunch, then start again for the afternoon

- And if fat loss is your primary goal, then taking a
serious look at your alcohol intake should be your first
assignment.

- Drop the alcohol completely from today for 21 days and
your body will shed inches like you wouldn't believe!

Once you are getting the water intake your body needs to
function properly, your sporting performances will see an
improvement, and you will certainly stay more alert through
your normal working day too.

Other benefits of proper water intake include massively
improved skin condition, the way your body eliminates waste
will be improved. You'll also stop getting so many
headaches and get less digestive problems too.

Whilst drinking water is not so interesting, the benefits
are certainly worth the tiny amount of effort of starting
today for the next 21 days. I am sure you'll see the
benefits immediately and miss it if you stop again!
