Fitness for life...

Did you know? Next to oxygen, water is the most important substance in the human body. It is used in every metabolic process (digestion, assimilation, elimination, respiration, and maintaining body temperature). If you are not drinking enough water, you are inhibiting nutrient and oxygen delivery to your brain and muscles, and you are slowing down your metabolic fat burning process. Your body is 50-60% water overall. Fat tissue is 20% water, and muscle, brains, and blood are all about 80% water. This means hydration levels affect both your mental and physical performance as well as your overall heath. Dehydration is defined as a loss of water equal to 1% + of bodyweight. If you are 70kg that is only 700g or 700ml, so if you are not actively drinking water throughout the day, you are dehydrated. Thirst is most commonly perceived between 1-2% bodyweight loss in water, but your metabolic process start suffering long before that (at about .5% bodyweight loss). Because we can become dehydrated so easily, don't wait to get thirsty to drink water. Get ahead-drink early and often. Ideally your water consumption should be spread out throughout the day. For example, if you drink 1 litre of water by 10am, I would recommend still taking in fluids throughout the rest of the day. For example, you could have a glass of green tea with lunch and sparkling water with lime with dinner. You are not just what you eat; you are also what you drink...or don't drink! Give yourself a head start and grab one of our gym bottles, the perfect companion to help you keep track of your water intake. Perfect for any activity or lack thereof 😉
