Proper Hydration
SBN Barrett (And a lot of help from the internet)

Water is an essential ingredient for a healthy life and proper hydration is essential for athletes trying to achieve their best performance.  Water has many important functions in the body including:  transportation of nutrients, elimination of waste products, lubricating joints and tissues, temperature regulation through sweating, and facilitating digestion.
So we all know proper hydration is very important.  We have all heard that we should drink lots and lots of water.  Studies have found that a loss of two or more percent of one’s body weight due to sweating is linked to a drop in blood volume.  When this occurs, the heart has to work harder to move blood through the bloodstream.  This can also cause muscle cramps, dizziness and fatigue, and even heat illness like heat exhaustion or heat stroke.  The signs of dehydration, or not having enough fluid in you, are pretty easy to spot.  The signs can include:  fatigue, loss of appetite, flushed skin, heat intolerance, light-headedness, dark-colored urine, and dry cough.
Experts believe water is all you need if you going to be active for an hour or less.  A very general rule is to drink about 20oz of water 2 to 3 hours before you exercise and 8 to 10oz 15 minutes before you exercise.  Others say if you are going to be active longer than that, or will be out in the sun you may want to have a sports drink.  You should drink before you get thirsty; once you are thirsty you are already dehydrated. 
There is also something called Hyponatremia (Water Intoxication).  This happens when one drinks too much water.  So, we need to drink water but not too much water.  How much water is right?  Is water the correct drink for everyone? 
We know finding the correct amount and the right type of fluid to drink is critical for performance and safety, especially when exercising.  There are several factors that should be considered to determine what to drink and how much to drink.  These factors are unique to each of us and each type of activity.  Consider how long and how intense the exercise is.  How much you perspire and how quickly you process fluids also figures into fluid loss.  Fortunately, there are two simple methods to see if you are properly hydrated.
One – urine volume and color.  Dark colored, concentrated urine usually indicates you are dehydrated.  A large about of lightly colored diluted urine probably means you are hydrated.
Two – weighing yourself before and after exercise.  Weight loss during exercise is due to fluid loss.  Replace each pound lost with about 20oz of fluids.  Weight gain can mean you are drinking too much. 
If you’ve watched TV or listened to the radio you know there are different beverages out there besides water that can help you prevent dehydration.  But not all fluids hydrate you, did you know there are drinks that cause dehydration?  Alcoholic and caffeinated beverages like coffee, beer, tea, and soda are not recommended for optimal hydration.  These types of drinks can actually pull water from the body and help cause dehydration.  Fruit juices and fruit drinks may have too many carbohydrates, too little sodium, and can upset the stomach.
Water and sports drinks can hydrate you.  Sports drinks not only replace fluids, but should also have chemicals like sodium and potassium.  These chemicals are lost when the body perspires.  Too much or too little sodium and potassium in the body can cause trouble.
Stay hydrated and stay healthy especially during the warmer, sunnier weather.
