Eating the right types of foods is extremely important for your athletic performance, but drinking enough fluids is also essential for optimal training performance and everyday normal functions well-being. During exercise, the main way the body maintains optimal body temperature is by sweating. Heat is removed from the body when beads of sweat on the skin evaporate, resulting in a loss of body fluid. Sweat production, and therefore fluid loss, increases with a rise in ambient temperature and humidity, as well as with an increase in exercise intensity. Staying hydrated enables your body to provide adequate circulation to both your muscles and body surface.
No athlete can compete at his or her best without proper hydration. Proper hydration is especially important during exercise. Adequate fluid intake for athletes is essential to comfort, performance and safety. The longer and more intensely you exercise, the more important it is to drink the right kind of fluids.
As I have mentioned in past blogs, a mere 1 percent dehydration level will hinder your athletic performance and health. Signs of dehydration are fatigue, headache, light-headedness, dry mouth and dark-colored urine. A study published in 2015 Asker Jeukendrup & Michael Gleeson at Humankinetics, suggests that “A loss of sweat equal to 2% of body weight causes a noticeable decrease of physical and mental performance. Losses of 5% or more of body weight during physical activities may decrease the capacity for work by roughly 30%”.
Therefore we conclude that the lack of proper hydration will cause major damage to your athletic performance as shown. Making sure you are always replenishing fluid and electrolytes if you are engaged in a physical activity is a must if you are looking to perform at optimum levels.
With that in mind, some of the best Golf Players have been making the switch to proper hydration with Hydra-Guard Sports Drink, and here’s why:
1. "Hydration goes beyond fluid in the body but to be hydrated is to be prepared, to be full of the necessary components to succeed daily. When we fill our body’s of the right things; positivity, love, compassion, grace, hope, forgiveness, peace, kindness, and self-control(hard work), we can not only be our best selves but also make the world a better place by being ourself." - Alexis Belton, 2x World Long Drive Champion and current #1 American Long Driver
2."Hydra-Guard Sports Drinks is key to enabling me to stay properly hydrated, mentally sharp, which will ensure my performance stays high during my professional career." - Luis Gagne, 2x back-to-back US Open qualifier (2018 & 2019), Low Amateur at the 2018 US Open
