Keep Yourself Hydrated When Exercising

Most people think because they hardly sweat they don't need to drink much water but that is a very dangerous approach to take when working out. You still lose water even if you don't sweat during your workout and that is why it's absolutely important that you replace what you lose. 
 
The current recommended amount of water for adults is eight glasses of water a day. Now, you don't have to be pedantic about exactly how much you should drink but that amount serves as a good guidance. Some people will drink more and others will drink a bit less but what matter is that you drink about that amount. Also keep in mind that the eight glasses recommended is simply to replace the water your body needs to function effectively on a daily basis. That amount will increase if you exercise since your body will need more water to hydrate. 
 
Most people think they can have any beverage to make up for the eight glasses that are recommended but that is just not going the help. Having coffee, tea and other soft drinks will only starve your body of water and that will not count towards your daily amount. You need to drink plain water to keep your body hydrated and working at tip top condition. 
 
Keeping your body hydrated, especially during heavy workouts will go a long way to improving your overall health. The first sign of dehydration in most people are having a headache. So next time you start to feel a headache coming on ask yourself if you've had enough water to drink.
