Staying properly hydrated is a critical factor in maintaining peak performance during exercise. Dehydration can negatively impact endurance, strength, and overall well-being. Additionally, electrolytes play a crucial role in keeping your body balanced and functioning efficiently. Here are the key points you need to know about hydration, exercise, and electrolytes:

Water is essential for regulating body temperature, lubricating joints, and transporting nutrients throughout the body. When you exercise, your body loses fluids through sweat, and if these are not replenished, dehydration can set in. Even mild dehydration can lead to fatigue, dizziness, and reduced athletic performance.

In short, no. When you sweat, you not only lose water, but key minerals that effect muscle function, performance and recovery; sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. Whilst water does contain some natural minerals, modern refining processes remove the majority of these, meaning you'd need tens of litres of water to replace the amount lost during exercise.

Sports drinks are convenient but often contain high amounts of sugar, artificial flavours, and preservatives. While they provide quick energy, their sugar content can lead to energy crashes and unnecessary calorie intake.
