theme of the week: THE HYDRATION

During running or any muscular workout, the body produces heat and the sweat is an automatic reaction to get it out and to avoid an increase of the body temperature. Sweating eliminates the body water and causes, in the long run, dehydration and consequently a fall of the muscular performance and the possibility to have cramps, strain and exhaustion of the body resources.
This sensation is not immediately perceptible because maybe we are not thirsty, or we are dry outside, and we do not think we are sweating. Then, suddenly, an abrupt energetic exhaustion catches us and it is not easy to balance this lack just drinking water or salts. The lack of body fluids must be anticipated, drinking at regular intervals specific beverages with mineral salts. When we are thirsty after an uphill is already too late, we should drink before.
It is important to drink during the training sessione because we learn about our necessities and we can taste different drinks. The ideal drink has a good energetic power, should be hypotonic (it is not too concentrate), tastes good, with a hydration function and a high capacity of gastric emptying.
