Hot weather, sports activities, irregular nutrition, diseases such as vomiting and diarrhea, and alcohol consumption cause even more fluid loss, which means our body becomes dehydrated.
In order to maintain vital activities, a normal human body contains water, electrolytes (K+1, Mg+2, Ca+2, Na+1), nutritional factors and cells in certain amounts. Dehydration is a condition in which the body does not have enough fluid to function optimally. Our body consumes approximately two liters of water every day through breathing, sweating and excretory system.
This fluid loss also increases during physical activity, we can lose more than two liters of water per hour during strenuous exercise, and remember, it's not just water we lose. (K+1, Mg+2, Ca+2, Na+1) that our body needs to function optimally .[/mpc_textblock]
It means that you are dehydrated from now on. However, for an athlete, this may be a little too late as it has probably already started to affect performance.
The best way to avoid this condition for athletes is to constantly monitor urine output for volume and color; both long urination intervals and dark urine are signs of the beginning of a dehydrated state and in many cases the first obvious sign of dehydration.[/mpc_textblock]
