KEEP IT GOING GINA!
Gina:
Sounds like you are really into exercising.
That's terrific. Your body and heart will thank you.
I certainly do not profess to be a personal trainer or anything
close to such. Have only learned from experience that you
must condition your body to get used to taking fluids
before, during and after exercising to minimize dehydration.
If you feel thirsty (dry mouth) it is already too late.
Consuming liquids immediately before hitting the pavement,
treadmill, bike wouldn't suffice either.
Dehydration can cause everything from increased heart
rate, reduced mental function and skill level. Not good.
Avoid caffeine and carbonated drinks.
Have found PROPEL FITNESS WATER to be a great thirst
quencher. It has very little sodium, but, alot of Potassium.
Cool fresh water is probably always the best.
Energy bars can have an impact on your efforts as well.
It has been proven, people with a higher level of fitness
enjoy a better quality of life than do less fit individuals.
The following article may shed some light on the subject.
