Performance Powerhouse: Supplementing for Optimal Hydration
Prioritising a healthy and active lifestyle in a world that is fast-paced and constantly on the go, has become more common place in today’s modern society. Whether you’re hitting the gym, doing moderate exercise, a dedicated athlete or rushing between meetings, one vital fundamental of our health that is often overlooked, is hydration. Drinking water and replaying essential nutrients and electrolytes lost when on the move is key and easily supplemented with the Coco Earth Hydration range, brought to you by Coco Health.
Why Hydration Matters
Research over the years has shown that a staggering majority of the Australian population has failed to meet the Adequate Intake (AI) values for total water intake (82%) and total fluids intake (78%)[1]. At Coco Earth, we know that drinking water to stay hydrated is sometimes not enough, especially for athletes who lose large amounts of fluid and run the risk of dehydration while training or competing. The importance of supplementing is a game-changer that not only benefits performance, but also has a direct impact on our overall health and well-being.
Peak Performance
When it comes to maintaining peak physical and mental performance as an athlete is crucial, and hydration plays a fundamental role in this, which is why it matters so much. It’s important to replace lost fluids during training and competitions to avoid dehydration, which can lead to decreased endurance, increased fatigue and reduced cognitive function.
Regulating Body Temperature
During exercise, sweating is the body’s natural cooling mechanism to help regulate body temperature effectively, but without adequate hydration while training or competing, this function falls short and can result in adverse health effects.
Muscle Function
When the body is dehydrated, muscle function suffers, leading to muscle cramp, strains and potentially a longer recovery period post-training.
Staying hydrated with water and additional supplements not only aids in transporting essential nutrients to the muscles, but helps flush out toxins attributed to post-workout soreness.
