  1. It helps us to replace fluids and mineral salts during sports training.
  2. It allows the heart to pump blood freely and for nutrients and oxygen to be properly distributed throughout the body, including the muscles.
  3. You will feel more energetic and stronger.

Therefore, drinking water is an advisable habit if we want to practice sports in the best and healthiest conditions, and obviously also in our day-to-day life. The consequences of dehydration at work, for example, are not much better.

If you still have doubts, we will tell you that the recommended water intake while practicing sports is 200ml every 15 minutes, and before and after 300ml to increase fluid reserves and / or recover what you have lost.

In addition, you should not only drink water while you train, but also throughout the day. Don't forget that experts recommend drinking between 1.5 and 2 liters of water a day. To start acquiring this good habit, remind yourself that water fountains for offices and homes or bottles of water in general can be of great help.
