Why Is Hydration Important?

Hydration is one of those topics that everyone hears all of the time, knows how important it is, and then still proceeds to not drink enough water.

In reality, men need that 3.7 liters of water is enough for men a day and 2.7 liters of fluid is enough for women. A normal person is lucky to get in eight cups of water a day and often, that is if they choose to really push their fluid intake. Dehydration sucks away energy, decreases alertness, and increases the feelings of hunger within the body, none of which are good feelings.

With all of this being said, what does Recovery Day care if you drink enough water? Fun fact: Water enhances healing. Water is able to flush toxins out of the body as needed and transport nutrients throughout the body and into the necessary cells that are healing. In addition to this, water helps regulate the temperature of the body as well, ensuring that there are no heat-related ailments that will inhibit healing. If you’re feeling like you’re just not recovering as well as you’d hope, it is very likely that you’re not taking in enough water!
