Hydration for Athletes
Hydration is a very important area of the dietary needs of anyone partaking in any exercise activities. It is important to get enough fluids before competition and training, but also it is important to re-hydrate after exercise to aid recovery.
How do you know if you are drinking enough? You should know when you are dehydrated. Feeling thirsty is not a good indicator - monitoring your urine is. This urine color test can help to guide you.
