Indian Lifestyle Blog - Importance of Water & Electrolytes 

Do you know that your body is already dehydrated by the time you feel thirsty?

You feel your body starts to cramp and you feel tired all the time. 

Water regulates your body temperature and lubricates your joints and helps transports nutrients and give you energy. And when you want to progress in your workouts you just cannot, as your body has not recovered and the muscle cramps drain you. Dehydration can lead to a significant impact on your workouts. 

Role of Electrolytes

Water is a perfectly suitable option for workouts that last under an hour and are done in a relatively cool environment. But for longer activities or workouts done in hot, humid climates, it is recommended to use a beverage with added electrolytes. Electrolytes, include sodium and potassium, can be lost during exercise through sweat, leading to an increased risk of muscle cramps, fatigue, nausea, and mental confusion.

The trick is to recognise that water isn’t the only source for hydration and to build your routine in a manner that there are minerals and electrolytes going into your body through the day. If the workout is intense and lasts longer than 45mins – 60 mins, then water might not be enough. Hydrate with an energy drink like Enerzal which will replace the lost electrolytes during or post workout. Trust me, you will definitely feel the difference.

Role of electrolytes: Na+: Helps retain water, K+: helps to communicate with muscles, ca++: Contractions of muscles, Mg++ Relaxations of muscles, Cl-: water balance etc.

About Enerzal

Exertion due to physical activity causes excessive sweating and loss of energy. This can be balanced by drinks with electrolytes. Electrolytes are minerals found in blood and other body fluids that carry an electric charge. Enerzal Energy Drink aids in maintaining the body's hydration level. Running, brisk walking and playing sports that involve high physical activity make us tired and less energetic
