Description
Hydration is simply drinking enough water, isn’t it?
Well, not exactly. In this series, learn why it’s important to know how we sweat (because it reduces our blood volume!), that sweating also means salt loss, and that for proper rehydration, we need to replace these salt losses – which often means we need to consume more salt than is recommended for the general population as daily average. Proper (re)hydration enables us to focus better in class and rehearsal, it allows waste to be transported out of our cells, and fresh nutrients (energy!) to enter our cells, and to fatigue a lot later than when dehydrated. Our hydration strategies and salt needs will change throughout the year due to varying temperatures, and the better we are with your hydration strategies, the more effortless our dancing. Part 4 focuses on the timing of fluids and food, and also looks into the link between hydration and glycogen usage of the body, plus comes with tips and tricks how much to drink, what to drink, and when to get the most out of your hydration, as well as why it’s sometimes best to consume your carbs in liquid form (aka sports drinks).
Never again let dehydration get in the way of your wellbeing, and your dance performance!
