The increased temperature will accelerate your sweat rate, making you lose more water than normal.<\/p>\n<p>As a good general guideline, you\u2019ll want to consume around one cup of fluid for every 15 minutes or so that you are engaging in intense exercise. If in a hot environment, try for one and a half cups or two cups every 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Note that if you are planning on exercising for longer than an hour, at that point you can look into electrolyte replacement beverages.<\/p>\n<p>At this point you may be sweating out higher volumes of sodium, throwing off the natural balance of sodium and potassium you have to maintain in order to continue with your intense exercise protocol.<\/p>\n<p>Do keep in mind though that many of these beverages contain added sugars, which you want to stay away from. Consider a sugar free variety (if you can find one without a high dose of artificial sweeteners as well), or opt for preparing your own instead.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Re-hydrate after exercise is finished<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Finally, after exercise is finished, then it comes time to rehydrate. If you have done a good job at hydrating yourself going into the workout and then staying hydrated as the workout gets underway, this shouldn\u2019t require too much additional work.<\/p>\n<p>For many however, who aren\u2019t practicing good hydration strategies, now is the time they really need to drink up.<\/p>\n<p>One of the best ways to figure out how much fluid to drink after exercise is to simply weigh yourself prior to exercise and then weigh yourself after you are finished.<\/p>\n<p>The amount of weight you lose is a good rough guideline as to how much water you\u2019ve lost, so you can then take steps to replace this.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll want to drink 20-24 fluid ounces (3 cups) for every one pound of weight that you have lost.<\/p>\n<p>Now, in the rare case that you have <i>gained weight<\/i>, take note that you may be overhydrating.<\/p>\n<p>Some individuals, especially if they are exercising in hot climates, which tends to make people thirstier, drink too much.<\/p>\n<p>This can be just as dangerous as not drinking enough, so be careful. If you over consume water, it can also mean throwing off the electrolytes in your body, which can result in weakness, confusion, and potentially also cause you to pass out.<\/p>\n<p>If you happen to be performing exercise in water (swimming), you\u2019ll also want to make note of your hydration as well.<\/p>\n<p>Usually people will not drink while swimming as water bottles are not handy and they don\u2019t notice themselves sweating as they are in the water.<\/p>\n<p>You are sweating however, make no mistake about that. As such, it\u2019s still going to be very important that you are replacing the fluid that you lost.<\/p>\n<p>Follow the same principles during swimming as you did during any other exercise.<\/p>\n<p>Seem like a lot to take in?<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t worry. Once you start paying attention to your hydration status, making a conscious effort to get in more water, it\u2019ll get easier from there.<\/p>\n<p>Soon, it\u2019ll become second nature to be drinking as much as you need and you won\u2019t need to give any further thoughts to it.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s now go over 10 tips to know about that will help with getting your water in.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #99cc00;\"><b>10 Tips For Getting Your Water In<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Just as you need to plan to get your meals in throughout the day, you also need to play to stay on top of your hydration as well.<\/p>\n<p>Here are 10 tips to help you achieve optimal hydration balance.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Keep A Wide Mouth Water Jar\/Bottle With You As Often As Possible<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you want to make getting your water in easier, consider drinking through a wide mouth water jar or container.

Not just because they are loaded with fiber, antioxidants, and provide a number of key health benefits, but because they will contribute water to your day.<\/p>\n<p>Fresh berries, apples, or grapes are all excellent for helping boost your hydration status and making it easier to get your water needs met.<\/p>\n<p>As these do have calories, make sure that you are accounting for them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Just For You: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bioptimizers.leadpages.co\/leadbox\/1405d6a73f72a2%3A119220809b46dc\/5701241594183680\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download the 12 Week To Doubling Your Energy course for FREE<\/a>&nbsp;and get information on the key vitamins and minerals you need to be consuming in your diet plan.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Snack On Cucumbers<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you want an ultra-low calorie snack to help tide you over until dinner that will work <i>overtime<\/i> and also help you stay hydrated, choose cucumbers.<\/p>\n<p>Cucumbers are almost entirely all water, so will hydrate your body in record time. Add a little sea salt to them if you desire or any other spices.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Add Sliced Lemon\/Lime To Your Water<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Sometimes if getting in plain water is becoming a little too challenging, the best way to remedy this is to add a slice of lemon or lime to your bottle.<\/p>\n<p>This will help to instantly bring a dose of flavor to the water, while also offering detoxification benefits as well.<\/p>\n<p>Both lemons and limes are great for removing excess toxin build-up in the body and cleansing your system.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, while these fruits seem to be acidic outside of the body, once you consume them, they actually become <i>alkaline.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Therefore, they will help you keep your body\u2019s pH balance in check.<\/p>\n<p>If lemon or limes don\u2019t quite do it for you, you can also do the same thing using orange or grapefruit slices as well, or even some fresh berries.<\/p>\n<p>These will give just a hint of flavor \u2013 enough that you can turn away from other methods of adding sweetness to your beverage.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Add Ice<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>While drinking water at room temperature does tend to help accelerate the hydration process because it\u2019s absorbed faster into your body, adding ice can help you get the water down.<\/p>\n<p>Some individuals simply prefer ice cold water as they find it more refreshing, so do whatever works best for you.<\/p>\n<p>There is also the added benefit that your body will burn more calories if you drink ice cold water as it has to expend more energy to heat the water up.<\/p>\n<p>So if weight loss is a goal of yours, that\u2019s another reason to add a few cubes to your glass.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">8. &nbsp;&nbsp; Try Herbal Teas<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you might also try using herbal teas. These are great for increasing your hydration status and will definitely count towards your total daily water quota.<\/p>\n<p>Many herbal teas can also offer additional benefits as well such as chamomile, taken before bed to help you sleep more soundly.<\/p>\n<p>Just be sure if you are serving herbal teas that you are not adding sugar, honey, or other forms of sweetener that will add unwanted calories and spike blood glucose levels.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"9\">\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Place Watermelon In Your Freezer<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Here\u2019s another great tasting trick that can help you get more water into your day \u2013 put some watermelon into your freezer.<\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s a hot summer\u2019s day and you need something to cool down, frozen watermelon is a perfect choice.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s low in calories. It\u2019s high in water content. And, it\u2019ll also offer some vitamin C, pantothenic acid, as well as copper into your day.<\/p>\n<p>Just be sure to purchase seedless to make the process of eating it easier.<\/p>\n<p>You can even mash this up or run it through a blender for a few seconds to make a watermelon slush.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"10\">\n<li>Add A Straw<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Finally, the last quick and simple tip to make getting in your water quota easier is to add a straw.<\/p>\n<p>Silly as it may sound, this will help you drink more water with each sip you take and can also make drinking the water more fun.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019ll bring you back to your childhood days and could mean the difference between you getting enough or not.<\/p>\n<p>Just do keep in mind that if you are someone who does experience gas quite easily, you\u2019ll want to be careful with this tip as drinking through a straw can amplify gas formation.<\/p>\n<p>If that\u2019s the case, use it only when you\u2019re really struggling to get your water in.<\/p>\n<p>There you have some of the best tips to help you master your hydration.
