🙆🏼♀️The Personal Trainer who’s dehydrated!
🙆🏼♀️I had a blood test last week as part of a check up I ordered & one result showed I was possibly dehydrated & I agree!
🙆🏼♀️I’ve been shocking lately at drinking water!
🙆🏼♀️Mask on makes it tricky - but I also tell my clients to drink water & then I’ve let the team down!
✔️So since I heard I’ve lined up the glasses on the bench and I’m drinking them!
🤔It’s made me realise I’ve been drinking far to little lately!
🙄And with cooler days this is another reason water intake sometimes drops off!
I like my water warm ish - don’t always like plain water (but I drink it!), I like:
🔘Carbonated (sometimes bubbles are hard on my stomach)
🔘Cold flavoured tea
🔘Lemon juice flavoured
🤔You also get water from the foods you eat such as vegetables like cucumber, soups, fruits.
✔️I’m drinking now 1.5-2L a day - heat, exercise, age are other factors to take into account when considering quantity.
☺️To absorb the water you drink into your cells, you need calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and chloride & I’ve added more of these.
🤔The question also of “am I hungry or just thirsty?” Is also relevant if your searching for food!
🤔Is your mouth dry too?
🤔All signs your needing to hydrate & if your thirsty your already dehydrated!
✖️Alcohol & caffeine don’t help thirst!
🤔Here’s Dr Libby’s take on water - how’s your intake lately?
