Drinking Habits

When to consume water

A.    Morning(after just getting out of bed)

Take about 900 ml to 1 liter of water after just getting out of bed in morning. Data collected from different studies has led to a result taken by doing so our metabolism boost up to the peak level and at the mean time we can equalize the water losses a while sleeping.

B.    Before meals

Friends for proper digestion of meals try to avoid excess water consumption within 30 minutes before meal .Yes, you can take small sips.

The reason behind this fact is, if you take excess of water you cannot eat as much as your muscle cells actually need it, as they are already bulging out with water. Secondly, the excess water before meals also made the various digestion chemicals and acids very dilute in nature.

C.    After meals

Same as the above fact don’t take much quantity of water just immediately after meal .firstly the chemical enzyme present in our mouth which is responsible for our carbs digestion becomes inactive.

Secondly, the acids called hydrochloric acid and the enzyme present in our gut are getting diluted due to the water and their functioning become slow and inefficient. 

D.   Pre workout

We usually take pre workout proteins + carbs blender before half an hour from workout. So friends ,these shakes should be taken with defined amount of water, avoid taking it with the floods of water.as these shakes get their effectiveness with the percentage concentration and the time for which it remains in your stomach so that they can produce a huge amount of energy in the meantime.

Creatine and other pre workout drinks should be taken with the definite amount of water.

E.     During workout

Often ,the trainers say that don’t take water during workouts but friends you should be quite hydrated during your workouts .so here is the solution for this problem take a drink which includes glucose (fast recovery agent) ,protein and some type of electrolyte(salt, sugar blender) solution which is the best known source of hydration.

F.     Post workout

Friends when you come out of gym .you felt very thirsty at this time so  don’t make a mistake by taking water only, just prepare your shake which must include protein (for muscles recovery and growth), carbs(source for recover the energy and to end up muscles fatigue) . The reason is that after workout if you take only protein then its most of the content will used up for energy gaining process and the muscles remains as it is.

G.   Before sleeping

   

      Drink a glass of water before you go to sleep. It is just a kind of preparation to fight against the water loss (due to perspiration and digestion and growth related activities) while you are sleeping. As metabolism being slow at night, so it require water to transport the nutrition to   the blood stream while sleeping.

DEHYDRATION - MAY CAUSE SOME SERIOUS PROBLEM

Dehydration

This is the condition in which water percentage from the body cells reduces adversely .This has been scientifically proved that our body give a first signal of dehydration after half an hour or more when it actually dehydrated. And with the reduction in water percentage our body parts for example biceps shrinks almost 1% from its original size and size shrinkage keeps on increasing with time.

 Notes of concern

ü  Friends if you are among the users of steroids and still do not care to hydrate your muscles properly then the negative effects of steroids increase exponentially.

ü  Dehydration leads to sudden weight reduction.

ü  Bodybuilders often complaining of body acne or body bumps which is major cause due to the high intake of protein ,carbs and less intake of water and other fibers.

ü  Dehydration somewhat responsible for aging symptoms like skin wrinkles.

ü  Dehydrated or without proper hydration if you go for gym workout, you will fell muscles fatigue and tiredness within 15 minutes.

ü  Dehydration leads to degradation of mucosal layer which is also known as the stomach lining (basic function is to protect the stomach to get digest itself).when water intake is very less than the hydrochloric acid (which is present in the gut to help in digestion of food) becomes so much concentrated that it leads to destroy the mucosal layer of stomach.

ü  Heartburn and Constipation are the main problems created by the dehydration

ü  Joint-pain known as arthritis which is often found in old age is majorly caused by the dehydration which leads to dried up the fluid present for the healthy working of joints.

ü  Disturb the Cholesterol  level

Most of us are living with a myth that the cholesterol is bad thing for healthy living. Friends actually the fact is that cholesterol level should within the limits. Dehydration causes the decrease of water percentage inside the cell which is being equalized by cholesterol to the cell protection membrane. To cope up with this situation body tends to high increase in the synthesis of cholesterol and hence leads to problems related to heart.

Dehydration also affects the working of the insulin production from pancreas which leads to uncontrolled blood sugar level and hence become the cause of Diabetes.
