Drinking water?




As you probably know our body contains a lot of water. Some researchers say that 60% of our body mass is water. The water is one of the most important things when you work hard in the gym. It is very important also in strong physical activity. About 90% of the energy that is being released in the cells is because of the oxygen we breathe and only 10% of the energy is being realesed by the water that we drink. But the water plays more important role in our body. It cools down our body when it gets warmer than that it should be. Then you start sweating all over to cool it down wherever needed. It is very important to drink water during such physical activities but also is very important the way you drink the water and when you do it. It is not good for your heart to drink more than a half a litre at a time. If you are very tired and you want to chill down a lil do not do it big. Do it on small gulps. Slowly but surely. And the other thing you should know is that you should do it atleast 10 minutes after you have stopped the activity, i repeat do not do it directly after you have stop the activity. The way you drink water is very important for body and really affects your heart and blood system. You should really pay attention to it. And to be in good shape try to drink atleast 2 litres a day of fresh or mineral water. Your brain will work more properly and you will feel more active.
