Guidelines for Proper Hydration
Electrolyte Replacement Sodium:
0.5 to 0.7 g/L in activity longer than 1 hour to enhance
palatability and the drive to drink, to reduce the risk of hyponatremia and to
minimize risk of muscle cramps.
TAKE HOME MESSAGE
Approximately 20% of the daily water
need comes from water found in fruits and vegetables; the remaining 80% is
provided by beverages, including water, juice, milk, coffee, tea, soup, sports
drinks, and soft drinks.
When individuals work, train, and
compete in warm environments, their fluid needs can increase greatly, and this
should be appreciated (McArdle et al, 2013).
