It’s Fitness Tuesday here on Just Jodi Style and I wanted to talk about hydration. Now I know I have spoken about drinking lots of water while working out and post work out with my handy s’well water bottle, but there is more to it than just that. Now I am not a soda or even a gatorade drinker. On an average day I drink more than the necessary amount of water you should have and then some. I found out the hard way last week that you can be dehydrated even when you drink plenty of water. Last week I felt so out of whack and felt like I was having a vertigo spell, but what it really was me being dehydrated. I needed more electrolytes in my system and I honestly was surprised. I take good care of my body I eat 3 meals a day I have snacks in between and I take my daily vitamins and then some so how was I all of the sudden dehydrated? The simple answer is that sometimes everything that you have been doing catches up to you. I have been working out more than I have in my entire life and I need to change up my regiment according. Since last week I have started drinking Core water which honestly when I first heard about it I thought another water that is suppose to be better for you. After trying it myself I can say that it is truly better for you. It is full of electrolytes and doesn’t have all of the sugars that Gatorade has. I also have added more fiber into my diet such as almonds, lentils and even artichoke. These foods have helped me fuel up my body so to speak and I have felt better after all of my workouts since I have added this foods into my diet. If you are one of the many that are gearing up for swimsuit season so you are hitting the gym extra hard please be sure to keep yourself as hydrated as possible. Even when you think you have drank enough water or gatorade or anything drink more. Hope everyone has a great rest of their day!
