Hydration, simplified
Hydration supports how you feel in training, work, and daily life. The goal: drink consistently, adjust on active days, and use electrolytes when conditions call for it (heat, long sessions, heavy sweaters). Keep it practical and repeatable.
When water is enough vs. when electrolytes help
- Water is enough for most short, low‑to‑moderate sessions and everyday movement.
- Electrolytes can help during longer efforts, hot environments, or higher sweat rates. Choose clean formulas that fit your routine.
This is general guidance; individual needs vary.
Timing guide (before / during / after)
- Before: Begin the day with water. Add a small top‑up 30–60 min before training.
- During: Sip to thirst on shorter sessions; plan steady intake on longer ones.
- After: Rehydrate gradually and pair with a balanced meal.
Routines by life stage
Young (18–30)
- Carry a sleek bottle; set reminders.
- For team sports or hot classes, consider electrolytes.
Adult (30–50)
- Keep a desk bottle and a gym bottle.
- Travel days: pack single‑serve electrolytes for flights.
Mature (50–65)
- Create a morning and early‑afternoon water cue.
- Use temperature preference (cool or warm) to encourage consistency.
Saveable checklist: “Hydrate like a minimalist”
- Bottle within reach—always.
- Add electrolytes for heat, long sessions, or heavy sweat.
- Track how you feel during/after training.
- Review weekly and adjust.
