Once you are well hydrated it is a wise notion to maintain fluid intake. If you will be exercising for up to an hour, an intake of approximately 125ml every 20-30 minutes should be enough to stay hydrated. For longer periods, an intake of 125-25Oml (depending on how you feel) every 15-20 minutes, starting as soon as possible after the commencement of your exercise should suffice. After a training period a good intake of fluids will restock your body.
Beer is not recommended as a good fluid replacement due to the fact that it draws more fluid into the inside your body cells from other parts of the body and takes a lot longer for the fluid to be put in the system. The use of small amounts of electrolytes in fluids can help with intake of fluid into the body. The larger the amount of minerals in a drink the harder it is to digest taking more energy and time. Some people will find that only precise regulation of fluid intake will stop the stress of dehydration on their body.
Before anyone starts to train or prepare for any exercise they should take into account the time of day at which the event is going to take place, the weather conditions, and the length of time and amount of energy that will be needed to achieve their goals. Any undue stress on the body can be stopped by hydrating the body before physical exercise is undertaken. Hydration for a special event can take place up to a week before the event. This is done by increasing the intake of water by about 33 percent of normal intake (water or other fluids). By doing this, the levels of fluid in the body are increased by a substantial amount.
During times of sickness dehydration becomes a major problem if fluid intake is not maintained. There is a larger loss of fluid due to fever, running nose, and the feeling of not wanting to eat and drink. Therefore, when you are looking after someone or yourself small amounts of water, administered frequently, is a good way to speed up recovery. Therefore, a well balanced intake is extremely important when trying to maintain a healthy life style.
