Hydration Essentials

Hydration is crucial for both physical performance and cognitive function, with a loss of just 1-4% of body weight in water leading to a significant decline in work capacity. It's important to understand that hydration involves not just water, but also key electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium. Monitoring urine color can be misleading; instead, consider how much water you lose during exercise and replenish accordingly to maintain optimal performance.
