This article focuses on the latter.<\/p>\n<p>Recovery hydration means the athlete is fully rehydrated by the end of the day. This ensures the body and brain are optimally recuperating while they sleep. However, 76% of athletes show up dehydrated to morning training, and 66% show up to all the other trainings 1% dehydrated.<\/p>\n<p>To obtain ideal hydration, an athlete needs enough fluid and sodium each day to match their individual needs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you are 1% dehydrated, performance can decline up to 12%!<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Reduces speed and recovery<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Decreases concentration and focus<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Increases susceptibility to injuries<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Accelerates fatigue<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Promotes muscle breakdown<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Promotes storage of fat<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Decreases absorption of nutrients and removal of toxins<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Enhances the possibility of muscle cramps during activity<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOW MUCH?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The rule of thumb is half of the athlete\u2019s weight in fluid ounces a day, plus what is lost during activity.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Hydration during activity will vary on many factors: age, gender, body composition, intensity, duration, climate, etc.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The quick directive is 8-20 oz of fluid per hour of activity, but some need more, depending on the rate the athlete sweats.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 For our recovery hydration challenge, the goal is to make it simple. Therefore, go with one-half of your weight in fluid ounces a day plus 10-20 oz per activity hour.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MUST CONSUME ENOUGH SODIUM<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many people would have you believe that potassium is the main electrolyte for optimal hydration, but they are wrong. Sodium is the electrolyte that is essential.<\/p>\n<p>Sodium helps bring the fluid into the muscle cell versus getting urinated out by the kidneys. Athletes can lose from 200 mg up to 2,000 mg of sodium per pound of sweat versus about 30-150 mg of potassium per pound.<\/p>\n<p>The goal for the hydration challenge is a minimum of 3,000 mg of sodium a day and ideally spreading it. To know exactly what to consume, log onto an app such as Cronometer to figure your intake.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHAT COUNTS?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hydration Options (but not limited to)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Water<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Infused waters<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Herbal teas, cold or hot<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Milks: regular, soy, oat, rice, nut<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Smoothies<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Juice (but in limited amounts)<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Sports drinks (preferred only around activity)<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Fluids you add to recipes (example: cereals, smoothies)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Electrolyte food options (but not limited to)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Broths<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Dill pickles and other fermented foods<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Jerky<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Salted pretzels, popcorn, nuts, seeds, peanuts<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Tomato juice and tomato products<\/p>\n<p><strong>Electrolyte product options (but not limited to)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Hydrant<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 LMNT<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Gatorlyte or GFit<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Nuun Sport, GU or Precision Hydration Tablet<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Orgain Hydroboost<\/p>\n<p><strong>BEGINNER HYDRATION CHALLENGE!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>5-9 a.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>20-32 oz of fluid<\/p>\n<p>500-800 mg sodium<\/p>\n<p><strong>9-12 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>20-32 oz of fluid<\/p>\n<p>500-800 mg sodium<\/p>\n<p><strong>12-3 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>20-32 oz of fluid<\/p>\n<p>500-800 mg sodium<\/p>\n<p><strong>3-6 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>20-32 oz of fluid<\/p>\n<p>500-800 mg sodium<\/p>\n<p><strong>6-9 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>20-32 oz of fluid<\/p>\n<p>500-800 mg sodium<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adjust as needed, depending on age and weight.

Think about the competitive edge this creates!<\/p>\n<p>* * *<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are two sample recipes to consider:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>CITRUS AND CUCUMBER DRINK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>2-3 liters water<\/p>\n<p>2 large oranges, sliced<\/p>\n<p>1 lemon, sliced<\/p>\n<p>1\/2 large cucumber, sliced<\/p>\n<p>1 handful of fresh mint<\/p>\n<p><strong>Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. Put oranges, lemon and cucumber in the water pitcher. Using a long spoon, gently mash fruits\/veggies\u2014this will release more flavor.<\/p>\n<p>2. Take the mint and gently mash it to release the natural oils\u2014add to the pitcher.<\/p>\n<p>3. Add water to the pitcher and stir to begin the infusion process.<\/p>\n<p>4. Drink\/serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator for up to two days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>COCO-LIME HOMEMADE ELECTROLYTE DRINK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In this recipe, I\u2019ve aimed for a 6% solution, which is 6 grams of carbohydrates per 100 ml of liquid. It\u2019s within the 6-8% recommended.<\/p>\n<p>It also contains the minimum amount of sodium and a whopping 391 mg of potassium. It makes approximately 24 ounces, and a serving is 8 ounces.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>2 cups unsweetened coconut water<\/p>\n<p>1\/3 cup fresh lime juice<\/p>\n<p>2\/3 cup water<\/p>\n<p>1-1\/2 tsp raw honey<\/p>\n<p>1\/8 &#8211; 1\/4 tsp Himalayan pink salt<\/p>\n<p><strong>Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.
