Proper Hydration

on
Happy Monday everyone!
Lets start the week off great by prepping our food, reviewing our fitness goals, and sticking to our plan. By doing this, we can reach our goals and stay motivated! As all of you know, in Yuma, AZ during the summer months it is extremely hot. That being said, people that reside in this climate are usually always a quart low on water. Especially those that work outside, and are active! Keep in mind that drinking water is not the only thing that keeps us hydrated. Proper nutrition and electrolyte replacement  plays a role as well. Drinking water also curves hunger. Stay away from sports drinks, juices, and energy supplements if at all possible due to the high amounts of sugar they contain. Here are some Electrolyte ideas from www.fitday.com
 
The Lip Twister - tart and sweet
  • 1/4 cup of lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup of lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 whole squeezed orange
  • 1 liter of water
Easy Sweet - not too sugary
  • 2 cups of coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of Stevia (natural sweetener) or honey
  • 1 liter of water
Stay Hydrated!!!!!!
"Nothing is softer or more flexible than water,
 yet nothing can resist it". ~Lao Tzu
