Exercise is a very trendy term nowadays. The direct result of the fact that we are getting busier and busier is that fewer and fewer people ignore the importance of fitness.

But among the many people who are losing weight, many people don’t know what details they should pay attention to when losing weight? Below, the editor will introduce to you some issues that you should pay attention to when losing weight, such as whether you can drink water during weight loss exercises.

Under normal circumstances, each person needs to consume about 1.5L of water every day. However, if you sweat a lot and consume a lot of water while exercising to lose weight, especially in hot summer weather, you will need to replenish additional water according to the actual situation of the exercise. Next, we divide exercise into three stages to see how to drink water scientifically.

Before exercise

Drink 150-200 ml of water half an hour before exercise, or 300 ml of water one hour before exercise.

In motion

During low to moderate intensity exercise, drink 150-200 ml of water every 20 minutes. The total amount per hour is 500-600 ml. In hot weather, the water intake can reach 1 liter per hour. When the exercise intensity is high, it is recommended to choose low-sugar sports drinks or juices. During strenuous exercise, you should choose light salt water or salty drinks to replenish the sodium lost through sweating and keep the electrolyte balance in the body.

At the end of exercise, drink 150-200 ml of water. You can drink plenty of water only after half an hour.

To sum up, the principle of hydration during exercise is "small amounts and frequent drinks". At the same time, you should also pay attention to choosing water or sports drinks at room temperature as much as possible, and avoid iced ones, to prevent excessive stimulation of the stomach and intestines, which may cause drastic contraction of blood vessels and affect gastrointestinal health.
