Water's Importance To Athletes By: Julie Austin | - Nearly 60% of the body's total weight is water. It's one of the most important nutrients an athlete can consume. It improves digestion, helps maintain body temperature, and helps with circulation. Sweating is the way the body regulates its temperature. An athlete that doesn't drink enough water isn't able to sweat adequately and their body temperature will get too high. Even a small amount of dehydration is enough to impact performance. Thirst isn't an indicator of dehydration. Dehydration can o ... Tags:water, dehydration, athlete, sweat, sports drink, replace fluids, wrist water bottle, swiggies, athletic performance, NASDAQ
