💦 Hydration and Performance 💦
These are two key factors most athletes are aware of, especially in hot and humid weather! BUT….did you know that hydration has a HUGE impact on mental health?!?
Staying hydrated has been found to help:
💧 Lower risk of depression
💧 Lower risk of anxiety
💧 Improve overall mood
💧 Enhance mental clarity
💧 Reduce fatigue
The best way to develop your hydration strategy is to plan in advance, instead of waiting for feeling like you’re thirsty.
Some ideas:
💦Prep bottles of water the night before so you can grab and go in the morning
💦Be aware of how much water you need on a daily basis and much more as an athlete
💦Understand your body signals when you begin to feel dehydrated
Your challenge today: Track how much water you drink!
