I was super thirsty after my run on Sunday and I couldn’t
drink enough water. I finally became sufficiently hydrated by 6 pm that night
and then spent most of the evening running to the bathroom to pee. Why is
hydration so important? Your body depends on water for survival. Did you know
that water makes up more than half of your body weight? Every cell, tissue and
organ in your body needs water to function correctly. For example, your body
uses water to maintain its temperature, remove waste and lubricate joints.
Water is essential for good health. You
lose water through sweating, breathing and going to the bathroom. When you don’t
replace the water that is lost, you become dehydrated.
So, how do I know if I am dehydrated?
