When is the best time to drink water while exercising to lose weight?

Everyone knows the importance of water to the human body. Two-thirds of the body is water, and water is also the most important part for chemical reactions or functional operations in the body. Therefore, it is of course the most important part when exercising. It can regulate the body's water balance. However, when exercising, the body's organs are in an excited state. When should you choose to drink water? Let’s listen to the experts’ opinions.

The body's water metabolism during exercise is much higher than when not exercising. The average person sweats about 0.5 liters a day, but the amount of sweat produced during an hour of running is 2-3 times this amount; the amount of sweat produced during a 90-minute football game can be 4-10 times this amount.

If you don't drink enough water before exercise and don't pay attention to drinking water during exercise, you will become dehydrated, and the degree of dehydration will increase as the exercise time increases. For a person weighing 50 kg, dehydration of 0.5 kg will cause thirst; dehydration of 1 kg will cause severe thirst, discomfort, depression and loss of appetite; dehydration of 7.5 kg may be life-threatening.

When exercising to lose weight, you should control your water intake. This means you should replenish water in time when you are dehydrated. The so-called dehydration does not mean you should drink water when you feel thirsty. If you really feel thirsty, it is already too late. You should replenish water before you even feel thirsty.

The time to drink water during exercise to lose weight is as follows:

1. It is best to choose boiled water or mineral water. Although hydration depends on the intensity of exercise, you should drink it slowly in small sips and the water temperature should not be too low.

2. For fitness enthusiasts who exercise for no more than 1 hour and at a low intensity, the amount of sweating will not be great. Just drink 1-2 cups of water before and after exercise.

3. For those who exercise for more than 1 hour and whose main purpose is to lose weight, they should drink a glass of water before exercise and a glass of water every 20-30 minutes during exercise.

After getting up every morning, you can drink a glass of warm water, which can detoxify the body and help you lose weight. However, drinking water at night is also a very important thing. Generally, you should choose to drink water one hour before going to bed. Remember not to drink a lot of water, as this may cause edema. So drinking water is also a science.
