Hydration gives you determination for weight loss

The first step to enhancing your weight loss goal is to make sure your body is properly hydrated. Simply adding water and electrolytes to your daily intake will change the way your body functions. Although water is the most needed liquid for the human body, it is not the most desired beverage.

An alternative to drinking water is consuming drinks that contain low amounts of sugars and high amounts of electrolytes. These components ensure your body is still being hydrated.

“Staying hydrated is the first step to becoming more healthy, especially in children and young adults," said Doctor Clare Close, who specializes in children’s health. "Your body naturally releases endorphins when your heart rate goes up and metabolism starts burning food. In order for everything to run properly your body must be hydrated. Essentially working out with a dehydrated body is unhealthy.”

Being hydrated is just the beginning of feeling great on the inside and then looking great on the outside.

Gatorade has released a new product line form their G Series which provides your body with the right amount of sugars and electrolytes for staying energized and hydrated while working out.

According to the product description of Gatorade G series this is a three-step beverage process where you consume a different beverage in each of the three steps.

The fist step is the “Prime” phase. This 4-ounce drink is loaded with essential B vitamins and carbohydrates giving your body energy. The second step is the “Perform” phase, which is the original Gatorade formula that has hydrated athletes for the past 40 years. The third and final step is “Recover” phase. This post-workout drink is filled with electrolytes, carbohydrates and proteins that replenish your muscles in order to rehydrate.

Junior college athlete Ryan Stevens said, “I love the Gatorade G series because you still feel light and not full while your working out and it also tastes great, which is important.”

Combining this product with your hopeful water intake can change the way your body feels. Your body will have more energy and this will translate to other aspects in your life. So the next time you reach for a soda prior to a work out, think twice and give your body what it really thirsts for.
