The topic of what and how to drink before, during and after training is one of the most controversial among runners. Today we will talk about rehydration after running.
Water plays an important role in many physiological, metabolic and even mental functions of the body. Its consumption in all possible forms before training, during a run and restoration of water balance after, is important for prevention of sudden changes in blood composition, regulation of the cardiovascular system, muscle metabolism and thermoregulation. With sweat, along with liquid, we also lose salts, which leads to increased acidity (acidosis) and general intoxication. In addition, the lack of potassium and sodium is difficult to reflect on the state of the muscular system, in particular, on the state of the heart muscle — the myocardium.
Water compensation in the ratio of 1/1.5 is considered optimal — that is, if during a long run you lost 1 liter of fluid (weight to help), then you will need 1.5 liters of clean water for recovery . Most nutritionists recommend restoring water balance and strength through milk (or its vegan alternatives) or a fruit shake - this will help replenish not only the body's fluid supply, but also enzymes, protein and carbohydrates. Everything your body needs to nourish tissues.
