The topic of proper nutrition has captured athletes for a long time. They keep count of calories, proteins, fats and carbohydrates, give up gluten and monitor the sugar content of foods. Of course, these are important points in the diet of a person who is engaged in sports. Much attention is also paid to the observance of the water regime.
There are even approximate recommendations on how much water to drink before, on time and after a workout. Here it is worth paying special attention to the quality of the water. Not all water is useful. But for the fastest recovery after physical exertion, water is very important. So what kind of water can I drink?
Water that has a beneficial effect on the athlete’s body. Such a liquid is ionized alkaline water. It has a number of fundamentally important advantages.
- Dilutes the blood. During training, an athlete loses an average of 1.5 liters of water, which leads to blood thickening. Thick blood is slower to deliver oxygen and nutrients to all organs and systems, including the brain. As a result, the heart has to work harder to drive thick blood through the veins and arteries. Pulse quickens. Ionized alkaline water reduces the density of blood and the load on the heart. This increases the effectiveness of training.
- With the liquid, important trace elements and minerals are excreted from the body. Electrolytes are responsible for regulating the water balance, the pH level of the blood and for the electrical impulses that are necessary for the proper functioning of neuromuscular connections and muscle contraction. The effectiveness of the training process increases significantly if the athlete makes up for the lack of trace elements. Calcium, sodium, magnesium and potassium are contained in alkaline water in ionized form and are better absorbed by the body.
- Prevents unpleasant (sometimes painful) sensations in the muscles due to the accumulation of acetic and lactic acids. The body removes excess acids into the bloodstream, as it wants to get rid of them. From this, the pH level decreases (becomes acidic). And for the good work of all organs, systems and effective training, it is necessary to alkalize the body, not oxidation. Alkaline ionized water has smaller molecular structures, so it penetrates well into the cell membranes inside, neutralizes lactic and acetic acids, effectively saturates cells with oxygen, reduces the level of acidity. Muscles are softer and recover faster after exertion.
- Acidic waste is more easily dissolved in alkaline water, which is then removed through the kidneys. It also increases the endurance of the athlete and the effectiveness of the loads.
- Ionized water strengthens the immune system, helps to overcome viruses and bacteria, and improve well-being. Strong immunity is a guarantee of health, good mood and achievement of sports results.
Alkaline ionized water should be drunk regularly. Make it your habit. Give up sports energy drinks that contain sugar and acidify the body. Such drinks not only do not help the athlete, but also harm the body. Replace them with water. This is very easy to do when the ionizer is at hand and can cook it in a few minutes. aQuator Viva and aQuator Silver prepare alkaline water with a given pH level from 8.0 to 11.0.
We wish you great sports achievements!
