Dehydration is a serious issue that affects the body in many different ways. It can be harmful to any person, but especially people who are highly athletic. If hydration and water intake aren't properly managed, muscles won't grow correctly and it is likely inconveniences will occur. Dehydration can even lead to dangerous complications such as heat stroke or organ failure if it isn't dealt with quickly enough. If you continue to read, you will learn how hydration works in your body and how it is important for muscle growth!

What is Dehydration?

Dehydration is the excessive loss of water from the body. When you are dehydrated, your body doesn't have enough fluid to function properly. We all know that we are made up of more than 60% water as humans! That's why hydration is so important. Every function in your body involves water and when you lose too much, it can cause a number of problems to arise such as cramps or even heatstroke!

How Can Dehydration Affect the Body?

Your body is made up of many different systems, all of which need water to function properly. When you become dehydrated, your brain and heart will work harder in an attempt to maintain hydration levels. Dehydration causes weakness, dizziness, and headaches. It also impacts physical performance by reducing strength and endurance. Dehydration is a huge concern for all people, especially athletes!

How Can Dehydration Affect the Athletic Body?

When you sweat during strenuous exercise, hydration becomes incredibly important.

  • Dehydration causes weakness, dizziness, and headaches. It also impacts physical performance by reducing strength and endurance
  • Dehydrated muscles don't grow as well because hydration is needed to repair tissue damage and to produce new cells
  • Hydrating yourself with water helps muscles grow through hydroxylation reactions
  • Without proper hydration during exercise, you may experience headaches or dizziness which could lead to a more serious condition such as heat stroke or kidney failure.
  • Muscle growth cannot occur without water intake because water transports nutrients that help with muscle recovery after an intense workout session.
  • Increases risk of DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness)


What are Some Signs of Dehydration?

Some common signs of dehydration are excessive thirst, dry mouth, weakness, headache, decreased urination, and dizziness. If you experience any of these symptoms it is important to grab a bottle right away!

How can Dehydration be Prevented?

It's important to hydrate yourself in the days leading up to a heavy workout and during it. Drinking water before, during and after workouts is the safest way to ensure your total and complete hydration. Keep in mind: Most people need at least 64 ounces, or 8 cups of water a day. Another simple way to prevent dehydration is to make the process of hydration fun! Add lemon, a splash of juice or add MPAsupps Pharmgrade, that not only hydrates you but also gives you extra nutrients that promote muscle growth and prevent muscle fatigue!

Most people get used to dehydrating themselves. We take advantage of all of the H2O around us. In order to hydrate properly and allow muscles to grow, water and hydration must be a priority. Keep calm and stay hydrated.
