In order to get ideal body shape, it isn’t surprising that we spend so much time on a treadmill or doing various sets of cardio exercise intensively. But did you know that cardio exercise increases our risk of suffering dehydration?
 
Dehydration is a condition where our body lose too much fluid and ions, due to the release of massive amount of sweat while we’re exercising. Given that 60% components of the human body consists of fluids – not only water but also ions – excessive dehydration will trigger many disorders for our body’s function.
 
Hence, what can we do to prevent the dehydration from becoming another obstacle on reaching our goals? Take some notes from these following hydration steps, so you know how to avoid dehydration for your next cardio time!

Therefore, let’s just stay safe by constantly hydrating your body each 15-20 minutes during exercise.
 
3. Post Exercise
 
Thirst is an early warning from your body that it needs to be refilled with fluids and ions. To this extent, don’t ignore your thirst, though you’re already finished working out. Beside, a proper rehydration is a key success for you to conquer following activities. It is recommended to drink the same amount of fluid you have lost during exercise.
