5. Drink enough fluids
The U.S. National Academies of Sciences recommends a daily fluid intake of about 1.5 cups a day for women and about 16 cups a day for men.
Sufficient fluid intake is crucial for a powerful workout.
There are various healthy drinks to keep you hydrated, such as low-carbonated and low-sodium water, unsweetened teas, lemon water, and infused water.
And stay away from drinks that provide calories, such as juices, sodas, and energy drinks.
Especially if you work out several times a week, you should make sure you drink enough fluids.
The distribution of fluid intake over the day is also essential because the body only absorbs 0.2 liters of fluid per hour.
So you should distribute the three liters between morning, noon, and evening. And drink before you feel thirsty.
