Whether you’re a pro bodybuilder or just starting out, don’t make the mistake of believing that you only need water when you’re thirsty.
Your body can become dehydrated without any symptoms, whether on the hottest summer day or the coldest day of winter.
You lose water through perspiration (not just the kind you see, but continual “invisible” perspiration as well), through waste removal and through breathing.
Water loss increases with hot weather, necessitating greater intake and emphasis on water, but keeping properly hydrated should be a year-round priority.
Unfortunately, most people walk around in some state of dehydration all the time.
Symptoms such as fatigue, memory problems, lack of focus, constipation and headaches, just to name a few, can often be traced to a lack of water.
Additionally, digestive problems can often be aided or even cured by simply increasing water intake.
So far all you aspiring muscle boys who are currently running a bulking cycle, drinking plenty of water will help your stomach digest all that chicken breast your stuffing yourself with.
