The heat wave is approaching. Drink, drink, drink, but beware: not anything. In general, think about limiting drinks containing a lot of caffeine and theine that have a diuretic effect, so desiccant, just like alcohol for that matter! Also, keep in mind that sodas do not hydrate - they even promote aging (see below).

How to hydrate when playing sports?
In case of physical activity during hot weather, you should start drinking water regularly in the morning. From half an hour before the activity and until the end, a good stress drink is recommended (BN NOW for example). For the baldest of us, do not forget to protect your head!

Is water enough?
Know also that in case of sporting effort, the minimum is to accompany its contributions in water with a pinch of salt and a little sugar if one intends to convey the water in all the tissues of his body and thus maintain a good hydration.

A little reminder of the importance of water on our skeleton ...
A well-hydrated cartilage receives its supply from the blood supply from its attachment to the base of the bone. In case of lack of water, the joint will draw in its capsule. The capsule will swell, become fragile and then create inflammation.
Water also acts on the joints as a lubricant or as a support capable of carrying the force that the weight and tension of the muscles produce on the joints. Water stored in the lumbar disc core supports 75% of the weight of the upper body. In case of dehydration the 5th lumbar disc is affected in 95% of cases.

And what about sodas ...?
Sodas do not hydrate, but most of all they promote aging, regular soda drinkers have shorter telomeres. Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences that shorten a little more each time the cells divide; the older we get, the shorter these sequences are. One study shows that regular soda users have shorter telomeres at the DNA level of their white blood cells. This study was done on adults, but what to think then children who more and more young consume daily sodas ...

Last detail, do not wait to be thirsty before drinking ... It will be too late!
