Hydration

Our bodies depend on water to survive – every cell, tissue and organ in the body needs water to function correctly. For example, the body uses water to maintain its temperature, transport nutrients to the cells, remove waste and lubricate joints. Rather than buying expensive isotonic sports drinks you can easily make your own by mixing together squash, water and a pinch of salt.

Exercise or rises in temperature increase perspiration, loss of water and hence fluid requirements.
