Understanding the Problem with Dehydration

During a normal day we lose about two litres of water just through breathing, sweat, urine and bowel movements. When we exercise we can lose up to two litres per hour depending on the type of physical activity. Also, while sweating, we lose two main electrolytes: sodium (range 10-70 mEq/L) and chloride (range 5-60 mEq/L).

Just a 2% loss in body weight due to dehydration can reduce athletic performance by a staggering 20%. In addition, for every litre of fluid lost: your core temperature increases, heart rate rises, glycogen stored in muscles are used more rapidly, and lactic acid increases.

When we first start to sense thirst, we are already 2% dehydrated. At this percentage, humans begin to develop headaches, tiredness and loss of focus. These factors alone contribute to a decrease in performance and will only grow the more dehydrated one becomes, along with the imbalance of electrolytes in one’s body.

Increasing Proper Levels of Water Absorption

When fluid arrives at the first portion of the small bowel, the unique SOS formula activates the body’s Sodium/Glucose co-transport system.
