Hydration – the key to health and a slim figure!

figurella tips & tricks

Hydration is essential for maintaining health and proper body function. Water makes up about 60% of the human body and is vital for numerous processes, including nutrient transport, temperature regulation, and waste elimination.

Why is hydration important?

• Maintaining electrolyte balance: Water helps maintain electrolyte balance, which is crucial for proper nerve impulses, muscle contractions, and pH balance. • Temperature regulation • Elimination of waste and toxins (urine/sweat) • Transporting nutrients from the digestive system to cells • Prevention of chronic diseases • Supporting brain function, hormones, and metabolic processes • Helping muscles, joints, and bones function properly • Aiding weight loss • Promoting body detoxification • Reducing fatigue and headaches • Keeping skin elastic and glowing

Signs of dehydration:

• Dark-colored urine • Thirst • Headache • Constipation • Fatigue • Weakness • Dizziness

How to achieve proper hydration?

• Drink enough water: The recommendation is to drink 2-4 liters of water daily, depending on physical activity and climate conditions. Spending more time outdoors or engaging in physical activity increases the need for fluid replacement, especially during workouts in hot and humid conditions when the body sweats more.

• Drink before, during, and after exercising: During physical activity, the body loses fluids through sweat, so it’s essential to replenish them.

• Monitor the color of your urine: If your urine is dark yellow, it may be a sign that you’re not adequately hydrated.

• Eat water-rich foods: Vegetables and fruits such as cucumbers, tomatoes, citrus fruits, and salads can contribute to hydration.

• Carry a water bottle with you: This helps you remember to drink throughout the day.

• If you feel hungry, drink water first: Thirst is often mistaken for hunger.

• Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink water: Start hydrating before you feel thirsty.

• Associate drinking water with daily activities to build the habit: Drink water before each meal, after using the restroom, and right after waking up.

At Figurella, we emphasize the importance of fluid intake at every step of the program—from detoxification to exercising in the capsule.

How to achieve proper hydration before training?

• 2-3 hours before activity, drink about 500 ml of water, and 10-20 minutes before exercise, drink an additional 200-300 ml. • During workouts on hot summer days, drink approximately 200 ml of water every 15-20 minutes. You can also use sports drinks containing electrolytes lost through sweating. • After physical activity, drink between 0.5-1 liter of water to successfully replenish all lost fluids.
