Adjust your drinking regimen with increased protein intake
Many young bodybuilding and strength sports enthusiasts push a large amount of protein into themselves and do not realize that in addition to decreased absorption efficiency, they also endanger their health. How to use the received proteins more effectively and minimize the negative impact on the organism?
Amount of water
The decisive factor in protein intake is water intake. A healthy adult without any physical activity should drink 3 litres of water a day. Water - without unnecessary chemicals, sugars and comparably tasty ingredients. In summer, the water intake can climb up to 5 litres and even more for top athletes. Nevertheless, a large body with a large volume of muscle needs much more water to cool down. Especially when its owner lets their body work hard in the gym.
Not every water is the same
Forget about sweet drinks right away. They may be tasty, but they dry the body instead of hydration. Also watch out for drinks that are too cold. Lukewarm drinks are ideal. In the morning, the body is best hydrated with warm tea (even in the summer heat). When exercising, the body loses not only water, but also minerals and ions. That is why ionic drinks or classic "sparkling waters" are especially advised. However, you will not spoil anything with clean water or mineral water.
During training
During training, the body can sweat even 2 litres of sweat. These fluids must be replenished immediately to prevent collapse of the body. During training you can afford to drink 1 and a half litres of water. However, with this amount, you need to move your abdominal training to the beginning of the training. Annoying your favourite belly at the end with a full stomach of water could lead you to stain your gym mirror.
Body overload
With increased protein intake, a sufficient drinking regime helps to improve their absorption. Thanks to the drinking regime, the internal organs are less stressed by the processing of proteins and their decomposition during the days when you bombard the body with large doses of protein drinks.
