POWER OF HYDRATION

It’s important to stay hydrated for many reasons, including maintaining the body’s ability to regulate internal temperature and keeping joints lubricated, as well as preventing infections and keeping organs functioning properly. Being well-hydrated also helps to improve your sleep quality, ability to focus, and can boost your overall mood and health.

How much water it takes to rehydrate can vary from person to person, and on how much water you’re looking to replenish. However, it’s always recommended that you sip water regularly throughout the day – as drinking too quickly actually slows down the hydration process – and aim for around two to three ounces.

Steadily drinking water is effective at rehydrating, however, Pocari Sweat has been scientifically proven to rehydrate you faster and for longer than drinking water by itself. You can find out more about how Pocari Sweat works to rehydrate you here.

Many things happen to the body when you are dehydrated, however, the most common signs and symptoms of dehydration are:

- Increased thirst
- Dry mouth
- Dry skin
- Tiredness
- Dizziness
- Headache
- Infrequent urination

The colour of your urine can also be a useful indicator of your hydration levels. Generally, the paler the color, the better hydrated you are. However, color can change for other reasons including diet, using medications, and some medical conditions. Find out more here.

The best drink for dehydration is one that can replace the essential electrolytes that are lost when you sweat. These include nutrients such as sodium, sugar, magnesium, and carbohydrates. This is why Pocari Sweat is formulated to replicate the body’s natural balance of nutrients, so you can recover quickly and for longer.
