Most of us realize the importance of hydration while exercising; drinking water before, during, and after workouts regulates your body temperature, delivers nutrients and oxygen to your cells, and removes waste. But did you know that proper hydration is also an essential part of the recovery process if you have an injury? How Water Helps with Recovery 1. Muscular Repair Exercise causes muscles to become stronger by breaking them down, and then rebuilding them using muscle protein synthesis. However, this process requires the muscles to be hydrated. If you are dehydrated following an injury, your recovery process slows immensely and halts the protein synthesis that rebuilds muscles. 2. Reduced Fatigue One of the most common signs of dehydration is fatigue. When you are dehydrated, your blood volume is decreased, which means that the heart has to work harder to pump the blood to all of the parts of your body that need its vital oxygen and nutrients which exhausts your body.Stay Hydrated
