June 2026 – Hydration & Recovery

Key Points

• Even mild dehydration (1–2%) can cause fatigue, headaches, and slower recovery.
• Water is best for most; electrolytes may help after long or sweaty workouts.
• Pale yellow urine = good hydration; dark = drink more.
• Rehydrate before, during, and after exercise.
• Hydration supports joint health and nutrient transport.

Actionable Challenge:
Drink half your body weight in ounces of water per day for a week, adjusting for sweat.
