The importance of good hydration
A good fluid balance is important because water is essential for virtually all bodily processes. In addition, sufficient fluids during prolonged, intense activities ensure proper muscle function and reduce the risk of cramps, allowing you to maintain optimal performance.
The benefits of a good fluid balance
- Optimal body function – Water helps regulate body temperature, aid digestion and nutrient absorption.
- Energy and concentration – A lack of fluids can lead to fatigue, headaches and concentration problems.
- Waste Removal – Water helps the kidneys remove waste products from the body through urine.
- Healthy skin – Sufficient moisture keeps the skin hydrated and prevents dehydration and premature aging.
- Good digestion – Water plays a role in the breakdown and absorption of food and prevents constipation.
- Muscle and joint support – Hydration provides lubrication to joints and prevents cramps.

O.R.S. (Oral Rehydration Salts) is a ready-to-use glucose-salt preparation that you can use to replenish fluid loss. O.R.S. is especially useful for fluid loss due to diarrhea, vomiting, excessive sweating, or fever. It contains a mixture of salts and glucose, which helps the body absorb and retain fluids more effectively.
