Staying hydrated

[showtime104]

So I was planning on starting a cycle after the first of the year and I thought it would be a good idea to go in and take a physical to make sure im running at 100% but I feel great so the only thing I can think of that might cause me problems is staying hydrated because I work in a hot environment and sweat a lot and I really have a problem keeping fluids handy to drink because most the time Im wearing a mask or lying on the ground working so I try to make it up in the evenings but get sick of water quick. So Im askin is there anything I can drink to help me stay hydrated besides water or alter the water a bit to help because right now I just water everything down? any suggestions? and what if I get dehydrated while Im in a cycle

Hydration is about more than just water.

It's also potassium and sodium. You need minimum of 2500mg of potassium for 2000 calories. Drinking plain water will not replace the minerals lost when sweating. So make sure you take in lots of potassium, probably around 3-4g per day. Best sources I know of are celery and spinach.

PS: Expect this to get moved to another section of the forum, probably diet and nutrition.

It's all about the electrolytes man

I would mix gatorade/powerade with water and make the effort/take breaks to drink throughout the day. It's much easier and wiser to stay hydrated and drink even when not thirsty than it is to get hydrated and trying to make up for it at night. Then you're waking up all night pissing the gallon you tried to guzzle down before bedtime. Maybe get a "camelback" with tube extending from backpack to your mouth/neck area so you can take quick convenient drinks. You have to overcome and adapt to put hydration #1 priority.
