Faster Workout Recovery with Berkey
Running, biking, swimming, and hitting the gym are a few activities that are an excellent source of movement for the human body. Before, during, and after exercise, water hydration is crucial to recover from soreness and stress that the body undergoes. Staying hydrated provides better overall energy, plus alleviates future soreness, and helps joints feel less stiff.
Faster Recovery
Drinking water before, during, and after a workout can help flush out toxins in the body and recover from soreness quicker. Sore muscles are the result of strength building and can be hard to work through at times. During this period, dehydration can leave the body's muscles feeling sluggish and imbalanced, making them tired and hurt longer.
Joint Lubrication
Found in the cavities of human joints is a fluid called Synovial Fluid. Water is a crucial nutrient to this fluid, helping to relieve movements by lubricating and protecting the joints. Drinking water during the added stress from demanding activities allows for more fluid to be applied to the joints, assisting in performance and lifespan.
Energy
To work at their optimal level, muscles in the human body requires balance. Neglecting water consumption before exercise drains your muscles from getting enough electrolytes resulting in dehydration and reducing the body's energy levels. The benefit of drinking water before, during, and after activities allows your body to become more awake, alert, and energized.

The Quality of Water Maters
