OK guys...I was gonna start a thread, but may just want to hijack this one...anyway, I drink at least 150 fl oz a day (Usually on workout days I'll drink up to 200fl oz) and I'm pissing ALL THE TIME. Thing is, I keep getting sick, literally every 2-3 months I'll get a cold that'll knock me for a few days (have one now on vaca, it SUCKS). Every doctor I've been to and had urine and blood tested says I'm ok due to how much i work out or run. I'd like to hear what some of you clowns think. If I try and cut down I feel so damn thirsty, but have a feeling that its all in my head. I've been on this water regiment since I started losing weight (was ~210, now am 165) which was 5 years ago.
Are you having general cold symptoms (sneezing,runny nose) or worse? You say "knock me for a few days"? Do you feel aches and pains similar to the flu symptoms?
Cold symptoms, mostly congestion and fatigue. Sometimes I'll ache but not always. I'm very active, usually work out 6 days a week.
Over the years, I have become increasingly interested in the value of resistance exercise in maintaining or increasing muscle mass and strength, as well as its impact on general health and wellbeing. Individuals engaging in resistance exercise are often concerned that they fuel themselves adequately afterwards. A usual goal here is to supply the muscle with the protein/amino acids required to repair and regenerate muscle.
I was interested to read a study recently which suggests that the effects of resistance exercise might be affected by our state of hydration [1]. In this study, young men performed resistance exercise in three states of hydration: normal hydration, 2.5 per cent dehydration, and 5.0 per dehydration. A number of physiological markers were assessed prior to and after exercise.
Two of the most notable findings of this study were that in a dehydrated state, the men experienced:
1. higher levels of ‘stress’ hormones cortisol and noradrenaline
2. lower levels of testosterone
This is relevant because, generally speaking, stress hormones such as cortisol are ‘catabolic’ – which means they facilitate the breakdown of body tissue including muscle. On the other hand, testosterone is ‘anabolic’ – meaning it stimulates muscle generation.
All-in-all, what these results show is that performing resistance exercise in a dehydrated state may lead to fewer gains in terms of muscle development. Another problem with dehydration is that it will generally lead to individuals being able to do less work in a given session too, further limiting the benefits to be had from the exercise.
for water it's eight eight ounce glasses a day (so 64oz) minimum. if you want to drink more and have to pee every hour then go for it. a good indicator that you're hydrated is clear pee. if it's yellow and smells then you're definitely dehydrated.
