We all have hydration receptors throughout our body (both within the cells and extra-cellular)
These receptors ensure our bodies maintain homeostasis or equilibrium (prevent dehydration)
There are many causes of dehydration including, but not limited to: exercise, altitude, low humidity environments, heat exposure and illness
There are three, generally accepted, stages of dehydration:
- Mild (loss of 1-5% of body weight)
- Moderate (6-9%)
- Severe (10% or more)
Various scientific studies suggest that as little as a 2% decline in hydration can result in up to a 10% reduction in athletic performance. With dehydration (which includes changes in sodium levels), side effects can include:
- Headaches, dizziness or light-headedness
- Muscles cramping
- Thirst or dry mouth
- Muscle Fatigue
- Deep or rapid breathing
- Low blood pressure and/or weak pulse
- Temperature drop (especially the extremities)
- Dry eyes
- Confusion or Disorientation
The Right Stuff helps prevent and relieve the symptoms associated with dehydration better than any other formula tested by NASA!
