The importance of hydration in physical activities

The importance of hydration in physical activities

No need to be a high-level athlete to stay hydrated! 

Water is accessible to everyone, no matter your physical condition or the intensity of your training. Always make sure to keep a water bottle within reach.


Why choose Ö?

Ö has developed three product lines. No matter your age or activity level, there’s something for you. With our Ö Sport Health Solution line, not only can you stay well-hydrated during any physical activity, whether intense or moderate, but you’ll also replenish essential nutrients lost during exertion.

Hydration plan: when, what, and how to drink during training?

The importance of planning hydration is now well understood. In any situation, bring along your favorite reusable water bottle and refill it as needed, before, during, and after your workout.

• Before
If preparing for an endurance sport, such as a marathon, drinking plenty in the 24 hours before the event is recommended. Check in with your trainer, who can guide you on optimal hydration. However, if your activity is more accessible, like a hike, it’s generally recommended to drink 500 ml of water in the two hours before.

• During
Overhydrating can have unwanted effects. Drinking too much may disrupt your body’s water balance, so avoid overwhelming your kidneys and bladder! Take small sips every 15 to 20 minutes. This approach allows your body to better absorb nutrients in small doses and regulate body temperature.

• After
For workouts over an hour, aim to replace 1.5 times the fluids lost. Include minerals and carbs to replenish what was lost—Ö Sport Health Solution is designed specifically for this. For shorter workouts, still be sure to drink; don’t wait until you’re thirsty, as thirst signals dehydration. Our Ö Vitamin Health Solution is perfect in these situations.

What happens in the body during a workout is nothing short of miraculous

When considering the intricate processes involved in moving even a single toe, it’s clear that the human body is a machine that deserves proper care. Physical movement triggers countless chemical reactions fueled by various nutrients—and by water. Knowing that water is a key component of blood, and that blood transports life-sustaining elements to organs and tissues, it’s essential, especially after high-intensity exercise, to replace lost water and nutrients. Ö was designed with this purpose in mind. Not only do the delicious flavors of our solutions encourage hydration, but they’re also packed with the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients needed for an active life and optimal brain function. Be sure to measure carefully—use our dosing spoon!
