Can you imagine a world where drinking water can make it easier to reach your fitness goal?
Runners and most fitness enthusiasts are familiar with lactic acid build-up after a hard session of exercise, we mere humans know it as the insane soreness of muscles after a lesser extreme session of exercise.
To much lactate in your blood can be problematic because it produces a burning sensation followed by a loss of power, which is not ideal when trying to reach a fitness goal both mentally and physically.
You may be wondering how water can be the solution to producing less lactic acid? Serious H₂O added extra oxygen to their natural spring water. The rest of the explanation is a chemical compound, but we will keep it simple.
According to Active, lactic acid is a by-product that’s created when we burn glycogen without oxygen as we run. The higher the intensity of the run, the more lactic acid we create. In the blood, it breaks down into lactate and hydrogen ions.
When hydrogen ions accumulate, it becomes difficult for the muscles to contract. That makes running feel more strenuous, and causes that distinct burning sensation we feel after a challenging workout.
But, if you keep oxygenated by drinking water with added oxygen you prevent the by-product lactic acid from being created in the first place, and if it does occur the recovery time is impeccable.
It’s as easy as drinking water, it will keep you motivated and help you reach your goals faster.
