Drinking plain water can lead to increased urination and dehydration. To optimize hydration, it's beneficial to incorporate small amounts of sodium into your water intake, which helps your body absorb fluids more effectively.

Balancing hydration during prolonged activities, like marathons, is crucial to prevent dehydration and maintain performance.In this clip
