Integration and heat: what do you really need when temperatures rise?

With the arrival of scorching heat, many people begin to feel dull, dehydrated, and lacking energy. It's not just an impression: by sweating more, you lose mineral salts , fluids, and trace elements essential for the body's functioning. This translates into:

- Soft legs.

-Heavy head.

- Worse performance in training.

- Increased risk of cramps and injuries.

Water isn't enough: here's what you really lose when you sweat.

Drinking is essential, but it's not enough on its own. When you sweat, you lose:

- Sodium, potassium, magnesium: essential for muscles and electrolyte balance.

- Zinc and vitamin C: essential for immunity and protein synthesis.

- B vitamins: involved in energy production.

Working out in the summer? Watch out for these 3 common mistakes.

Don't change anything in your integration

Many people continue with their usual routine even at 35°C. Wrong. In summer, you may need more electrolytes and fewer stimulants.

Ignore mild dehydration

You don't have to faint: just 2% dehydration can reduce your performance and make you feel twice as tired.

Skip the post-workout snack

In the heat, your appetite decreases, but it's precisely after a workout that your body needs to be nourished and rebuilt. And no, fruit alone isn't enough.

Summer supplements that really make a difference

Electrolytes in powder or effervescent tablets
Ideal for drinking before or during training to combat cramps and fatigue. It's best if they contain magnesium and potassium.

Mineral salts with B vitamins
Not only do they rehydrate, but they also help maintain mental and physical energy.

Light and digestible proteins
In the heat, it's harder to eat after a workout. Protein powder helps you recover without weighing down your stomach.

Pre-workout without stimulants or with light caffeine
In summer, stimulants can increase sweating and the risk of overheating. Light or natural versions, with beta-alanine or citrulline, are best.

The heat requires more attention to hydration and supplementation. It's not about taking "more," but choosing what your body really needs during this time.
