In the sports world, no matter the sport, a word, repeated three times emphasizes its importance.
Hydrate, hydrate and hydrate.
The team at Harvard T.H. Chan, School of Public Health educates, “Drinking enough water each day is crucial for many reasons: to regulate body temperature, keep joints lubricated, prevent infections, deliver nutrients to cells, and keep organs functioning properly. Being well-hydrated also improves sleep quality, cognition, and mood.”
That’s a lot, and there are few things that can dehydrate you more than extensive sports exertion.

We realized that the great Femwrestle Events were the, then known, world’s greatest female submission wrestling events. What we didn’t realize is that many of those matches took 20 minutes to fulfill.
That is a long time to be going full speed, which most of the great international female wrestlers did.
Still?
Twenty minutes?
Who thought of that concept?
A female wrestler will absolutely have to hydrate.
Here is a brief excerpt from a match between Germany’s Brenda and Czech Republic’s Lilith.
“The two girls slowly engage. Almost like a cat and mouse game. Who will get the headlock first? Brenda attaches Lilith’s wrists. Brenda leaps for the headlock first.
Gets it too.
She now has Lilith bent over, from the side, and in trouble. Brenda secures her top position. Though she has a powerful headlock, Lilith is refusing to yield. She keeps pressing to roll Brenda so that, even though she may still be in the headlock, it will not have as much crunching power.
It seems to be working.
Both girl’s backs are on the blue mats.
Slowly Lilith is breaking free.
Slowly.
She finally does, slides on top of Brenda’s back and clasps the Blonde in a chin lock. Brenda taps out.
Bravo. Applause. That was masterful. Lilith endured and waited patiently for her opening and when she got it, she immediately made the most of it. Now that is what this match should have been like all along, shaved down to 10 minutes.
12-4 for Lilith (15:23).
The girls take a brief pause. They ask how much time is left and when the referee says only five minutes, both girls looked shocked. Really? After all of this?
Apparently they agree with us. This match was way too long. They are troopers and will fight out the last five minutes.”
They did and absolutely needed to hydrate after that match.
Water, of course, is the best source of hydration.
It can be a little bland, so what can spice up your water after a tough wrestling match and give it some flavor?

Lemon Perfect's new 15.2-fluid ounce bottles will replace the original 12-fluid ounce size, giving consumers more of their favorite flavored lemon water — with more value — in every delicious and refreshing bottle
ATLANTA, Jan. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Beyoncé-backed Lemon Perfect, the fastest-growing brand in the Flavor-Enhanced Water category*, announced today that in response to consumer demand, the company is rolling out larger bottles across its entire lineup and launching three new flavors: Blueberry, Coconut, and Watermelon.
The new 15.2-fluid ounce bottles will replace the original 12-fluid ounce size, a direct response to consumers wanting more of the flavored lemon water in every single-bottle serving. The new bottle shape and size will help Lemon Perfect increase its visual presence in retail outlets across America, particularly in convenience store refrigerators, where Lemon Perfect is expanding rapidly in 2024. The larger bottles will provide added value to consumers, with a suggested retail price of $2.29 (approximately 10% savings per ounce compared to the 12-fluid ounce bottles).
As consumers embark on the new year with a commitment to health and wellness, Lemon Perfect provides both functional benefits and convenience — without compromising on taste. All Lemon Perfect bottles contain the juice of half an organic lemon, are high in vitamin C, and are gently processed via flash pasteurization, or HTST, an eco-friendly technique that best maintains freshness without preservatives. This process naturally maintains the hydrating superfruit benefits of freshly squeezed lemons.
Along with its larger bottles, Lemon Perfect is introducing three delicious and refreshing new flavors to its lineup: Blueberry, Coconut, and Watermelon.
"We've been perfecting these exciting new flavors for the last two years and have been waiting for the launch of our larger bottles to add them to our lineup," said Lemon Perfect Founder & CEO Yanni Hufnagel.
"From day one, we've prioritized taste — while maintaining all the health benefits of organic lemon water — in flavor innovation. Our three new flavors earned rave reviews in all our consumer testing and were particularly praised for maintaining Lemon Perfect's mouthwatering drink experience. With Blueberry, Coconut, and Watermelon added to our core, Lemon Perfect's lineup is unparalleled in the Flavor-Enhanced Water category, and we can't wait for America's enthusiastic feedback."
Lemon Perfect is available in all 50 states in retailers including Publix, Kroger, Costco, Sam's Club, Whole Foods, Target, Albertsons, CVS, and many more.
