SANTA CROCE MINERALWATER,  TEACH YOURSELF HOW AND WHEN TO DRINK
Water is essential for those who deal with sports. If you go in for sports, you'll always need to restore the loss of liquids from your organism. Water, thanks to its charge in minerals, helps to restore the body by supplying the necessary salts. But not all waters are the same, not all of them help in the same way. So it's important to know how to select the best water for your physical needs as well as for its pleasant flavour. Every water has specific characteristics depending on the kind of salts it contains, the so-called 'residue' (the quantity of salt-deposit in a liter of water after evaporation at 180°C) How can you single out which is the best water for you? Just read the label.

HOW TO RESTORE LIQUIDS. WITHOUT FATIGUE
As a general rule, water should be reintroduced with the same speed the body uses for losing it. So it's quite important, when planning a sporting event, to schedule the need for re-hydrating. That's why it's necessary to carry a Santa Croce sportscup with you. So easy and handy. That's THE  way for enjoying its feeling-good effect.

ANY OCCASION WILL DO FINE FOR FEELING GOOD
Santa Croce water suggests you drink one or two glasses in the morning as soon as you get up and to do the same at night when you go to sleep. It's furthermore perfect for drinking on an empty stomach, especially when you are on a diet, as the water fills the stomach and diminishes appetite. But then Santa Croce water remains the best choice for enhancing the pleasures of eating, at home or at the restaurant. It makes conviviality easier: all together in the café, at a meeting among friends or with any other sort of pleasant pastime.  From a candle-light dinner to the most frenzied night at the disco, the quality and the pureness of Santa Croce water have always a beneficial effect, because it gives you the rhythm for feeling good. A sportsman needs around 1 gal. a day. Among all sorts of liquids the only essential one is water. Possibly a particularly light and easily absorbable oligo-mineral water, with the right residue (nor to high, neither to low, containing little sodium and nitrates). One starts drinking  two hours before the beginning of the effort ( at least two glasses), during the training session or competition ( little sips at room temperature) and at the end of the athletic effort ( at least half a gallon)

WHY DOES ONE LOSE LIQUIDS?
During a physical effort, the body loses liquids and mineral salts through perspiration. After a long effort this may cause metabolic acidosis. If one doesn't reintroduce liquids, the body may suffer dehydration. As a consequence one alters the thermoregulation of the body temperature and this influences negatively the athletic performance. Just know that a loss of 5% of total body liquids may cause cramps and reduces the performance for a 30%.

SODIUM
Daily we need 2 gr. of sodium, obtainable with a normal nutrition. The excess of sodium might cause high pressure and renal fatigue. Thus another reason for drinking a light water containing little sodium, rapidly absorbable, that restores the liquids lost through perspiration. As a matter of fact, the low content in sodium promotes the action of potassium as the principal cation in intra-cellular liquids and plays an essential part in the membrane potential, the acid/basic equilibrium and the osmotic pressure. The sodium-potassium pump is responsible for maintaining, inside the cells, a high concentration of potassium and a low one of sodium.
As a general rule, the requirements for water should be restored with the same velocity with which it is eliminated, so it's useful to schedule one's needs in occasion of a sporting event. A mineral water low in sodium facilitates the action of potassium and the sodium-potassium-pump, fighting liquid retention, while supporting diuresis and the renal metabolism. Its assumption helps regulate a perfect hydro-mineral balance. Allessandra Pelonara, fitness-instructor and teacher, presents and recommends the Bcube Academy's Fitbox.

ACQUA SANTA CROCE, A WINNER BEYOND COMPARISON IN SPORTS
In conclusion, the water's low contents in nitrates (1,2mg/l) make it particularly pure, considering that the OMS (World Health Organization) advises to consume water with a maximum of 10mg/l nitrates-level. With its specific characteristics Santa Croce water always wins the comparison with other fine mineral-waters and recommends it particularly before, during and after physical efforts. When you're training, during competition, but above all when you need to restore a perfect psychophysical condition for a sense of general well-being. Santa Croce water has all the qualities and beneficial properties necessary for restoring the sportsman's hydro-mineral balance. Read the label carefully. Acqua Santa Croce is an oligo-mineral water low in sodium (0,95 mg/l)\ that helps regulate a perfect hydro-mineral-balance of the organism. It's easily assimilable and doesn't provoke liquid retention. Thanks to its  'well-balanced' residue of 173,3mg, it exerts a beneficial action during the whole of the sportsman's practises, yielding precious oligo-elements such as calcium, magnesium and bicarbonate.
