Healthy Lifestyle

In addition, Dion also emphasized the importance of a healthy lifestyle in supporting his physical and mental well-being in playing basketball.

"A healthy lifestyle has been implemented and become a habit, the most important thing is to drink enough water daily and maintain a balanced diet," said Dion.

Rest

Not only Dion, Tara Budiman also provides valuable tips for basketball players. She highly relies on balancing activities and rest.

"Besides nutrition, I also need sufficient rest because sports is 70% nutrition, but rest is also important. Many people neglect rest and continue to be productive, whereas rest can support mental health as well, so it must be prioritized," said Tara on the same occasion.

Adequate rest is not only important for physical recovery after exercise, but also for maintaining mental health and focus and concentration.

Basket Has Various Benefits

Through #MovementMatters, Sun Life strives to introduce the benefits of basketball as one of the favorite sports in Indonesia. Basketball not only has positive impacts on physical health, but also boosts self-confidence, reduces stress, and builds positive interaction and teamwork.

Reduce the Risk of Dehydration During Exercise with 5 Ways

Dream - Maintaining adequate body fluid before, during, and after exercise should not be underestimated. It is important to remember that the body's fluid composition reaches 60%, and physical activities such as exercise can deplete a lot of fluid from the body.

Water plays an important role in maintaining joint health, tissue structure, body temperature regulation, and delivering necessary nutrients. Nutritionist and sports expert, Nancy Clark, RD, emphasizes that many of us are often dehydrated.

If dehydration during exercise is still a problem, follow the steps that Dream has summarized from Health.com.

1. Choose the Right Sports Drink

When the body loses a lot of fluid during exercise, choosing the right drink to replenish fluids is crucial.

"If you lead an ordinary lifestyle, drinking water after exercise is sufficient," said Nancy.

If the exercise is more intense and lasts more than three hours, she recommends drinking chocolate milk.

"Chocolate milk contains sodium and calcium, which helps with sweat production. It also provides carbohydrates as an energy source," Nancy said.

Another alternative is coconut water, which can replace lost electrolytes due to sweat.
