Fact: 
In the hot months, don’t drink liquids that contain caffeine, alcohol, or large amounts of sugar –
These actually cause you to lose more body fluid.
An average adult body is 50 to 65 percent water; that's roughly 45 quarts. Water plays several crucial roles in the body. It helps regulate temperature, carries nutrients and oxygen, and removes waste. It also cushions joints and organs, which is why it is important to focus on your personal well-being by reminding yourselves to re-hydrate our body fluids in the summer months.
What goes in comes out.
Everyday you lose about 2.5 liters of water through normal sweating, exhalation and elimination. To function properly, you need to replace this daily water loss by consuming beverages and foods. |
