You've probably been told over and over again, but it can not be emphasized enough. Water is critical to your body, for hydration, survival, energy and multitudes of other reasons. Research shows that to determine the amount of water to drink, you should cut your weight in half, and drink that many ounces per day. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, drink 75 ounces of water daily. You should add another eight ounces of water for every twenty minutes of exercise or activity you perform. Staying hydrated is very important, especially with the hot summer months coming, and drinks such as coffee or alcohol can trick the body into thinking that water is being consumed. Be sure to drink water thoroughly throughout the day. Carry a bottle with you to work, school, the gym, and anywhere else you might go. Be sure not to freeze or re-use plastic bottles, as chemicals can be released into your water. Try getting a bottle you can re-fill that is BPA free! Good luck and stay hydrated!
