STAYING HYDRATED.............

STAYING HYDRATED!!!.....................!!!.......................!!!............




Well, here's some good advice on hydration.

Why hydration matters: Good hydration helps prevent constipation,asthma,elevated blood glucose and protects against heart damage.Mild hydration(a one and a half percent loss of normal water volume) reduces energy,affects mood and hampers memory.


How much you should drink: About 22 percent of water you consume comes from food.The rest about 50 to 60 ounces a day should come from liquids such as coffee,pure water and juices with pulp.

What you should drink: Unless you are exercising in hot weather,avoid sports drink and liquids with added sugar(especially high fructose corn syrup) and drink only as much coffee as your nerves and stomach can handle(less than five cups won't hydrate).The rest? Good old pulp-filled fruit and vegetable juice,and lots of water.
