AKASPORT Health - Resolution #217

For your sake, please, Drink more Water!

How much water should we be drinking daily?  What's healthy...what have you been told?  Turns out, though I thought I was drinking a lot of or an adequate/healthy amount of water, well, I was way off.

Answer:  Half your body weight in ounces.  (i.e. a 200 pounder is supposed to drink 100 ounces, or 2.98 liters, a day!!)  http://www.watercure.com/faq.html And if you're an avid athlete you should be drinking close to your full weight in ounces.  Not to mention drinking more to make up for all the caffeine and sugar that we take in.

"The human body is a water machine, designed to run primarily on water and minerals. By weight, our body is about 72% water, 8% chemical compounds, and 20% bone and solid tissue."  Water - the Foundation of a Healthy Body

So if you have had a difficult time coming up with your New Year's Resolution, well, here you go.  DRINK MORE WATER: more specifically, at least half your weight in ounces.
