Food for Thought Friday - Hydration
This post is timely, as it's getting hot! There are a myriad of reasons to stay hydrated, a few include:
So, don't forget to drink water. The rule of thumb is 8 glasses per day, but this is dependent on three factors: your body mass, the temperature of your environment, and your activity level. Just the last two factors alone dictate that we should be drinking more than the basic recommendation.
Start the habit of drinking a full glass of water upon waking. We can lose up to a pound of water per night. Invest in a glass or stainless steel water container and have a goal each day. Always drink water at the gym.
Cheers!
