90% OF AMERICANS ARE


ARE YOU CHRONICALLY DEHYDRATED???

THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER:
How much water should I drink?

Take your weight and multiple it by 60%......example ( if you weigh 200 pounds you would get 120) take that 60% and turn it into ounces. (in this case 120oz you should be drinking on a daily basis)
NOW lets suppose your over weight.....
You should drink an addition 8oz for every 25lbs that you are carrying over your ideal weight.
THEN what about working out? For every hour you work out you should consume an additonal 20oz
Lets sum it up
If you weigh 200 pounds, work out for 2hrs, and your ideal weight is 175 you should be drinking
120oz+40oz+8oz=168 ounces
A fluid loss of even 2% of body weight will adversely effect cirulatory funtions and derease performance levels, impair metabolic functions, increase appeitite, and lower liver and endocrine glands.
