Proper Hydration Is Vital For Living; Not Just For Active Individuals!

On average, 64 ounces (1.8L) of water a day is considered optimal, but the need increases with exercise as well as other factors like heat and humidity.

The best way to combat dehydration is to keep a water bottle, hands-free system, or similar portable water container on hand and drink from it throughout the day.

The following tips should also help you stay hydrated:

• Drink before you feel thirsty.  Thirst is not an accurate indicator of hydration.

• Watch for signs of dehydration, including fatigue, headache, nausea, and light-headedness.

• Drink approximately two cups (.5L) of water in the two hours before exercising, then drink an additional 1/2–3/4 cups (118–172 ml) for every 15 minutes of activity.

• Water is the best fluid for staying hydrated during exercise sessions of
  less than one hour. For longer sessions, carbohydrate solutions can be beneficial.
