Stay Hydrated

According to the American Dietetic Association, 50 - 75 percent of the human body is made up of water. Every day you lose water through your breath, perspiration and urine so replenishing your body's water supply is crucial.

Follow these tips to maintain proper hydration:

- Drink eight to 10 glasses of water daily. Try to drink a glass of water with each meal and between each meal.
- Drink up! Don't wait until you become thirsty to drink fluids.
- Avoid alcohol, coffee, cola, tea and salt tablets. These increase dehydration.
- Start and end your day with water. Your body loses water while you sleep, so drink a glass before bed and again when you wake up.

Drinking enough water is particularly important during exercise when you’re sweating off extra fluid. Follow these hydration tips when you hit the gym:

- Drink about 17-20 ounces of water before a workout.
- Take a bottle of water with you when you exercise and try to drink at least every 15-20 minutes.
- If you exercise 60 minutes or more consider a sports drink with carbohydrates.
Drink plenty of water after you finish exercising.
