reliable gauge of the water needs for the body.  By the time you are thirsty you have already lost two

waiting until you are thirsty.

It is very important that you don’t substitute beverages with alcohol and caffeine for water.  The
reason behind this is that those types of beverages act as a diuretic and can cause you to lose more
weight through increased urination.  You may think and feel as if you are getting more water through
these beverages, although the fact is that you are letting it go almost as fast as you consume it.

Anytime you exercise, you need more water. Due to perspiration, your body will lose quite a bit of
water.  For each pound lost due to exercise, you need to drink 2 cups of water.  Even when you lay down
to sleep, your body loses water.  By drinking a glass or more of water before you go to sleep, you
can wake up with your body functioning as it should be.

It should become more obvious that when you are sick you’ll need more water than any other tine.  When
you get a cold or the flu, your body can become dehydrated quite quickly.  You can help to prevent
this by drinking more water at times when you become sick.

is a subject you should explore yourself as you determine the best type of water for yourself.

Always make it a habit to drink water on a daily basis.  You should keep a bottle of water with you
at all times and drink it throughout the day.  You should also teach yourself to drink water instead
of other beverages that don’t replenish the nutrients your body needs.
