The Importance of Staying Hydrated
Drinking enough water is one of the most important things you can do for your body every day. Why is it then that so many of us suffer from chronic dehydration? 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. Most people are so used to being dehydrated that they no longer recognize the normal signal of thirst. The human body is about 60% water, your muscles and your brain are about 75% water, your blood is about 82% water, and your bones are about 25% water. Water is required for everything from regulating blood pressure and body temperature to making sure your heart works correctly and that your brain is capable of doing its daily tasks.
When our body is dehydrated it doesn't work as efficiently and even mild dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%. Slower metabolism means more fat stored and less used as fuel for your body.
How much should you drink? Some experts believe you can estimate the amount of water you need by taking your weight in pounds and dividing that number in half. That give you the number of ounces you may want to drink each day. For example, if you weigh 160 pounds, you might want to drink at least 80 ounces of water or other fluids per day. If you exercise, you should drink another eight ounce glass of water for every 20 minutes you are active. Drink up!
