DRINK 8 Glasses of WATER a Day to keep the THIRST AWAY!

Did you know Water is 2/3 of the earth's surface and 90% of your body mass?

DEHYDRATION:

Dehydration Severely Impacts Athletic Performance And Endurance
It's a known fact that a well-hydrated athlete always functions at a higher level than a dehydrated one.
What are the effects of dehydration?
It increases muscle glycogen use, which leads to premature fatigue. A 3- to 5% drop of water in the body can cause lightheadedness, headaches, dizziness and nausea. A 7% drop can cause hallucinations and worse.
Dehydration also raises the body's core temperature, which can lead to heat stroke and in extreme cases, even death.
The solution, of course, is to drink plenty of water.
If you are an active adult and exercise regularly, you should be drinking two-thirds of an ounce of water daily for each pound of body weight. If you plan to engage in prolonged and strenuous exercise you should drink 17 ounces of water two hours before exercise to allow time for adequate hydration and excretion of excess water. While exercising vigorously, you should be drinking 5- to 12 ounces of water every 15 minutes to match sweat loss. After all, sweat is 90 to 99% water.
