Hydrate Daily

How much water do you get each day? A good rule of thumb is to drink half your weight in ounces. This could be water, tea, or other non-sugary or caffeinated beverages.

Why do you need fluids?

• Deliver necessary nutrients to your cells.
• Escort waste out of the body. 
• Lubricate joints.
• Help avoid constipation.
• Provide structure. 
• Maintain body temperature through sweet and heat conduction. 
• Helps maintain the body's pH. 
• Softens skin and adds moisture to tissues. 
• Keeps blood pressure and the heart functioning correctly. 

You're losing water all the time through sweating, breathing, and digestion. Rehydrate regularly to keep your body running smoothly. As a general rule, half your weight in ounces is a great goal for water intake. 

Tip: Keep a large water bottle or gallon sized jug with you and mark the times that you should hit your water goals. It's a constant reminder to drink your water!
