Hydration
Hydrated cells are healthy cells. A well-hydrated cell absorbs oxygen and nutrients and disposes of toxins and waste efficiently. Dehydrated cells are inefficient cells. Unfortunately, thirst is not an accurate guide to the body's hydration levels. By the time you feel thirsty, you already are dehydrated.

Everyone should drink more water.

* 37% of people mistake dehydration for hunger. They eat when they should drink.
* Discover your optimum water intake by dividing your total body weight in kilograms by 30. The result is how many litres of water you need to drink each day. So a 60 kilogram person would need 2 litres of water per day. Keep in mind that certain health, exercise and climate conditions make the amount go up. It never goes down.
* Pregnant women should drink a minimum of 2 to 3 litres per day.

Physical activity increases the need for hydration.

* Vigorous exercise for 30 minutes requires at least half a litre for rehydration.
* Workouts longer than 30 minutes require more than a half a litre to one litre for rehydration.
* Water should be consumed before, during, and after each workout.

Caffeine has a dehydrating effect.

* Coffee, tea, and many soft drinks contain large amounts of caffeine.
* Drinking caffeinated beverages do not hydrate the body.
* For every cup of caffeinated beverage, you should drink an additional two cups of water to counteract the dehydrating effects of caffeine beverage.

For hydration, all fluids are not equal. In fact, not all water is equal, either. Read more.
