Exclamation "How Much Water Should We Drink??"

"How Much Water Should We Drink??"

H2O - Most experts agree that a good rule of thumb is to drink at least eight 8-oz. glasses of water. But....everyone is different...I've been hearing this for years) we all have unique water needs, depending on many factors. There used to be a hydration calculater on Brita.com...(now it's not there...)....today I found a new one when I was checking out info on Penta Water.....

Thought I'd share it with you all.
I know my Dr. says a minimum of 50oz. and on this board many say at least 64oz. This IBWA Hydration Calculator is easy to use...just enter you weight and the # of minutes you will be exercising today - and the calculator will tell you the recommended water intake that is tailored for your individual need.
Cool thing....it also gives you a schedule of the best times of day to fulfill your daily requirement.

Sounds cool huh....???
_________________________________
Here is mine:

Your total water intake today should be approximately:
122.5 oz. The best time of day for you to drink water:
  • WAKE UP
  • BEFORE BREAKFAST
  • MID A.M.
  • BEFORE LUNCH
  • MID P.M.
  • BEFORE DINNER
  • MID EVENING
  • BEFORE BED
(Remember: 80% of this amount is met by consuming water and beverages, while the other 20% is derived from foods.)
__________________________________________________ ________

~little disclaimer~ I copied most of this information from the site where the calculator lives!!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Default More Water Info...

In case you didn't notice...I'm trying to motivate myself in my water drinking....I've been sooo bad with my hydration....
Here are more WATER FACTS:

Water's Role in the Body

Water helps nearly every part of the human body function efficiently. Considering that our bodies are almost two-thirds water, it is important to understand water's role in healthy lifestyles. The following are just some of the things water does in the body:
  • Brain is 75% water / Moderate dehydration can cause headaches and dizziness
  • Water is required for breathing
  • Regulates body temperature
  • Carries nutrients and oxygen to all cells in the body
  • Blood is 92% water
  • Moistens oxygen for breathing
  • Protects and cushions vital organs
  • Helps to convert food into energy
  • Helps body absorb nutrients
  • Removes waste
  • Bones are 22% water
  • Muscles are 75% water
  • Cushions joints



Hoping you will get as much from this info as I am....It's all sooo interesting!!

MINE says 64 ounces...but my crystal light, protein shake and other liquids i have thru the day count in the total as well as plain water.

I will say that i belive dehydration causes the dizziness and probably
is the factor when i get those bouts when i get up and have bad dizziness.

Keep in mind your plumbing is a bit different from non-ops, so the rate you hydrate/dehydrate is going to be not quite the same as non-ops.

I think you'll feel pretty bloated if you drank 80% of 122, so that would be 98....
Mine came up as 83.5(an hour at the gym planned) so...about 67...
Yeah, minimum 64 would be fine, don't sweat about getting in twice as much, no one is going to make it...unless you're a hard training athlete.
