Got Water?

Our bodies are made up of 75% water & 25% solid matter.  The brain is 85% water.  Research has shown that we need one-half our body's weight in fluid ounces per day.  This does not include coffee, teas, alcohol, juices, etc...  During normal activity our bodies loose at least 3 quarts of water each day.

"The simple truth is that dehydration can cause disease."  Dr. Batmanghelidj, author of Your Body's Many Cries for Water

Fluid Replacement Chart....

Note: If you are physically active or working under hot weather conditions, you will need more water.

8 x 8 rule: drink eight ounces of water, eight times per day, 2 quarts total.  Metric equivalent: .24 liters eight times per day, 1.9 liters total.

Body weight-ounce rule: drink one-half of your body's weight in fluid ounces per day.   Example: 150 lb (68.0 kg) = 75 fl. oz (2.2 l)   or 2.3 quarts 175 lb (79.4 kg) = 87.5 fl. oz (2.6 l)   or 2.7 quarts 200 lb (90.7 kg) = 100 fl. oz (2.9 l)   or 3.1 quarts

Hydrogen

A person who weighs 175 lbs. (80 kg) has about 15 lbs (7 kg) of hydrogen in his or her body*.  That's a lot of hydrogen... another good reason not to smoke !!!
