Why Water?
 Without question, the human body if the most impressive machine ever created. The ability to regenerate, adapt, and create are unique to the animal kingdom. But nothing we do, or could potentially do, would be possible without water. Our bodies are composed of 85% water. We use water for everything from cellular level metabolism to thermoregulation. And your hydration status significantly affects your health, body composition and fitness. So what are the “real” recommendations regarding water consumption?
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recommends that adults consume “6-8 eight ounce glasses of water a day.” While this can easily be achieved by coupling water consumption with breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner and prior to bed, most of us do not adhere to this “regular” meal routine. Another reasonable approach is to have water available (ie carry a water bottle) throughout each day, and drink every 10-15 minutes. This approach is similar to how many of us “sip” coffee or tea.
