Do You Drink Enough Water?

How do you know if you are drinking enough water each day? 
Answer: Do you sweat when you exercise / workout?  If you said yes, then chances are you are drinking enough water.  If you answered-- sometimes or no, then you are probably not getting enough water.  The human body requires water to function and there is a long grocery list of body parts that requires water to function. (brain, heart, liver, lungs, hair, nails, etc)  Your body will only sweat if you have supplied it with enough water. If you are low in your water intake, your body will not sweat but instead it feel deprived and keep the water in the body and not let it out. 

How do you determine how much water to drink each day?  Some experts say a person needs to drink 6-8 glasses.  This leads into the next question:  How many ounces is one glass?  The best solution to determine one's daily intake of water - weight divided by 2.  This is how many ounces you will need each day of water. 

Example:
Weight = 200 lbs

                   ÷ 2

                  100 ounces per day

Sweat isn't going to happen overnight.  Try this new formula for 4-6 weeks.  After this time, check sweat levels during your next workout session.  You should see a dramatic difference.  Daily water intake is great for your skin and will make you feel and look like a whole new person.

Happy Running!
