Water

[Stacey Jones]

Hi Hannah! I know we all know water is good for us but I wondered if you could shed some light on all the benefits of water, how much we really need, and the pros and cons of water such as propel vs. plain water?
Thanks ~ Staceyj

IBWA (International Bottled Water Association) has a neat hydration calculator, as well as guidelines for why water is important, what is does, when you should drink more/less, etc. this is a fun site! try the calculator and see if you are anywhere in the suggested range-

also, propel is NOT a good alternative to plain water unless you are in intense heat or running a marathon. it has too much sugar; very much like gatorade. try the crystal light packs in plain water; they rock!!

Those with greater girth are not able to calculate the water consumption needs.

Hannah,
I have always used crystal light, I think I am addicted to the stuff. When I teach water fitness though I have a terrible habit of drinking propel, maybe it is just me but I feel more thirsty after drinking that stuff! Thanks for the info!!!!!!!
