I don't need no stinkin' water!

Yes! You need water (and more) to keep
the HUMAN engine running.

Our HUMAN engines need more than just high octane fuel to keep up optimum performance.  It needs water and re-hydration to keep the engine cooled and running efficiently.  As I am training for yet, another 60 mile walk as well as my first 5K (as a runner) it is important to keep fluid levels at an optimum.  During heavy exercise it is SO important to maintain, not only your water levels but also the body chemistry needed for optimum performance.

• Your body needs a way to minimize fluid loss during activity, or even daily doings when it is hot or extremely dry. (Winters up in the North would be an example of an extremely dry time. -You know who you are) :-)
• Your body needs a way to maintain steady blood-glucose levels to sustain energy output and to increase stamina.
• Your body needs increased endurance for better athletic performance.

I have found, use, and recommend a clinically proven way to hydrate better than water during heavy training. This product has MORE electrolytes and provides MORE energy than the leading hydration drink purchased from your local grocer to improve my athletic performance. (My hubby even asks for it when he is out working in the yard or on one of the vehicles.)  

In fact, this product is very similar to the drink our astronauts consume while in space and when returning from long stints in orbit to re-hydrate and maintain consciousness upon re-entry to our atmosphere. :-)

Contact us for more information!  Maybe even a sample.

I stand, walk, run, and parent behind my word, so does my vendor.

Check your Fluid Levels!

Luckily, our HUMAN engines don't require us to pop the cap on the radiator and avoid hot steam to check our fluid levels.

What are some signs that your fluid levels are low?

• Swollen Hands & Feet
• Constipation 
• Retaining Fluids
• Feeling Hungry
• Feeling Thirsty
• Decreased Urine Output
• Headache
• Dizziness 

Avoid these symptoms!  

Drink your minimum quantities of water per day. I know you know what that is, but I will repeat it for you anyway. :-)

1/2 your body weight in pounds = the number of ounces per day of WATER you should be consuming.

When you have an ample amount of water coursing through your system, everything works better and your system is less likely to Lock Up.  Just as our car's engine can overheat and lock up if we don't keep fluids in there, so can our human engine.  That's why we get swollen hands & feet & constipation - our system is locking up what little water IS available to protect itself.

While there are other factors to preventing dehydration, adequate water intake is number 1.

Now, go pour yourself a big, tasty glass of filtered water, and feel good knowing you love yourself and are taking good care of yourself!
