Water
is essential for life. You can survive 3 weeks without food, but
barely 3 days without water. So it’s obvious why hydration is so
important to health. But what truly hydrates us? Is it just water or
does a soda work, too? Patients always ask me what counts towards their
daily water intake and how much water they need to stay healthy.
In honor of Drink Water Month, I put together my list of what is and isn’t water.
5. Sports Drinks & Energy Drinks: Similar to soda, these drinks typically have additives that the body will have to work double-time to clear out including dyes, preservatives and sweeteners. While many think sports drinks are good for replenishing the body after physical activity, you’re better off with water and some energy rich foods like nuts, avocado or eggs.
That's just one of the many examples I have of where you can get your water. Check back next week for more!
