How to keep hydrated:

Hydration and it's Impact on Health

PROPER HYDRATION REQUIRES H20

While it's true any cool drink will quench your thirst—only plain water hydrates the body without giving it an additional job to do.

This is because the body reads soda's, teas, etc. as it does food, and processess it accordingly. Whereas because the body is mostly comprised of water, no additional processing is necessary. So when you take a drink of purified water, the body gets a break, it can simply replenish itself.

Another thing to keep in mind is the sensation of thirst.

Too often people are unaware of being dehydrated and continue living this way, unaware of the many health issues that can arise. Plus, over time years of subtle dehydration can deaden sensitivity to thirst.
