Hydration: Facts and Fiction

Thursday, July 29th, 2010 Posted by Rob

When if comes to hydration there are many more facts to report than fiction. The most important thing to remember about proper hydration is that, not all hydration is created equal. For example; one cup of coffee is not equal to one cup of water. That’s because coffee is a diuretic – so are many other beverages, such as tea and soda.

Proper hydration is essential to good health, and necessary for the prevention of dehydration…

Signs and symptoms of dehydration include:

  • Mild to excessive thirst
  • Fatigue
  • Headache
  • Dry mouth
  • Little or no urination
  • Muscle weakness
  • Dizziness
  • Lightheadedness
