60-78% of our body is made of water (depending on your age). This means water is VERY Important. The Institute of Medicine advises that men consume roughly 3 liters (about 13 cups) and women consume 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) total beverages a day. This does included the water you need to intake during exercise. While working out you should have 8 oz (1 cup) every 15-20 minutes. That is on top of the daily total intake needed. Really if you start consuming the right amount of water - You WILL start to feel better. Try it!!
How? You ask. Here are some ideas.
* The average mouth full of water is 2 oz. So 4 month fulls equal 1 cup. So every time you leave your desk take a couple big month fulls of water from the drinking fountain.
* Also have a water bottle with you.
* Put 13 or 9 rubber bands around your wrist and take each one off as your drink a cop of water. By the end of the day you better have all the rubber bands off.
* Carry a full jug of water with you and drink it all before the day is over.
* If you don't like the taste of water - add Crystal Light or Lemon (or something like that) to add flavor to your water.
