Water, water everywhere
Posted Monday, July 31, 2006 at 02:41PMCan’t quite manage to gulp down the eight glasses of water everyone - especially those of the athletic ilk - need daily to stay happily hydrated? Teacherwoman at Running For Me recently asked her readers to share their tips on reaching optimal water intake. A few of our favorite recommendations:
From Nesse: “i actually like all waters, plain and flavored, and try to drink 32oz before lunch and 32oz after lunch, i don’t always make it, sometimes less, sometimes more, i think the key is always having it with you, at your desk, in the car, etc.”
From Annette: “Water - I love it! For those who don’t… . my friend adds powdered Crystal Light to her water. To add to what neese said about the lemon, some people like to add cucumbers to their water, too - refreshing! And then there’s always fresh brewed iced tea - yum!”
From Denise: “I ALWAYS drink two glasses of Powerade before each run and seems to work very well. I then make sure I have 16-24 oz of sports drink AFTER the run too, then 84 oz or more of water until I go to bed. I do consume it and it helps.”
