In addition to Terri's response I would add that water is essential for repacking glycogen into the skeletal muscles. It takes 3 grams of water to pack 1 gram of glycogen. Glycogen, the storage molecule for glucose, is obviously critical for vigorous and/or sustained exercise. One point to keep in mind is that a muscle only metabolizes fatty acids in the mitochondria if there's adequate glucose available. If a muscles "runs out" of glycogen further contraction won't occur. Runners call this "hitting the wall," cyclists "bonking."
Another important point is consume water in small amounts (1-2 oz) at a time as this allows the water to move from the digestive tract into the bloodstream, where it's needed. Drinking large volumes all at once only challenges the kidneys to filter a substantial volume and spill it in the urine.
Take care.

Water is a transport for nutrients, gases and waste products. It is also a heat regulator. Obviously it is a necessity for all living entities. The mayo clinic recommends eight 8 ounces glasses per day for the average person.

Hello Terri,
I also agree with Danielle and water will also aid with weight loss by speeding up your metabolism. I always stress the importance of water with my clients and I make sure they have water breaks and bring a water bottle of their choice.

You need to atleast drink 8-9, 8oz glasses of water a day. And for every cup of caffine (which dehydrates the body) you need to add another glass. Your body is actually already very dehydrated by the time you get dry mouth. Dehydration causes the body not to function to its fullest capacity. Thats why in hot weather it is important to drink a lot of water and drinks with electrolytes to keep your system functioning at the right levels. Water accounts for 60% of your body weight. Every system i.e. digestive needs water to function.
The benefits of drinking water is to eleminate toxins in the body. I am sure you have heard after a massage to drink plenty of water. This is due to the fact the massage moves around the toxins that were in the tight muscles. Water flushes the toxins out. Helps control cholesterol and hypertension deposits in the arteries due to dehydration. It helps you sleep better at night it acts like melatonin. Lack of water causes you to feel dizzy and not think clearly. Your skin will look great and moist and an added plus you look younger. Also one of the top benefits is it helps you loose weight, by breaking down metabolic proteins and charbohydrates.
I know it sounds weird but if you are retaining water it is from dehydration. Your body thinks it isn't going to get any more so your systems hold on to the water in your body causing bloating. So drink up and loose that bloat.
Water is the best thing you can drink and help you stay healthy and loose weight.

Terrific Answers. Dont forget that in Hot Climate States with high heat indexes (relative temperature with relation to humidity/ Humidex) and other variables, the avergae 8 on 8oz will not be enough. The setting will regulate the water dosages as well as proper electrolyte ingestion within the hydration process..

Alot more than I do!
I'd say at LEAST 62 ounces a day depending of course on the climate and the intensity of your workouts!
When I don't get enough water I feel my energy drop and I feel sluggish
It's an extremely important molecule!
