Another Power Player on Your Team
Water is a power player on your support team. It carries nutrients to cells and removes waste products. Water is also needed to help regulate body temperature. It makes up 55-75% of your body weight.
When you sweat during exercise, it's easy to become overheated, headachy, and worn out - especially in hot or humid weather. Even mild dehydration can affect an athlete's physical and mental performance - not a good thing!
Most people need about 6-8 glasses of water each day. If you're playing sports, exercising, or just plain running around with your friends on a hot summer day, you'll need more. Click here for more information.
