Did you know...

Something I found very interesting that we learned in Physiology class last week & wanted to share:

-Don't worry about all the hype in the news that says you have to constantly hydrate to be healthy. You don't need to drink unless you are thirsty. Your body has a built in mechanism...it's called 'thirst' (I'm sure you guys have heard of it). When you over-do it with constant drinks of water your kidneys are forced to work extra hard to filter it. It puts them into unecessary over-drive & just creates more...well...pee really.


Your body will tell you when it's thirsty, it's istinct.

So, it's okay if you forget your Nalgene bottle at home every once in a while. Don't worry! :)
