giving Ithis Ipresentation Ito Ishare Ithe Ipros Iand Icons Iof Iwater Iversus IGatorade Ior IPowerade. IWaterIis
I
the Imost Iimportant Inutrient Ifor Ipeople. IYour Icells Ineed Iwater Ito Itransport Iessential Inutrients Iand
I
produce Ichemical Ireactions. IWithout Iwater Iyou Iwill Idie. IDrinking Iplenty Iof Iwater Iafter
I
practicing Iphysical Iexercise Iis Iimportant Ifor Ireplacing Ithe Ifluids Iyou Ilose I(1).
I
First, Ilet’s Italk Iabout Ithe Idaily Irecommendations Ifor Iwater Iintake. IMost Ipeople Ihave Iheard
of Ithe Ieight Iglasses Iof Ieight Iounces Iof Iwater Ia Iday, Iwhich Iis Icalled Ithe Ieight Iby Ieight Irule. IThis Iis
I
a Irespectable Iguideline Ito Ifollow. IIndividuals Iwater Ineeds Idepend Ion Imany Ifactors, Iincluding
I
I your Ihealth, Ihow Iactive Iyou Iare Iand Iwhere Iyou Ilive. IAccording Ito IThe INational IAcademies Iof
Sciences, IEngineering, Iand IMedicine Idetermined Ithat Ian Iadequate Idaily Ifluid Iintake Iis: IAbout
I
15.5 Icups I(3.7 Iliters) Iof Ifluids Ifor Imen, Iand I11.5 Icups I(2.7 Iliters) Iof Ifluids Ia Iday Ifor Iwomen I(2).
Even Ithough Ithere Iare Ino Iofficial Iguidelines Iregarding Ia Isports Idrink Iconsumption, Isports Idrinks
are Idesigned Ifor Irecovery Iand Ihydration Irelated Ito Iexercise Ior Iphysical Iactivities Isixty Iminutes Ior
I
more. ISo, Iif Ian Iindividual’s Iactivity Ilevel Iis Ilow Iyou Imay Iwant Ito Ilimit Ithe Iintake Iamount Iof
I
Gatorade Ior IPowerade.
I
Water Iis Idefined Ias Ian Iessential Inutrient Ibecause Iit Iis Irequired Iin Iamounts Ithat Iexceed Ithe
body's Iability Ito Iproduce Iit. IAll Ibiochemical Ireactions Ioccur Iin Iwater. IIt Ifills Ithe Ispaces Iin Iand
I
I between Icells Iand Ihelps Iform Istructures Iof Ilarge Imolecules Isuch Ias Iprotein Iand Iglycogen I(3).
