Water Sensations® Expert Advice You’ve heard for years that water is a key element to staying healthy. Listen to our expert panel of health professionals as they explain the importance of hydration in a healthy lifestyle. You just can’t pass up these lessons on hydration! Hydration 101 by Dr. Judith Hochstadt, MD Pediatric Endocrinologist/Diabetologist Founder & CEO, HELP (Healthy Eating Lifestyle Program) LLC Drinking adequate water should be given the same priority as showering, brushing our teeth, etc. We need to drink half our body weight in pounds in ounces of water. An example, for a 150 pound individual, 75 ounces of water/day is required. Water is necessary for our body’s metabolism as our body tissues are made up of 75% water, our brain tissue, 85% water. Consuming the correct amount of water really aids in weight loss. Drinking 8-16 ounces of water 20 minutes before a meal is a great appetite suppressant. It also aids in digesting the meal you’re about to consume. This is where I believe Water Sensations® is key! By using Water Sensations, your water tastes great, enabling you to properly hydrate yourself. So drink up to have more energy and lose weight! Hydration and Obesity by Deborah Sylvestro Advanced Practice Registered Nurse Stratford, CT As a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner in a suburban high school for the last 20 years, I have seen first hand the emerging epidemic of obesity in our young adult population. I counsel students and staff with health issues affected by diet. Hydration is an essential component of a healthy diet, but all too often I see the student’s and staff’s consumption of sugary, high caloric drinks to quench their thirst instead of water. Water Sensations® provides an easy, delicious way to flavor water to meet your hydration requirements without adding the calories that contribute to the growing obesity problem this in country. My family and I use Water Sensations® and really love the taste and variety it offers. We find that we drink more water and enjoy drinking water more when we add Water Sensations®! Why Your Muscles Love Water by Tim Taylor Co-Owner Southport Racquet Club Forget all the hype you’ve heard about those so-called sports drinks. Give your muscles WATER – nature’s original fuel for keeping your body working at top conditioning efficiency. Weight lifters especially need to remember to lift their water intake before, during and after their reps. I tell my clients to start drinking water 2-3 hours before exercise and drink another 8 oz. right before their routine. Without water their muscles quickly become dehydrated and their work-outs will not be as effective. Water Sensations® takes all the excuses away for not being able to drink enough water – Water CAN taste great – Natural Orange is my favorite! The ABC’s of Hydration and Breathing by Patty Kondub Lecturer, Author and Aquatics Director Westport YMCA Water is one of the two most vital nutrients our bodies need to live! (The other nutrient is oxygen). Water has many functions --- just to name a few --- it detoxifies the body, dissolves vitamins and minerals and carries those vitamins and minerals to your cells, aids in digestion, and regulates body temperature. Drinking the right amount for you everyday is a simple and easy way to get healthy! Adding Water Sensations® to the water you drink is also simple and easy, and enhances the flavor of water to help you consume your daily goal of water. |
