Manage your fluids. by Dominique Dano, nutritionist, info@dominiquedano.com, 03/661046
The power of Water. Water??? Unless your throat feels parched and
sweat drips from your brow, you probably give little thought to water. You’ve probably heard that water is vital to health and to life itself. While you may survive for six weeks without food, you cannot live longer than a week or so without water. In fact, losing more than 10% of your body weight from dehydration, or water loss, causes extreme weakness and potential heat stroke. Dehydration: Look for body signals!
