  3. Water Loss Adults lose nearly 12 cups of water per day • ½ - 1 cup from the soles of our feet • 2-4 cups from breathing • 2 cups from perspiration • 6 cups from urine

  4. Signs of Dehydration: • Headaches • Backaches • Depression • Slow metabolism • Weight gain • Gallstones • Bad breath • Dry Mouth – last sign

  5. Water vs. Other Beverages • Caffeinated beverages stimulate the adrenal glands and act as diuretics, robbing your body of necessary water. • Soft drinks contain phosphorus which can lead to depletion of bone calcium. • Fruit juices contain a lot of sugar & stimulate the pancreas. • Other beverages also contain dehydrating agents. They may actually reduce the water reserves in the body! • Drinking other beverages to the exclusion of water also causes you to lose your taste for water.
