The Importance ofHealthy Hydration Slide Kit
Water is an essential componentof all bodily organs The water content of body parts varies from 10% in adipose tissue to 83% in blood1 Adequate hydration is necessary to ensure healthy organ function, including that of the urinary tract, the heart, the digestive system, and the brain2 Water is an essential physiological requirement and maintaining hydration is essential for normal body function Water composition of tissues and organs(% by weight)1 Brain 74.8 72.0 Skin Lungs 79.0 Blood 83.0 Heart 79.2 Liver 68.3 Spleen 75.8 Kidney 82.7 Intestine 74.5 Adipose tissue 10.0 Muscle 75.6 22.0 Skeleton (bone) 1.

On average, at least 2.6 litresof water are lost through respiration, perspiration,faeces and urine every day1 The kidneys have a particular requirement for good hydration and are highly sensitive to fluctuations in fluid levels2 Water is continuously lost from the body – even when sedentary Average daily water loss1 Skin 0.5L Respiratory tract 0.4L Kidneys 1.5L Gastrointestinal tract 0.2L Total 2.6L 1.

How much should we drink? • The amount of fluid (including water obtained from food) to maintain hydration for average adults in average conditions is: • 2.9 litres/day for men • 2.2 litres/day for women1 • The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) state that the average food diet provides 20% of the recommended total daily fluid intake2 • Based on the EFSA expert opinion for recommended daily consumption,the amount of liquid that should be consumed can be calculated as: • 2.0 litres for men • 1.6 litres for women2 • These figures are calculated on the basis of a normal temperate climate and a sedentary lifestyle. Changes in these and/or other factors (such as pregnancy or lactation) would increase the daily liquid intake requirement 1. Howard G, Bartram J. WHO 2003.

Overweight and obese people have a higher number of adipose cells than individuals of normal weight1,2 The number of fat cells is set during childhood and adolescence1 It is important to note that the consumption of calories during childhood has significant consequences for the amount of fat deposits (e.g. adipocytes) in adult life1-3 90 80 70 60 50 30 40 20 10 0 Overweight and obese children can become overweight and obese adults Higher numbers of adipocytes in obese children and adults (open circles) vs. non-obese children and adults (closed circles)2 (8) (13) (13) Adipose cell number x 109 (5) (14) (13) (12) (12) (8) (11) (8) (12) (11) (11) 0.3 1 2-4 6-8 10-12 14-16 18-20 22-24 Age in years 1.

The relationship between emerging public health issues such as obesity and beverage consumption
Modern dietary habits are also leading to an increased consumption of liquid calories • In the US, soft drink consumption has increased by 300% in the past 20 years1 • Sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption has increased by 135%in this time2 • In 1998, added sugars in food accounted for 15.8% of daily energy intake for children in the US3 • To burn off the calories in just onecan of sugar-sweetened soft drink(~150 calories) requires 45 minutes walking or 20 minutes jogging • Consuming an additional 120 kcalper day (about one serving of a SSB) produces a 50 kg (110 pounds) increase in body mass over 10 years1 1.

Conclusions • Healthy hydration practices are often either overlooked or lack emphasisin current public-health recommendations and advice given by healthcare professionals • However, current scientific literature suggests that there are a number of benefits • Excessive consumption of SSBs has been linked to a range of modern-day health problems • Good hydration ensures optimal physical and cognitive performance • Water is the only liquid needed for hydration – when you drink water, you are not consuming any calories or additives. Drinking plenty* of water each day is a positive behaviourto promote as it is a simple and sustainablestep towards a healthier lifestyle *National daily intake guidelines vary. For reference, EFSA recommend drinking 2L per day
