3. BENEFITS OF HYDRATION Hydration can boost your metabolism. Water is used for digestion. Being hydrated causes you to be tired. Being hydrated helps you physically perform better.

4. WATER SOURCES You don't need to drink just water to stay hydrated. Coffee, unsweet tea, and low fat milk are all sources of water. Oatmeal, lettuce, tomato, broccoli, low fat vanilla yogurt, and ice cream are all sources of water too.

5. WHY IS HYDRATION IMPORTANT Dehydration causes you to be tired and is the number one cause of midday fatigue. Humans have an unquenchable thirst for water as it is used to carry out necessary body functions. Drinking soda doesn't actually quench your thirst and can actually make you more dehydrated.

6. HOW IMPORTANT IS WATER? Water is very important to your body's health. Your blood is made up of 79% water. Overhydration happens when you drink too much water too fast and the balance of sodium to water is unbalanced.

7. OVERHYDRATION Overhydration happens when you drink too much water in a short period of time. Overhydration is also known as water intoxication and water poisoning. Cases of overhydration are about as rare as cases of dehydration.

8. WHAT CAUSES OVER HYDRATION? Overhydration is caused by water being added too quickly to your system and can severely harm or even kill you. When you drink water too fast the amount of sodium in your blood gets too low and you don't have enough electrolytes it could cause your organs to shut down.

In 2003 when he was playing Henry Higgins in the musical My Fair Lady, he consumed up to 8 liters of water per day. That caused him fall unconscious and be in intensive care for three days. Five years after Andy Warhol's death his family accused the hospital where he had his gallbladder removed of causing his death by giving him too much fluid post surgery. Their evidence was that he weighed 128 pounds when he was admitted and his autopsy weight was 150 pounds.
