The Key is Hydration and Hydration is the Key

Oh water, how I love you so

For you are with me everywhere I go

You make up 65-75% of my body’s muscle

While protecting my organs through life’s hustle and bustle

With water’s help, I can digest my food

While using it with exercise, it keeps me looking good

I drink it before, during and after every workout

Cold, crisp and refreshing, I just want to shout

The recommended amount per person depends

On weight, exercise type, environment and time she spends

Improving her her health and coming to the realization

That her biggest of biggest fears is dehydration

Signs of dehydration include

Thirst, chills and a change in mood

Shortness of breath, elevated heart rate and dizziness are other signs

So are headaches, nausea, and clammy skin which result in frown lines

Dehydration leads to breakdown of muscle, which will leave you weak

It also causes heat stroke, cramping, exhaustion and fatigue

So how important is water, one might inquire

No food for weeks and you’ll live, try the same with water and you’ll expire

DRINK UP!
