When we think about people getting sick or even dying from water related issues, we often think of 3rdworld countries, unsanitary water conditions or complete lack of safe drinking water. However, even in the United States where we have access to water 24/7 a majority of individuals are not consuming enough water daily.
Most people don’t think they need to worry about dehydration unless they happen to find themselves on a camel ride through the desert. A condition known as chronic dehydration is a growing problem. This condition is often exasperated by drinking too little water combined with consuming sugary, carbonated beverages.
John Ivy, PhD, coauthor of Nutrient Timing: The Future of Sports Nutrition (Basic Health, 2004), compares a dehydrated athlete to a stalled car on the side of the road, hissing smoke. In a car, the water system should cool the engine and transfer heat to the radiator, but if the cooling system fails, the engine conks out.
