DID YOU KNOW?

We lose water every minute of every day, just by breathing. In the summer, we lose even more water. Caffeinated and alcoholic beverages are diuretics - causing even more water loss. Water loss of only 1% can impair you mentally and physically. Losses of 4% can cause headaches, loss of energy muscle fatigue and irritability.
