Staying Hydrated
With a heat wave such as the one passing through much of the country, the importance of hydration cannot be stressed enough. A general rule of thumb is that you need about 1/2 oz of water for every pound of body weight. Most people need about 8 - 12 glasses of water each day. But, on days that are especially hot and humid, your needs increase. And although those iced coffees and other iced beverages may be refreshing, beverages with caffeine only dehydrate you more. So, make sure to keep a bottle of water on your desk and with you at all times so that you are guaranteed to get the amount you need.
