How smart are you when it comes to water fact and fiction?
Watch this super short video that will set you straight on the most common water myths (that you probably think are true)…
WATER MYTH #1: The average person needs to drink eight glasses of water a day.
TRUTH: We only need to replace the water we LOSE (through sweating, waste, etc), and this amount varies widely from person to person. Drink when you’re thirsty and drink more when you’re participating in sweaty activities. I carry a water bottle wherever I go, just to make sure I get enough for MY body.

WATER MYTH #2: Water detoxes your body.
TRUTH: Water doesn’t get rid of toxins – your kidneys and liver do that. Water isn’t the soap that cleans up the gook. It’s the grease that keeps things moving. So if you’re looking to detox, focus on eating clean plant-based meals and drinking water as your main beverage.

WATER MYTH #3: Coffee and soda don’t count.
TRUTH: I don’t recommend coffee or soda as a main source of hydration, but everything that has water in it helps. Fruits and veggies, and even soft drinks and coffee all count toward your daily water intake. Also, sports drinks aren’t necessarily better for rehydrating your body. To get the same effect, infuse your water with fruit or lemon and a pinch of salt instead.
