| I read this article in the local paper (I live in a very active community). I found it interesting to read the 'other side' of the hydration issue. Living in CO, what with the altitude, hydration is a *huge* issue. I'm curious if any counter-arguments will arise shortly.
One thing I think they short-change is that, even though nobody dies of dehydration, there are plenty of physiological detriments to being dehydrated: performance decline, headaches, nausea, etc. They kinda paint the picture that it's all well and good to be dehydrated. I can personally vouch from experience that dehydration can be painful and detrimental to performance! |
