Play it safe at Two-A-Day practices by packing a cooler with
water bottles and fresh fruit. Freeze a water bottle and keep it
in a cooler to keep the food and fruit cool! - 1. The body is
about 60 percent water. - 2. If you are thirsty, you are already
dehydrated—drink up! - 3. Active boys need to drink about 2 to 3
liters of water a day. This is a minimum of 64 ounces a day. -
4. Active girls need to drink about 1 to 2 liters of water a
day. This is a minimum of 32 ounces a day. - 5. During
practices, sip on 6 to 8 ounces of water every 15 minutes. - 6.
Sweating is the way a body cools itself. It is important to
sweat to stay cool. - 7. Wear a shirt that wicks to absorb the
sweat. If sweat rolls off the body it does not cool it. - 8.
Fruit that contain a high percentage of water are watermelon,
oranges, and peaches. - 9. Vegetables that have a lot of water
are lettuce, cucumbers, and celery. - 10. Add more fluids by
eating fruit and vegetables that contain water. By Sue A. James
