The art and science of hydration.

UNLABELLED
It is understood that water is the most essential nutrient for life, yet research elucidating the fine points of hydration and fluid needs is still in its youth. Public recommendations based on scientific evidence are not always translated by the media into useful and practical guidelines.


CONCLUSION
Further research investigating the benefits of all fluids, and water in particular, as beverages to meet hydration and health needs will help clarify the controversies over how much water we should drink every day. Health practitioners must further work to assist patients with designing practical fluid intake strategies to ensure adequate hydration.
