Have you ever felt threatened by a buzzard? Or followed by about 50 of those large black birds circling overhead - just waiting for you to drop to the ground so they could pick the flesh off your bones? That’s the situation we were in on a very hot day in Big Bend National Park near the end of a long hike and extremely dehydrated.

But severe deyhydration isn't the only risk to our body. Even a slight 1% dehydration can affect how you think, feel, perform, and react. In this episode we discuss:

How much water should you drink every day?
What temperature is best for hydration?
What counts towards your rehydration needs – water, sports drinks…does coffee and other caffeinated beverages count?
What if you don’t like the taste of water?
Any advantages of pH Balanced water, alkaline water, vitamin water?
