[Ansteorra-chirurgeon] Hydration

[Richard Threlkeld]

Galen has reported similar research in the past (I believe while he was
Society Chirurgeon) and it changed the "official" views. Note we don't
really have any control over anyone's choices for hydration sources, but if
someone asks for an opinion ours is probably a bit more informed than the
average man on the street's.

<http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/diet.fitness/08/26/cl.get.fluids/index.html>
is an interesting article on getting enough water.  It mentions, in
part, that food provide more or less water (depending on type and
cooking).  I was also struck by these paragraphs:

   Caffeine considerations

   You may have heard about the dehydrating effects of caffeine. But
   leading health authorities including the Institute of Medicine and
   the American College of Sports Medicine say that's a myth. While
   caffeine does signal our kidneys to rid our bodies of excess
   water, it does so for only a short time, so we still retain more
   fluid than we lose after sipping a caffeinated beverage.

   The Institute of Medicine reports caffeinated beverages contribute
   to our daily water needs as much as noncaffeinated drinks. In a
   study published in 2007 in the International Journal of Sport
   Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, when researchers asked cyclists
   to bike for two-plus hours under hot, humid conditions, they found
   a caffeine-infused sports drink was as hydrating as a traditional
   sports drink.
