It was on Stage 17th of this year’s Tour de France, now winner Floyd Landis hit the wall and cracked from dehydration. Then he turned himself around, was re-born the following day, completely hydrated and recuperated and fired off one of the best race and stage wins in the tour’s 93 editions. He won solo on one of the tours toughest stages which had five giant mountains! He also drank loads of water during that stage.
Watch his heroic charge into the Alps and wins solo!
A post race interview with Floyd Landis. He talks about the killer (I call it crazy) strategy that made up his lost time...
I walk a lot outdoors. I love hiking around Burbank or Bird Sanctuary at Griffith Park. It's been VERY HOT here in Glendale, above 100 the past 10 days, and it has been very warm all over the southland. It’s even more important to drink gobs of water when the days are scorching…
If you feel thirsty in the mouth, you are already in the early stages of dehydration.
Drink up, buddy! That's an order!!
Sip throughout the day. It's easy. Not only is it fantastic for your skin. It will keep your organs and body running optimally. Drink at least 64 ounces of water a day to help "detoxify" the body from the inside out. You can make sure you drink enough ounces by, for example, by wrapping 8 rubber bands around your refillable bottle and every time you finish the bottle, fill it up and shoot a rubber band across the room.
You cannot over do drinking water so grab a gallon or several 16 oz bottles and pack it with you to work and be sure you pack water where ever you go.
Did you know that staying hydrated with water can help with metabolizing fat too?
Water makes your metabolism burn calories 3% faster!
And you if you drink ice cold water you can get a negative calorie burning effect as the body needs to convert the liquids into normal body temperature before processing.
So enjoy some H2O and stay cool!
