Nutrition Tip: When we wake up, water your body. In order to maintain homeostasis and keep our involuntary functions operational while we sleep, our body requires water. Many people drink coffee first thing in the morning. Coffee is a diuretic, drains water from our body. Our brains are made up of about 70% water. Aim for about a liter of water mixed with juice (apple, cranberry, whatever). By doing this we are getting our water and blood-sugar levels back to where we want them. You will feel more awake in the long run. For every 12 oz. of coffee, 12 oz. of water throughout the day. http://www.seriousbeachfitness.com/
