In today’s episode, I’ll be welcoming Registered Dietician Tony Castillo, to discuss his take on hydration as we sift through some of the biggest myths in the nutrition space.

TALKING POINTS:

• How Tony got into the nutrition space.
• Where did the "#HydrateorDiedrate originate from?

MYTHS:

• EVERYONE NEEDS TO DRINK 8 GLASSES OF WATER/DAY
• DRINKING WATER FLUSHES TOXINS FROM YOUR BODY
• BOTTLED WATER CAN CAUSE TOOTH DECAY
• DRINKING WATER KEEPS YOUR SKIN MOIST
• DRINKING WATER HELPS YOU LOSE WEIGHT
• YELLOW URINE IS A SIGN OF DEHYDRATION
• IF YOU’RE THIRSTY, YOU’RE ALREADY DEHYDRATED
• YOU NEED SPORTS DRINKS, NOT WATER, TO FUNCTION AS A HIGH-LEVEL ATHLETE
• IT’S POSSIBLE TO DRINK TOO MUCH WATER
• YOU SHOULDN’T REUSE PLASTIC WATER BOTTLES
• How much water should we look to consume each day? What about during exercise/sports activity?
• What about sports drinks? Do they have a place, and when should we look to utilize them?
• What about athletes that need to make weight? What about wrestlers or elite bodybuilders that need to cut weight and use extreme methods to do so? Is there a safer approach to cutting water?
