Should you be lugging a bottle of commercial sports drink to your
child's soccer game? What drinks provide the best nutrition for optimal
performance? The answers to these questions depend upon how long and how
strenuous the exercise is. If you or your child exercise moderately for
less than an hour, plain water is the best source of fluids. Water is
absorbed more rapidly than any other liquid, but once you begin adding
stuff to water, the absorption slows. Drink ahead. Drink a few glasses
of water before a game. During the game, drink enough to quench thirst,
and after the game drink enough water to quench thirst and then drink at
least two more glasses, since thirst is not a reliable indicator of
adequate hydration. For high endurance exercise lasting longer than 90
minutes, you will probably need a carbo-lyte-hydration drink (i.e., one
containing sugar, salts, and water).
It is well known that people who are engaged in heavy physical activity
or are in a very hot environment should avoid drinking large quantities
of even ordinary water. In order to prevent serious electrolyte
imbalance problems, it is necessary to make up for the salts lost
through perspiration. This can be accomplished by ingestion of salted
foods or beverages (including "sports beverages"), or salt tablets.
About Covenant Filtration :Some
recent work involving novel experimental and computational techniques
has revealed more about water structure:
* Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory: Revealing the
Mysteries of Water
* Water: Dissolving the Controversy — this page is from the
UC-Berkely lab of Richard Saykally, one of the world's experts on water
structure.
The picture above, taken from the work of William Royer Jr. of the U.
Mass. Medical School, shows the water structure (small green circles)
that exists in the space between the two halves of a kind of dimeric
hemoglobin. The thin dotted lines represent hydrogen bonds. Owing to the
geometry of the hydrogen-bonding sites on the heme protein backbones,
the H2O molecules within this region are highly ordered; the local water
structure is stabilized by these hydrogen bonds, and the resulting
water cluster in turn stabilizes this particular geometric form of the
hemoglobin dimer. More diagrams, with commentary, can be found on Prof.
Royer's Web site.
Water PseudoscienceThe "alternative" health market is full of goofy
products which purport to alter the structure of water by stabilizing
groups of H2O molecules into permanent clusters of 4-8 molecules, or
alternatively, to break up what they claim are the larger clusters
(usually 10-15 molecules) that they say normally exist in water. The
object in either case is to promote the flow of water into the body's
cells ("cellular hydration"). This is of course utter nonsense; there is
no credible scientific evidence for any of these claims, many of which
verge on the bizarre. There are even some scientifically absurd U.S.
Patents for the manufacture of so-called "Clustered Water™". At least 20
nostrums of this kind are offered to the scientifically-naïve public
through hundreds of Web sites and late-night radio "infomercials". None
of this misleading sales hype should be believed.
At temperatures as low as 200K, the surface of ice is highly disordered
and water-like. As the temperature approaches the freezing point, this
region of disorder extends farther down from the surface and acts as a
lubricant.
Here are the most common types of filters, what they remove, and what
they don't:

Teach your children to acquire a taste for water, the most vital drink
of all! Water is essential to good nutrition! Since our bodies are more
than 50 percent water, we need to continually replenish our fluids.
Hidden sources of water include milk or fruit juice, soups and stews,
fruits, and vegetables. Have cool water readily-available for your child
throughout the day. Keeping it in a pitcher in the refrigerator makes
it seem more special, as does an attractive cup or glass and maybe some
ice cubes or a twist of lemon peel. Don't forget to offer water often
during the day, especially in warmer temperatures. If a child is well
hydrated, he or she is more likely to have a good appetite.
