Dehydration can cause problems with blood pressure, pain, digestion and a myriad of other health ailments. We require at a minimum, 6-8 eight ounce glasses everyday. If you have an active lifestyle and sweat and work out-we need even more. Tea, beer, soda, wine DO NOT count, it must be water and preferably filtered.
