Drinking water is so important for good health. When you were a kid in school, you learned that each molecule of water is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. You may also have learned that it was great fun to fill up your squirt guns with water, at least until your principal caught you. What you may not have learned, however, was how much water you needed in order to be a healthy human being.
Why You Need to Drink Water
Your body is estimated to be about 60 to 70 percent water. Blood is mostly water, and your muscles, lungs and brain all contain a lot of water. Your body needs water to regulate body temperature and to provide the means for nutrients to travel to all your organs. Water also transports oxygen to your cells, removes waste and protects your joints and organs.
Signs of Dehydration
You lose water through urination, respiration and by sweating. If you are very active, you lose more water than if you are sedentary. Diuretics such as caffeine pills and alcohol result in the need to drink more water because they trick your body into thinking you have more water than we need.
Symptoms of mild dehydration include chronic pains in joints and muscles, lower back pain, headaches and constipation. A strong odor to your urine, along with a yellow or amber color indicates that you may not be getting enough water. Note that riboflavin, a B vitamin, will make your urine bright yellow. Thirst is an obvious sign of dehydration and in fact, you need water long before you feel thirsty.
How Much Water do You Need to Drink?
A good estimate is to take your body weight in pounds and divide that number in half. That gives you the number of ounces of water per day that you need to drink. For example, if your weight 160 pounds, you should drink at least 80 ounces of water per day. If you exercise, you should drink another eight ounce glass of water for every 20 minutes you are active. If you drink alcohol, you should drink at least an equal amount of water. When you are traveling on an airplane, it is good to drink eight ounces of water for every hour you are on board the plane. If you live in an arid climate, you should add another two servings per day. As you can see, your daily need for water can add up to quite a lot.
Twenty percent of your water need will come from the foods you eat. The rest of your water need should come from the beverages you drink. Water is the best choice. Sodas have a lot of sugar in them, so if you drink sodas, you may take in more calories than you need. Herbal teas that aren't diuretics are fine. Sport drinks contain electrolytes and may be beneficial, just look out for added sugar and calories that you don't need. Juices are good because they have vitamins and nutrients.
Caffeinated beverages will also add to your daily water need. Even though caffeine is a diuretic, if you regularly consume caffeine, your body will regulate itself to that diuretic effect.
Drink Enough Water
It may be difficult to drink enough water on a busy day. Be sure you have water handy at all times by keeping a bottle for water with you when you are working, traveling or exercising. If you get bored with plain water, add a bit of lemon or lime for a touch of flavor. There are some brands of flavored water available, but watch for extra calories.

Francesec "cesc" Fabregas i Soler adalah seorang pemain sebakbola dari Spanyol yang saat ini bermain untuk Arsenal. Lahir di Villasar de Mar, Barcelona pada tanggal 4 Mei 1987, Fabregas bermain sepakbola pertama kali untuk tim idolanya sejak kecil, Barcelona. Awalnya Fabregas bermain sebagai gelandang bertahan di Barcelona Junior dan mencetak 30 gol lebih, namun dia tidak pernah dipanggil untuk bermain di Barcelona's First Team.
Merasa tidak banyak memiliki kesempatan bermain, Fabregas bergabung dengan Arsenal pada September 2003. Awalnya dia kesulitan beradaptasi dengan kehidupan di Inggris, saat itu dia berusia 16 tahun. Dan Fabregas tidak langsung masuk ke skuad inti, dia masih berkonsentrasi dengan latihan dan belajar bahasa inggris.
Meskipun Arsenal menjuarai Liga dengan tidak terkalahkan pada musim 2003-2004, Fabregas tidak mendapatkan medali karena tidak bermain di Liga satu kali pun. Setelah Patrick Vieira pindah ke Juventus, Fabregas menerima kostum nomor 4 dan menjadi figur penting di lapangan tengah bersama Gilberto Silva. Meskipun masih berusia muda, namun penampilannya di lapangan sangat memukau.
Tahun 2006-07 merupakan masa-masa pembelajaran bagi skuad Young Guns dan Fabregas. Young Guns gagal meraih gelar lagi pada musim 2006-07, sama seperti pada musim 2005-06, kecuali piala FA. Dan Fabregas menjelma menjadi pemain kunci serta kreatif bagi Arsenal. Fabregas merupakan seorang Playmaker dan dia sangat ahli dalam "Passing Range" dan membuat assist. Dia merupakan bagian vital dari kubu Arsenal, dia memiliki visi, kreativitas serta confidence yang sangat matang di usia yang masih muda.
Awalnya Fabregas sangat berbeda dengan pendahulunya, karena dia lebih memetingkan skill daripada kekuatan. Hal ini yang membuat dia mendapat banyak kritik, termasuk dari mantan koleganya, Ashley Cole. Ashley Cole menyebut Fabregas dalam Autobiografinya sebagai "An Unproven featherweight". Hal ini disebabkan karena dia kurang agresif.
Namun, statistik permainan Fabregas meningkat seiring waktu dan dia menjadi lebih agresif tanpa meninggalkan visi dan kreatifitas dia sebagai jendral lapangan tengah. Pada tanggal 24 November 2008, Fabregas menggantikan peran William Gallas sebagai kapten.

What do C.Ronaldo, Kaka', Messi, Fabregas, Xavi, Zidane, Ronaldinho and company all have in common?
They have the ability to receive the ball with the greatest of ease and like a great chess player, the ability to think five steps ahead of the game leaving everyone behind in their dust.
Many players will concentrate on passing and shooting but how many players practicing receiving the ball?
Is receiving the ball important?
Believe it or not, this is what separates the great players from the average.
Why? The modern game of soccer today is played at a frantic pace.
Super conditioned athlete's battle over the smallest of inches.
Games are won and lost in a split second.
The days of old when you could have a cup of tea while receiving the ball are gone. Spend more than a couple of seconds trying to control the ball and the chance of you being dispossessed increase exponentially.
Spending more time on the ball without clear possession could result in a meeting with your opponent's studs or cleats. Remember, you could have a couple of second to control the ball. Count it, 1 cat and dog, 2 cat and dog, would you have control the ball?
Let's take this a step further shall we?
C.Ronaldo and company can receive the ball and have it under control in a split second. Simultaneously they can calculate where their opponent is and where the pressures coming from.
They know where to go and which direction they must turn.
The free space is calculated down to the very last blade of grass.
Do they sprint or shield the ball?
Do they attack or simply build up the play?
The modern day soccer player can have all this information processed within a blink of an eye.
The modern player has the ability to receive the ball using his feet, thighs, chest and head. When receiving the ball, you must try and maintain an open stance. Do you know why?
An open stance keeps you balanced and gives you the ability to use both sides of the body. So, how do you remain to balanced when receiving the ball?
Always stand with your feet shoulder width apart and never be flat footed. Just before receiving the ball, lean forward on your toes of your feet and extend your arms for balance while keeping your head up and relaxed.
This covers the basic mechanics of receiving the ball. Do you agree?
How many different ways can you receive the ball?
