How Much Water Should You Drink Per Day?
I'm always amazed at how many people seem to know the answer to this question yet in practice they fail.
Everybody I've talked to seems to know that 8-12 glasses of water a day is the recommended standard.
But if I ask them how many glasses of water have you consumed today?
The answer is usually none.
Or the other standard answer at a corporate environment "does coffee count?"While 8-12 glasses of water is great for the average sedentary person, many of us are fitness conscious or on the pursuit of some type of bodybuilding physique.
With that in mind, I think the new standard for us should be 1-2 gallons of water a day.As a bodybuilder, you are putting much more nutrients, food, supplements, and other stuff into your body.
What your body does not use, it must rid itself of by any means necessary.
Usually it does this via water.
So drinking plenty of water becomes a necessity.
Increasing protein puts a strain on your body and drinking lots of water can keep things "moving."
Creatine monohydrate supplementation requires a lot of water.
Creatine is all about cell volumization.
Making sure your cells are completely hydrated helps with the volumization process.
NO2, a hemodilator, requires water.
Many other supplements require water as a transport and a flushing method.The side effects of drinking too little water are an excess buildup of certain chemicals.
Creatine can leave behind some buildup that overtime, becomes a bit hard to pass.
Putting such a strain on the body is also self-defeating.
But don't get me wrong, it's not just about Creatine and NO2.
It's about making sure you are hydrated.Being properly hydrated has it's benefits other then just the flushing methods and cell volumization discussed above.
Your state of alertness is affected by your hydration levels.
Performance in the gym by a hydrated body is enhanced.
Your body is roughly 70% water.
It makes sense to hydrate it.
Drinking water is not just for hot days.
It's for intense workouts in the gym.
In fact, being hydrated has that perpetual pump that is so sought after.
There can be too much of a good thing.
Drinking water to excess leads to water intoxication, referred to as hyponatremia.
As you consume water, blood plasma increases and dilutes the salt content of the blood.
While this is happening, you lose more salt by sweating.
Consequently the amount of salt available to the body tissues decreases and over time, the loss interferes with brain, heart and muscle functions.
Water intoxication is more commonly found in endurance athletes.Drink plenty of water per day, but just keep in mind, there can be too much of a good thing.
Being properly hydrated is necessary for optimum performance in the gym and for keeping your body performing well..

New York City, New York (ContentDesk) April 20, 2006 -- Rear-projection screens have received rave reviews recently as a less-expensive alternative to flat screen TVs or plasma TVs. These rear-projection TVs still have a large sticker price, up to $3000, but many consumers complain that the screen quality and technology is not as advanced.Consumers that have been convinced to buy the new product on the block are complaining that their Sony-brand rear projection TVs do not have stellar performance. Consumers have complained that their Sony LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) TVs have screen malfunctions and buzzing noises.

6 Ways To Fund Your New Business
I'm often asked: what is the best way to finance a new business venture. This question is usually followed by "So, do you ever invest in new business ventures?"
The answers, respectively, are: 1. there is no "best" way to fund a new business; and 2. I do invest in new business ventures, but darn it I can't today because I left my checkbook in my other suit.
The truth is there are a variety of ways to finance a new business and which way is best for you depends totally on your product, your market, your financial requirements, your burn rate, and most importantly, your personal and financial situation.
So with that in mind, here are a few of the most common ways to finance a new business without hitting old Tim up for a loan. Keep in mind that all methods have pros and cons and some (or most) may not work for your specific situation.
No matter what financing method you choose thoroughly investigate the ups and downs and don't jump in...

Insurance ? how much are your household contents worth
Household content insurance is something that most people take out after a very quick 'guestimation' of the value of their entire possessions, generally erring on the lower side in an effort to reduce premiums. According to a study by the Centre for Economic and Business Research, which is cited by Motley Fool, the typical household's contents are worth around ?44,500, but most people only have an insured sum of ?35,000. This is a difference of ?9,500 and represents a 21% under-valuation, and is therefore classified as being under-insured.
At first this does not seem to be much of a problem: unless everything you owned were to be lost in one go, leaving you out of pocket, it would be possible to still claim for up to ?35,000 if something less dramatic happened. On the face of it, this seems reasonable, but this is not how most insurers work. In order to prevent people underinsuring and then claiming for any items up to the ?35,000 value even...
