Eye drops can also be helpful in reducing itchy

eyes. Alaway and Zaditor are two over-thecounter eye drops that can help reduce watery,
itchy eye symptoms.
Two nasal steroid sprays are now available over

the counter. Nasacort and Flonase both work
to reduce inflammation and allergic reaction
inside the nose. Theyre non-habit forming and
are even safe for kids. And now you dont need
a prescription to use these. These nasal steroid
sprays can be even more effective if you start
them prior to symptom onset, such as a week
or two before your allergy season starts.
Allergy Testing/Immunotherapy
(Allergy Shots)
Some people try to power through their

allergy symptoms, thinking of them as more of
an annoyance or nuisance than a real problem.
TAKE A SPIN:
BOONVILLE BIKE CLUB
But allergies can take their toll on your overall

health. Allergy symptoms can affect your sleep,
which leads to poor concentration at work or
school. Sinus infections can result when the
sinuses are constantly inflamed. Asthma can
also be the result of allergies. Plus, just being
miserable from allergies can put you in a bad
mood and affect your quality of lifeas well as
the people around you!
If your allergies arent manageable with
medications and avoidance, a next step may be
allergy testing and allergy injections.
Allergy testing is a way for your doctor to
determine what you are allergic to so you can
focus on avoiding those specific allergens. Its
normally done with a skin-prick test, in which
your inner arms are poked with drops of liquid
that contains allergens, and your individual
reaction to each drop is measured.
RAISING ACTIVE KIDS

Once your specific allergens have been

identified, then you can consider the option
of immunotherapy, also known as allergy
injections. Allergy injections gradually help you
become less allergic to certain allergens.
We start off with an extremely low dose of
what the patient is allergic to and give the
injection into the back side of the upper arm.
Its not an intramuscular shot, so it doesnt hurt
like many shots do. Each week, the patient
receives an increasing dose of their allergy
vaccine, thus making them tolerant to these
allergens. The shots start out weekly, and
after about eight months, theyre spread out
to monthly shots. Patients receive monthly
injections for four to five years.

This is an ideal option for those with many

allergies or those who have severe symptoms

From the Editor

Since the first issue of Get
Active, I have consistently heard
concerns about childrens health
and wellness. Parents bring it
up in conversations and in the
news almost daily I hear about
studies regarding the state of our
kids health, or lack thereof. As
a father of two kids, Max (11)
and Sutton (9), I am very aware
of the challenges parents face
today to raise active kids and
encourage healthy eating habits.
When looking at the current health, fitness, and obesity statistics of children in our country, it is easy to look at
the issue as a glass half empty scenario. A simple search of studies and statics show some very grave numbers.
Following are just a few statistics from the fitness.gov/resource-center/facts-and-statistics website:
Only one in three children are physically active every day; Children now spend more than seven
hours a day in front of a screen (e.g., TV, computer, phone, videogames); and Empty calories from
added sugars and solid fats contribute to 40% of the total daily calories for kids 2-18 years old.
On a personal level, I see these issues almost daily. The screen time
battle is real. Video games, cable options and social media are
devouring free time. Screens are now in cars, on our wrists, at the
dentists office, on our phones, in even in restaurants. Getting kids
outside seems a lot more challenging than when I was young. The
fact is that treats are no longer a treat. They are now offered as
a part of daily life. Even if junk food isnt in your pantry at home,
free cookies, cakes, doughnuts and candy are offered to my
children numerous times a week - at the grocery bakery, after a
haircut, at class birthday parties, as class rewards, at the drugstore
prescription counter, at scouts, and even after finishing playing a
soccer or baseball game.

However, I like to look at situations and even problems as glass half full scenarios. We put this issue together with
a focus on Active Kids to show the positive side. I am pleased to report there are several resources in our area to
help raise active kids and encourage healthy eating habits. Throughout this issue you will read about groups, races,
and other activities geared towards children. Hike It Baby is a national group with a new local chapter for parents
of young children that like to be outside and active can meet. The Boonville Bike Club is doing great things to get
kids riding and learning about bicycles. There are specific kid only races like the YMCA Kids Triathlon, and Kids
Half Marathon. What many people dont know is that a lot of the adult races in town include free kids fun runs,
allowing kids to participate in the excitement.

Research shows that kids need both positive examples and opportunities to gain an enjoyment of physical activity
and foster healthy eating. Who better to offer tips and advice than Tri-State parents that are conquering these issues?
We spoke with several parents and compiled strategies that are working for them and that you can try today.

for our town and have written many grants to try to

bring this plan to fruition. Each spring, we co-host a
bike rodeo at Walmart and we also have a booth at
the National Night Out at the end of each summer.
Thanks to the Kohls Foundation, we give away free
helmets at each of these events. To raise money
for club activities, we host a mountain bike race
each fall at Scales Lake Park called the Red Dome
Freecross. The 2016 Freecross and Team Enduro
will take place on September 25th and we will be
teaming up with Boonville Now to host a family-fun
day at the park on September 24th.
BIKE CLUB
The future of the Boonville Bike Club looks very

bright. We have a growing population of young
adults with a solid foundation to be lifelong cyclists.
Some of them are already coming back to serve
as ride leaders and help with trail work. Looking
ahead, we plan to incorporate more student-led
projects and form a race team when interscholastic
cycling makes its way to Indiana. In the meantime,
look for us on Wednesday afternoons putting down
tracks at Scales Lake Park.
by Brad Scales
Adolescence is a time of self-exploration and children
in Boonville have a great option worth exploring:

the Boonville Bike Club. When I was a student
at Boonville Junior High, I tried my fair share
of different activities. Team sports were alright
but I wanted something new and exciting to do
with my free time. I finally settled on mountain
biking - a decision that has taken me places and
formed friendships I would otherwise have never
experienced. When I became a teacher at my old
junior high, I felt compelled to share my passion
with students.
One of the places mountain biking took me was
Eagle, Colorado where I became a teacher at Red
Canyon High School in 2006. Our first staff meeting
was a mountain bike ride which eliminated any
doubts of our decision to move there. During the
spring, I was able to offer a downhill mountain
biking class to students. Each Friday, our secretary
would shuttle us in the school suburban to the
top of a local mountain. For the rest of the day, we
would make our way down the mountain and spend

the rest of the day at one of the local dirt jump spots.
This experience was all of the motivation I needed
to eventually start a bike club in my hometown.
After teaching for a couple of years in southern
California, my wife and I moved back to Boonville
to start a family. In 2010, I decided to form the
Boonville Bike Club so we held an informational
meeting where over eighty students showed up!
Immediately, I began searching the local bike
community for bikes to donate so that we would not
have to turn away any kids. I think I pieced together
about ten bikes and the school opened up a storage
unit for us to use. We also got a large box of helmets
from Safe Kids Vanderburgh/Warrick, courtesy of
the Kohls Foundation.
We did everything we could to prepare for our first
club ride but nothing could prepare us for what was
about to take place. The morning announcement
told students to meet at the bike rack after school
for our first group ride. When the bell rang at the
end of the day, students began filing in my classroom
door. About a dozen kids were rattling off their list
of needs and I quickly got them what they needed
and sent them out to the bike rack. With the last
kid ready to go, we headed towards the front door
and that is when I realized what we had started.
Looking out towards the bike rack, I could see over
thirty kids riding everywhere imaginable in front of
our school; jumping off curbs, riding wheelies, and
crashing into each other. It was clear that we needed
to have a better meeting spot.
Our first ride across town to Scales Lake Park went
off without a hitch, just as dozens more have over
the last five years. This is due in large part to our
volunteer ride leaders like Josh Hess, Zach Willis,
Victoria Ritzert, Kyle Crook, Jeff Hazelwood, Isaac
and Gabe Horrom, and the Mominee family. We
also get a big help each year from St. Marys when
Mary Raley stops by to teach the kids about bike
safety. Many of our rides have over forty students
participating and we thank the public for showing

us respect as we ride in small groups through town.
Finding enough bikes for our students was one
of our early problems. During some of our early
brainstorming sessions, we got some much needed
help from our partners from St. Marys and the
Evansville Bicycle Club. Ann Pendley, Hank Hudson,
and Roxanne Heuring were instrumental in helping us
acquire over thirty bikes from the Boonville Sheriffs
Department. We continue to receive donations from
the public and local police and we could not continue
our success without this support.
Since our fleet of bikes closely resemble a junkyard,
it is essential that we keep them mechanically
sound. Adult volunteers and students share this
responsibility as we fix flat tires, adjust brakes, and
replace broken parts. Students earn Bike Bux for
their work that can be used to purchase rewards like
a new Fox helmet or hydration pack. Most of these
rewards were purchased from a Live Well grant
that we received from Orthopedic Associates a few

years ago. We also stocked up on bike repair stands,
parts, tools, and other supplies thanks to generous
donations from the Evansville Bicycle Club and a
grant from Boonville Walmart.
Stay up-to-date with Boonville Bike Club activities and

events by joining us on Facebook at www.facebook.
com/groups/boonvillebikeclub
Students also earn Bike Bux for working on local

trails. In 2011, students from my classes along with
the bike club built a one-mile singletrack on our
school campus. We have also designed and built
many new trails at Scales Lake Park with the help
of the Evansville Mountain Bike Association. Our
biggest achievement has been the construction of
the areas first mountain bike skills area at Scales
Lake. The Pit skills area features a pump track, dirt
jumps, and wooden challenge course. Local kids
certainly love the skills area and its a great place for
adults to take their riding to the next level.
The Boonville Bike Club has also taken an active
role to promote safe biking in our community. We
have helped to design a bike-friendly path system

going the extra
mile
by Sean Kuykendall
For 10 weeks, these 13 Outreach participants, ranging
from elementary to middle school, trained every

Saturday for three hours. First they swam, then biked,
then followed with miles of running. The group was
led by a community volunteer, Brad, who constantly
reminded the group that if it was easy, everyone
would do it. He pushed the group, some of which
could not swim one length of the pool, to do their
very best with the primary goal of crossing the finish
line. With the help of individual swim instruction,
all of the participants completed the swim portion
of the triathlon, which was a great accomplishment
for the team.
This years team was a committed group as evidenced
by over 90% of them attending an optional practice
over spring break. This commitment was further
solidified as they trained Saturday after Saturday
encouraging others to swim farther, bike harder, and
run farther. Their hard work and perseverance was
aided by volunteers who encouraged them, including
a dietician who taught them how to eat smart and
healthy the week before the event, adults who biked

with them on the greenway and made sure they were
safe, and board members and extended family who
made posters and cheered the athletes on in the
transition areas.
These 13 students could have stayed home on
Saturday morning playing video games with friends;
instead they trained for over 3 hours each day and
became tri-athletes.
One in particular had to go the extra mile, literally.

The Outreach group all checked in together and got
their numbers painted on. As the age groups formed,
Mahogany noticed she was not with her friends she
had trained with but was with a group of older girls.
Despite being able to go back and compete at her age
level, she chose to stay with the older peers, saying
she was okay with running the extra mile required
to finish the triathlon in that group. Her volunteer
mentor and fellow teammates met toward the end of
the race, and the Outreach team ran the last mile

with her, providing the energy and motivation for her

to sprint to the finish line.
Recently, she asked how far an upcoming YMCA

5K race was. After being told the distance, she said
she could do it. It was no problem since she had run
the extra mile during the triathlon. An example and
inspiration for many, Mahogany understands what
its like to go the extra mile. Beyond the friendships
she formed with her teammates, she formed a new
relationship with a mentor who recently sponsored
her to attend a STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Math) Camp at the University of
Southern Indiana as well as contributed to a fund
which allowed her to attend a free week at YMCA
Camp Carson.
Thirteen participants accomplished something less
than 5% will ever even attempt. Now they all call
themselves triathletes.

8 GREAT TIPS FROM TRI STATE PARENTS ON RAISING ACTIVE CHILDREN
MOVING
GETTING KIDS ACTIVE

"At our house, we talk to our kids about how
important exercise is to be healthy, fit and
strong...we don't exercise to be a certain weight
as that can, and often does, create an unhealthy
relationship with exercise in kids. If children grow
up seeing their parents exercise and exercising
with them, it is much more likely for them to
continue exercising as just a normal part of
their life and because they enjoy it...which is the
ultimate goal."
- Breann Ellis, Mom of 3

"Be an active parent! ;)
Also limiting screen time. Unless it's raining,
freezing, or dark -no electronics."
- Karrie Clevengar, Mom of 3
"Encourage an active lifestyle in your children

by keeping the activities fun! Take the time
to determine what activities your children are
most interested in. Does your child enjoy the
competition associated with organized sports
or would he / she rather play outside with
friends and family? As always, modeling is a key
component in the education process of adopting
a lifelong active lifestyle."
- Michelle Walker, Mom of 6

"I use my childrens electronic interest to
motivate them to play outside. For each hour
they play outside, they can earn 15 minutes of
electronic time of their choice-TV, video game,
DS, etc."
- Darla Chapman, Mom of 3
"Making activities fun for them to want to go out

and do it. One of the reasons I have a kids dash
at all my races is so my kids can go and run and
also take in the fitness atmosphere at the races."
- Brandon Barrett, Race Director

and Father of 4
"Our attitude towards activity is similar to our
methods for healthy eating. We will turn off the
TV (and hide the multiple other devices in the
house) and take them outside or to the gym in
the winter. A lack of other alternatives is a way
to change behavior. We also believe being a
good role model is the most important way to
positively influence an active lifestyle."
- Kyle Dodd, Father of 2

"I've learned, primarily, that kids get tired of
constantly being told "what" and "how" to do
things. I decided, after they tried some youth
sports, that my girls would have to get to a
point/age of deciding on their own that they
wanted to participate in something to maintain a
healthy lifestyle. Lead by example was all I could
do until they reached that point. This, in turn, has
led to some great quality time while doing some
activities together."
- Allison Novak, Mom of 2

"Activity needs to be fun play for kids. Invest
in that bike for them, skip movies & go roller
skating. Plan trips to state park for hikes &
some even have swimming pools. For the older
kids, try the indoor climbing walls, kayaking or
jumping facilities. Pull the plug more, hijack the
phone & be spontaneous!"
- Beth Gabhart, Mom of 3

HIKE IT BABY
I USED TO WORK FULL-TIME AS A ZOOKEEPER,
feeding and cleaning up after monkeys. Then I had

twins and I became a stay-at-home mom, taking
care of a different kind of primate. I didnt know a
lot of people with kids and I found it hard to make
a connection with anyone at places where babies
usually congregate. Enter Hike it Baby.
CONTA
CT
US
Hike it Baby was started in 2013 in Portland,

OR by a mom looking to meet other moms who
enjoyed being outdoors. The friendships she made
while hiking on trails helped her stave off postpartum depression. Soon she had a dedicated
group of followers and it wasnt just moms with
babies: dads, grandmas, older children, nannies.
As of November 2015, there were almost 70,000
members in 177 branches across the United States
and internationally.
There are many reasons for Hike it Babys success. Its

a free to join and branches are instructed to have at
least 80% of their hikes/walks be free as well (some
places like Indiana State Parks charge gate fees). They
have an awesome leave no hiker behind mantra,
which means we stop for diaper changes, feedings,
and meltdowns. And speaking of meltdowns,
everyones kids are going to have them. Youll be
hanging out with a group that takes them in stride.
If youd like to meet people with kids that enjoy the
outdoors, please look us up! Our website is www.
hikeitbaby.com. We host weekly walks, hikes, and
playground meet-ups year-round.

ON THE RIVER
For Healthy, Local Food
Online Farmers Market opening in Evansville area
by Aimee Blume
Our new all-local online market, iPICKHERE,
will soon be up and running with a plethora

of healthy foods and locally-made items
available for purchase. Healthboth of
tri-state residents and the local economy-is a main focus of iPICKHERE, so it seems
only fitting that the first market and pickup day will be happening at the River Run
on May 21.
Karen Conaway, the force behind the
Franklin Street Bazaar, along with Erica
Kissinger and Steve Doyle, put together
iPICKHERE in an effort to make it easier
for local people to choose local products.
Everything offered on the site is grown,
made, cooked or finished within 100 miles
of Evansville, and it can all be ordered and
paid for online beginning on April 23, then
picked up at a physical market.
iPICKHERE is a food hub, and its more,
said Conaway. It will serve both retail and

wholesale customers, connecting them
with local producers in one easy location.
Gardeners, farmers, artisans, clothing
makers, small and large scale manufacturers,
anyone that makes or grows something or
creates a finished item within 100 miles of
Evansville can sell through the site.
As if iPICKHERE werent neat enough on
its own, at the River Run, iPICKHERE is
partnering with The Indiana Department of
Agriculture to present an even larger-thanusual variety of Indiana-produced foods for
a very exciting grand opening.
The Department of Agriculture will be
inviting Indiana Grown vendors from
throughout the state to attend this market
and give a little information on the Indiana
Grown program, which is in its first year.
said Conaway.
iPICKHERE vendors will have products

available for purchase on the website before
May 21st, which can be bought online and
picked up at the River Run market. There
will also be a vendor fair at the River Run for
direct purchase of foods and goods.
There are a number of advantages to buying
goods from an online hub such as this.
Maybe the greatest is that buyers will have
direct communication with the producers
and growers through the iPICKHERE site,
so if a customer has specific dietary needs or
preferences on how their food is produced,
they can talk to the growers directly to
determine which products meet their needs.
Because iPICKHERE eliminates the need
for the middle-man and costly long-distance
shipping, the prices should be comparable to
what one would normally pay at a market or
retail establishment for the same item.

NIGHT F L IG H T
In a nutshell, iPICKHERE offers a number of

benefits to both producers and consumers in the
local area:

It allows customers to choose local first,

without a need to commit large amounts

of time and travel, and they dont have to
worry about showing up late to find the producer
has already sold out of what they want.

It allows smaller suppliers to get a share

of the market, because its no additional

trouble for purchasers to buy a product
from three farmers if their order is larger than one
could supply alone.

Vendors can be based at home as a cottage

industry, so they can start selling products

with very minimal start-up costs. Homebased food producers will not be inspected, but a
member of iPICKHERE will visit the production area
and take a picture to post on that vendors page.

Producers that cannot, for whatever

reason, maintain normal working hours or

work outside the home, can work at home
and sell their goods through the site.

SNAP, WIC, and Senior Nutrition

Program members will be welcome to

make purchases at the iPICKHERE pick
up locations, so regardless of economic status,
shoppers will have access to high-quality, locallyproduced food.

Producers will not be required to spend

hours away from the shop or farm or hire

employees to man a booth, and will only
produce or pick the amount purchased, eliminating
waste. This also helps hold down costs.
If many people purchase through iPICKHERE it
will prove a need and demand for local products.
Having iPICKHERE as a year round market will now
enable local producers to apply for grants to meet
this increased demand. New vendors who might
be interested in selling on iPICKHERE have plenty
of time to join, and this includes much more than

food items. Makers of clothing, soap, leather goods,
lotions, wood crafts, and more are all welcome to join,
just remember all items must be made or completely
finished by the vendor.
Vendors can register and begin creating their stores
at no charge, but to being selling on iPICKHERE
there is a yearly membership fee and a commission
on sales.
After the River Run, iPICKHERE markets for pick
up (and always a few direct sales) will take place
throughout the week at various locations around
the area including the Franklin Street Bazaar. For
new market location announcements register at

Managing Allergies and

Staying Active
by Anne McLaughlin, MD
Deaconess Clinic Allergist
and Immunologist
Check the Forecast
aily exercise is important for overall

health, and exercising in beautiful
weather makes it more enjoyable. As a
runner myself, Im always excited for spring to
arrivethe blue skies and warm breezes seem
to beckon you outside.
If you plan to exercise outdoors, check the

local weather and pollen forecasts. If you are
allergic to pollen, try to keep your exercise
indoors during high pollen forecasts. Typically,
pollen counts are highest during warmer days.
Pollen is at a lower count right after rainfall
and on cooler days. Wind is another factor for
those with allergies. Low to no wind is the best
option for those who want to exercise outdoors.
But if you have allergies, outdoor activity could

leave you feeling miserable during or afterward.
Learn to manage your allergies by following
some simple tips.
If you are allergic to pollen, try to avoid early

morning outdoor exercise or other outdoor
activities (such as gardening), because pollen
counts are higher in the morning.
Understand Your Allergy
Block the Pollen
Allergy symptoms include sneezing, a clear

runny nose, itchy eyes and sometimes even an
itchy face.
If you suffer more in the early spring (MarchMay), you likely have an allergy to tree pollen.
Allergy symptoms in the late spring or early
summer (May-June) are are usually related to
grass pollen allergy. Fall allergy symptoms are
usually caused by exposure to weed pollen or
mold spores.
If you know that youre allergic to certain
allergens, such as tree pollen, grass pollen,
weed pollen or mold spores, then youll be
interested in our Deaconess Clinic pollen
count, which is updated on weekdays during
allergy season. You can see the pollen count
online at deaconess.com/pollen.
If you do plan to be outside during high pollen

months, there are ways to protect yourself from
exposure. Covering your hair with a hat can
prevent pollen from getting in your hair, where
it can be transferred to your pillow at night.
Wearing sunglasses or sport goggles can help
keep pollen out of your eyes. If your skin is
particularly sensitive to pollen exposure, you
may need to wear long sleeves and pants.
Wash Away the Allergens
If you have pollen allergies, its also important

to change your clothes and shower after being
outdoors. During pollen season, your clothing,
hair and skin could become covered with
pollen. After you exercise outdoors, toss your
clothes in the laundry and take a shower to
rinse off any allergen left on your skin and in
your hair. Your hair collects a lot of pollen,
Visit us online!
deaconess.com/allergy
and if you dont wash it out, it gets deposited
on your pillow when you sleep at night.
Some people find relief by using nasal
irrigation. It can really help, especially for
patients who have a history of sinusitis. You
actually rinse out the irritating allergens from
the nasal passages. There are a few options for
doing this. One is a neti pot; the other is a
rinse bottle, which gives more pressure than the
neti pot. They can all be purchased at a drug
store. Be sure to use the enclosed saline packets
with distilled waternever tap water.
Medication for Controlling

Allergy Symptoms
Once youve worked to reduce exposure to

allergens, the next step for symptom control is
medication.
There are some medicines that have more
significant sleepiness side effects than others.
For example, Benadryl and other sedating
antihistamines can make you feel very groggy.
Most of the 24-hour antihistamines, such as
Claritin and Allegra, dont typically cause as
much sleepiness. Zyrtec does make about 10%
of users drowsy. Taking medications before
bed can help reduce the daytime sleepiness.
I recommend these medications for people of
all ages. Theyre over-the-counter and do not
require a prescription. There are also generic
forms of these medications available at the
drug store that usually work just as well as
name-brand medications.
Eye drops can also be helpful in reducing itchy

eyes. Alaway and Zaditor are two over-thecounter eye drops that can help reduce watery,
itchy eye symptoms.
Two nasal steroid sprays are now available over
the counter. Nasacort and Flonase both work
to reduce inflammation and allergic reaction
inside the nose. Theyre non-habit forming and
are even safe for kids. And now you dont need
a prescription to use these. These nasal steroid
sprays can be even more effective if you start
them prior to symptom onset, such as a week
or two before your allergy season starts.
Allergy Testing/Immunotherapy
(Allergy Shots)
Some people try to power through their
allergy symptoms, thinking of them as more of
an annoyance or nuisance than a real problem.
But allergies can take their toll on your overall

health. Allergy symptoms can affect your sleep,
which leads to poor concentration at work or
school. Sinus infections can result when the
sinuses are constantly inflamed. Asthma can
also be the result of allergies. Plus, just being
miserable from allergies can put you in a bad
mood and affect your quality of lifeas well as
the people around you!
If your allergies arent manageable with
medications and avoidance, a next step may be
allergy testing and allergy injections.
Allergy testing is a way for your doctor to
determine what you are allergic to so you can
focus on avoiding those specific allergens. Its
normally done with a skin-prick test, in which
your inner arms are poked with drops of liquid
that contains allergens, and your individual
reaction to each drop is measured.
Once your specific allergens have been

identified, then you can consider the option
of immunotherapy, also known as allergy
injections. Allergy injections gradually help you
become less allergic to certain allergens.
We start off with an extremely low dose of
what the patient is allergic to and give the
injection into the back side of the upper arm.
Its not an intramuscular shot, so it doesnt hurt
like many shots do. Each week, the patient
receives an increasing dose of their allergy
vaccine, thus making them tolerant to these
allergens. The shots start out weekly, and
after about eight months, theyre spread out
to monthly shots. Patients receive monthly
injections for four to five years.
This is an ideal option for those with many
allergies or those who have severe symptoms
that arent managed well with medications and
avoidance.
I hope this article is helpful to any physicallyactive allergy sufferers, and I hope I see you out
on a walk or run soon!

Staying Hydrated for Peak

Performancein Life!
By Beth Gabhart, RN,
The Womens Hospital
Three-Time Ironman
Finisher, Silver All-World
Ironman Athlete
taying hydrated is a topic that is relevant

to everyonebut especially for those who
are active. The human body is composed
of approximately 60% water, which keeps the
body functioning at every level. Studies show
that 80% of Americans know they should
drink more water, yet 75% of Americans are
chronically dehydrated. This demonstrates a
huge gap in knowing and doing.
Most athletes know the importance of
hydration but underestimate how it can
affect performance. Active people must also
understand that hydration helps them stay
healthy and must become part of their routine.
Most of us have heard that we need eight
8-ounce cups of water per day. This 8 x
8 saying was created years ago as an easy
reminder to drink more water. As chronic
dehydration is studied more, its now

recommended by the Institute of Medicine
that most men need approximately 13 cups of
water per day, while women need around
9 cups. A more precise equation is to drink
half of your body weight in ounces (180 lb.
man needs 90 oz. /day). In reality, were
meeting neither the old 8 x 8 rule nor what is
medically recommended.
The body has compensation mechanisms
to function on mild dehydration, but it
doesnt come without cost. Organs, including
kidneys and the heart, must work harder to
maintain fluid balance. Other body systems
are negatively affected, which can result in
headaches, irritability, poor concentration
and fatigue.
As our activity increases, so should our water
intake, due to increased muscle contraction
and cellular changes involved in producing
energy. Warmer, more humid conditions
require increased fluid intake that may include
electrolytes (depending on sweat loss) as the
body tries to keep its core temperature stable
while maintaining proper cellular function.
Visit us online!
deaconess.com/myhealth
When Dehydration Occurs
If dehydration occurs, heart rate increases,

muscles have decreased contraction ability,
and endurance is lost, in addition to other
complications such as heat illness, heat stroke
or other cardiac implications.
A 4% loss in weight from fluid deficit will
result in decreased muscle contraction of
20%25%. When dehydration occurs, recovery
time is 2436 hours to regain muscle strength
and endurance. Its recommended that if
you know your activity will last longer than
60 minutes, is high in intensity or will take
place in warm conditions, one must begin
hydrating 45 to 60 minutes beforehand with
a sports drink or other electrolyte nutrition,
along with approximately 16 oz. per hour
during the activity.
For athletes and active individuals, water
lost through sweat and evaporation must be
replaced. Activity in hot conditions can create a
fluid loss of up to three liters per hour, but one
to two liters per hour is most common.
Its recommended that endurance athletes

conduct a sweat rate test a couple of times per
year to approximate their estimated fluid loss.
By weighing right before and after activity, the
amount of fluid weight lost can be measured
(1 lb.=16 oz.).
We also need to keep our electrolyte balances
in check. Generally, we need about 1g of salt
per 1L of fluid when exercising longer than an
hour. Most sports drinks have 300mg500mg,
and other products such as athletic gels or
chews have varying levels.
Potassium, also found in many sport nutrition
products, is another electrolyte that can affect
cellular activity and salt balance, but its not
as strongly affected as sodium balance. Those
with higher sweat rates or salty sweaters
(excessive sodium loss in sweat) may require
salt replacement tablets or powder mix.
Preventing Dehydration
Its important to note that once dehydration

sets in during an activity or race, its nearly
impossible to drink yourself back into balance.
The best cure for dehydration is to be hydrated
before you start any activity and regularly drink
moderate amounts during events lasting longer
than an hour so that a deficit doesnt occur.
We must commit to making changes to stop
training our body to function in a dehydrated
state. Here are some important tips for
everyone, every day:
By the time you feel thirsty, youre already

partially dehydrated due to a delay in brain
signaling and years of ignoring the thirst
center. This helps in maintaining weight and
hydration.
As more studies show that water intake is key
to keeping our body healthy in more ways than
we ever thought, from the cellular level to the
whole system, we can no longer ignore what
our bodies are trying to tell us. Have you had
your water today?
Start mornings off with a glass of water to

help kick in waste removal and to activate
thirst centers and metabolism.
Keep a water bottle at work marked
with how much you need to consume by
certain times.
deaconess.com/myhealth
Drink a glass of water before meals to curb

appetite and because the body can turn on
hunger cues to get water from foods if its
not getting it in liquid form.
