Hey, Neptune here. I just wanted to make this because of how hot it's been lately. it's storming outside my house right now as a write this, but normally it's pretty hot outside. So let's do this.

Staying Hydrated
So when adults always say to you, "Stay Hydrated!" or "Drink this water before you pass out!", you might roll your eyes or even ignore them. But those adults telling you that (shock) they might actually be right.

According to the article below, "Drinking enough water each day is crucial for many reasons: to regulate body temperature, keep joints lubricated, prevent infections, deliver nutrients to cells, and keep organs functioning properly. Being well-hydrated also improves sleep quality, cognition, and mood."

Well, let me tell you, your not.

You could''' pass out and even die from not getting enough water. '''It's a very serious thing that many people shrug off.

The first sign your dehydrated is when you have a headache. This is a vital sign you need something to drink.

In fact, experts say if your thirsty, you've waited too long to drink something.

Fact vs. Fiction
Water is vital to your life, and cannot be replaced.

Even if you want to crack open a nice coke and hydrate, it can't replace water. Even Gatorade and other drinks can't replace it.

I know what your thinking. "sO tHaT MEaNs yOu ShoUldN't DrInK AnyThInG eLSe BeSiDeS wAtEr?"

Well no, you can drink other things, but try to drink enough water too.

And that's where fact vs Fiction comes into play.

How hot does it need to be?
It doesn't matter the temperature, you need water no matter what. However, you need more water the hotter it gets.
