"When the body is properly hydrated, the blood is at the proper consistency, enabling efficient distribution throughout the body. The cells of a hydrated body swell, causing an anabolic response (growth of muscle tissue), speeding up cellular renewal. As well, hydrated cells remain alkaline. A catabolic response (breakdown of muscle tissue) will occur if the cells become dehydrated, advancing degeneration. Maintaining blood volume through proper hydration also allows:

• red blood cells to deliver oxygen to muscles efficiently,
• delivery of nutrients throughout the body,
• removal of waste products such as carbon dioxide,
• proper hormone distribution.
