coffee

I'm not a big coffee person but I've had a couple of cups this morning. How much extra water should I drink to balance out some of the dehydrating effects that coffee has?

That's a really good question. Recent studies show that coffee is not dehydrating as previously thought.

Scroll down to where it says "Research."

But drink half your pound weight in ounces everyday anyway. It's a good habit to get into.
