The Pharmacist Answers Podcast

Your health is probably one of the most important things to you.  Yet it can be one of the most complicated things to understand.  Our bodies are meant to work a certain way, but when they don't, we may never be 100% sure why or what to do about it - even after seeing a healthcare professional.

The Pharmacist Answers Podcast is hosted by Cynthia Hendrix, PharmD.  On the Podcast, you can learn the basics of body parts and organ groups, get a glimpse of how disease processes work, and learn some practical steps to take in your own flesh and blood relationships with healthcare providers.

Everyone's health story is different.  No one is truly a "textbook case".  You need someone who sees your uniqueness and help you gain the knowledge and confidence to have conversations, ask questions, and make decisions that are right for YOU!

*The Podcast started out as live conversations on Periscope.

Drink Your Water

Jul 27, 2015

Water for Life

Avoid becoming dehydrated. Drink water, lots of water. Eight 8 oz glasses of water a day, at least.

Your body is mostly water. If you end up in a deficit, heat sickness or heat stroke may ensue.

Drink room temperature water to be able to drink more and absorb more. Here’s a website that explains different situations in which you should drink water at different temperatures.

If you feel thirsty, you’re already at a deficit and needs to be corrected ASAP.

Make sure kids are drinking water and staying hydrated. And your pets too!

Temperature References

Water freezes at 32º F
Refrigerated water is between 35-45º F
Room temperature is between 68-78º F
Body temperature is 98.6º F
Your hot water heater is probably set somewhere between 110-140º F
