The human body can be anywhere between 55% to 78% water depending on
body size. Two-thirds of body consists of water, and water is the main
component of the human body. Did you know that your tissues and organs
are mainly made up of water? Every cell in your body needs water. If you
become dehydrated, brain and body functions can be greatly affected and
workouts can become quite difficult to complete.
Percentages:
•Muscle consists of 75% water
•The brain consists of 90% water
•Bone consists of 22% water
•Blood consists of 83% water
The functions of water in the human body:
•Water transports nutrients and oxygen into cells
•Water moisturizes the air in the lungs
•Water helps with metabolism
•Water protects our vital organs
•Water helps our organs to absorb nutrients
•Water regulates body temperature
•Water detoxifies
•Water protects and moisturizes our joints
Harmful Effects of Dehydration:
•Tiredness
•Migraine
•Constipation
•Muscle Cramps
•Irregular Blood Pressure
•Kidney Problems
•Dry Skin
Symptoms of Dehydration:
•Dark Urine: Urine is generally pale yellow to clear when you have sufficient water intake. Dark color or strong smell indicates
that you need to drink more water,
•Dry Skin: Skin is the largest body organ and requires its share of water.
•Thirst: Thirst is the most obvious sign that you are already dehydrated. It is always good to practice to drink more water when
you are NOT thirsty, don’t wait until you’re thirsty.
•Hunger: Most people mistake hunger for the indication to eat more, whereas in actual fact, they may be dehydrated. So
before you have your meal, grab a glass of water.
•Fatigue: Water is a source of energy and gives you a boost of energy.

Hello… My Name is Elizabeth Huggins. Just a little bit about myself. I was overweight and a very critical diabetic
(8 insulin shots a day). After having a hard time conceiving, in 2009 I was blessed with a handsome son named Kenlee.
In 2011, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. There I was, with a 2 year
old child and to hear I have cancer, I was completely devastated. My
thyroid was removed and my body did not accept the removal very well.
Within 24 hours, I was in a paraplegic state because of low calcium. The
doctor told me that I would have trouble walking and trouble with my
bones due to the calcium issue. Being 312 pounds, anything I did was a
task. I blamed myself for being tired on all of my medical issues and
never about me being overweight.
Fast forward to December 2012, I knew I needed to make a change. I was
connected with my trainer. A few days later and told her about myself
but would NOT tell her my weight!! My trainer advised me on how to get
started and she and a friend of mine talked me into doing the Rivertown
Reindeer Race (5K). I wondered how in the world I was going to do this
at 312 pounds and with my calcium issue. I signed up even though I was
the very last person to finish the race, I FINISHED!!!! It took me 1 hour
and 24 minutes… BUT, I FINISHED!!!!!!

BEFORE/AFTER
In 2013 my cancer came back. I became really depressed and wanted to give up, but I couldn’t let myself do that. My
son needed me! I started my radiation again and all was well.
I told myself I was not going to let my medical issues get me down. I had a reason to live, I wanted to play with my son.
Since beginning my journey, my son has started running 5K’s with me and he encourages me every day to keep going. I
encourage everyone to start! It may only be for 5 minutes but you have to start somewhere!
3 years later, I am down 135 pounds and no longer on insulin to control my diabetes. I have completed three half
marathons and just competed my first Sprint Triathlon. Being overweight has always hindered me from doing things
that I have always wanted to do. Skydiving has always been a dream, but knew it was something that I could not do
because of my weight. I am so ready for this dream to become reality!
