Bonus Tip: Mid-Morning Refresher
Wet your whistle! Water is an oomph-inducing essential. "Because the human body is made up of 60 to 75 percent water, when you're dehydrated you also become fatigued," says Jim Karas. How much H2O do you need? Many experts recommend 64 ounces daily. Both Karas and Kimball suggest drinking half your body weight in ounces, because water intake should be relative to your body mass (e.g., a 140-pound woman requires 70 ounces of water daily).
