How much water do you need? CNN Share
Summer temperatures are soaring, and that scratchy dryness in your throat makes you crave a glass of water. What you might not know is: If you feel thirsty, you're likely to be already dehydrated. "If you drink only when you're thirsty, you're probably behind the 8-ball when it comes to drinking water and to staying hydrated," said Dr. Sylvia Morris, assistant professor at the Emory University School of Medicine.

Normal weight and underweight teenage girls who falsely believe they are overweight are at significantly greater risk of succumbing to unnecessary and unsafe weight-loss behaviors than girls who can accurately assess their weight status, according to new research by a University of Illinois expert in eating disorders and body-image perception. More A workout for your bloodstream The New York Times Share
What does exercise do to your body? It may seem as if science, medicine and common sense answered that question long ago. But in fact, the precise mechanisms by which exercise alters your body—at a deep, molecular level—remain poorly understood. A number of analysis of the effect that exercise has on heart disease, for instance, have concluded that working out lessens a person's chances of developing heart problems far more than scientists can account for. They understand the physiological reasons for about 60 percent of the reduced risk. The rest is a mysterious if welcome bonus. But a new study that gauged the metabolic effects of exercise may significantly advance our understanding of what's going on inside a body in motion. More
Small business owners need a crash course in taxes The Associated Press Share
Estimated taxes. Self-employment taxes. Tax accounts. These are words that quickly enter the vocabulary of people who have been laid off and are making the transition to working for themselves. These small business owners find they have to worry about tax matters that weren't their problem when they worked for someone else.
