Show Page Four - The Springville Y v Ron and Sheri Furbeck of Springville are the new presidents presi-dents of the Hafen-Dallin Volunteer Guild at the Springville Spring-ville Museum of Art. They will coordinate the volunteers and docents and oversee fundraising projects this year. The Furbecks moved to Springville a few years ago and have gotten very involved in the museum. This past year the guild donated a carpet, chairs and large table for the Hafen-Dallin Gallery, under the direction of President Arianne Nemelka. They earned the money for these donations by holding several Dining for Art events. Eight: is eGiowgh Drinking eight 8-oz. glasses of water a day is the right prescription not only for healthy kidneys but for efficient metabolism as well, according to a University of Utah health expert. E. Wayne Askew, Ph.D., professor and director of the Division of Foods and Nutrition Nutri-tion in the U of U College of Health, has found new evidence evi-dence that eight 8-oz. glasses of water a day, or "8 x 8," as commonly expressed, not only helps maintain the body's bod-y's hydration status, but may bolster its metabolic rate as well, resulting in more efficient effi-cient burning of calories. In three previous studies Askew and his graduate students found that dehydration dehydra-tion depressed metabolism. In the most recent study designed to provide some physiological information on the advantages or disadvantages disadvan-tages of different levels of water consumption, research subjects were given four, eight or twelve 8-oz. glasses of water a day. On the morning of the fifth day before arising, they were hooked up to a machine that measured how many calories they burned per minute in a true resting condition. The concentration of their urine also was monitored, moni-tored, as well as blood indicators indi-cators of hydration status. The subjects "showed definite indications of dehydration dehy-dration with only four glasses a day as opposed to eight, where hydration was sufficient," suffi-cient," said Askew. There was little difference in effect on hydration indicators such as blood volume and total body water, however, between be-tween eight and 12 glasses. Askew pointed out that the average adult water intake is five to six glasses per day, far less than the eight glasses commonly recommended. Subjects also reported feeling better on eight glasses of water a day than on four: they had more energy, they were more inclined to study and their concentration was better. "Based upon our previous work on dehydration and resting metabolic rate, when people dehydrate 3 percent of their body weight (for example, exam-ple, you weigh 100 pounds and you lose three pounds of water), there's about a 2 percent decline in calorie burning per day," said Askew. "So if you exercise in a sweat suit or sit in a sauna to lose weight, you are only losing water and you may actually burn a fewer calories as a result of the slightly depressed metabolism." metabo-lism." Askew said this is because be-cause the body's cells shrink or expand depending on the amount of fluid they contain. This compression and expansion expan-sion of the cell changes the spatial relationship of the organelles (particles of living substances) inside the cell, alerting the efficiency of metabolism. "We think these changes in cellular size act as a signal for the regulation of cellular metabolism," said Askew. Askew stressed, however, that "8 x 8" is only a rule of Herald - January 29, 2003 thumb because "everybody has a different requirement. It will probably be a little too much water intake for a small, inactive person who gets a lot of fluids from other sources. But it may not be enough for a large, active person. You should drink eight glasses and then see how you feel or check your urine color." "The color of your urine should be very light yellow, almost straw-colored," said Askew. "If it's dark yellow, that's a sign you're not drinking drin-king enough." Askew cautions cau-tions that this may not always be a reliable indication, however, since vitamin supplementation sup-plementation may "mask" the true color of urine. Does 8x8 include the fluid you get from other sources? Askew said that the interpretation of this guideline guide-line is a source of some confusion. He believes that, while these fluids are helpful in meeting the daily fluid requirements, you should always strive to consume the eight glasses of water in addition to fluid from other sources, such as juice, coffee, cof-fee, soups or even solid foods like lettuce or celery. Most people probably don't drink as much as they should. "The problem with water intake and thirst," said Askew, "is that the thirst mechanism doesn't kick in until you've lost about 2-3 percent of your body weieht." Hatch approves drought relief Senator Orrin G. Hatch today applauded the passage of a measure that would provide much-needed assistance assis-tance for Utah's farmers and ranchers, who continue to be plagued by severe drought. Hatch supported the amendment amend-ment of Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Thad Cochran of Missouri, who spearheaded the effort to provide $3.1 billion in nation-wide disaster assistance for those stricken by drought. "We've seen the grand-, daddy of all droughts in Utah this year," said Hatch. "It is absolutely critical that we act now, before family farmers and ranchers are forced to sell." The Senate approved the amendment to the fiscal year 2003 appropriations bill by a vote of 59-35.

Hatch noted that the drought measure readjusts spending priorities, addresses the needs of livestock ranchers ranch-ers and stays within the top-line top-line budget figure agreed to last year by the president and congressional appropriators.

When drivers attention in on reading read-ing signs placed on poles and street sign posts, they are distracting and can lead to accidents or other problems.
