Eleventh Annual Hydration for Health Scientific Conference: From Water Resources to Metabolic Health and Drinking Behavior
Abstract
The Hydration for Health (H4H) Scientific Conference moved into its second decade with a meeting held in Evian, France, on June 25th–26th, 2019. Every year since 2008, this unique international conference has brought people together who share a common goal: to explore the relationship between hydration and health. As has become the norm, the conference was preceded by the Hydration for Health Academy. Each year, the academy evolves to target the needs of the audience and this conference saw the addition of the European Association for the Study of Obesity’s teaching course. The conference was split into three main sessions: Hydration and Metabolic Health, Water Resource Management, and Water and Behavior Change. The sessions were followed by an expert panel discussion that addressed the question, “How can cutting edge technology help us drink better?” The now well-established Pitch Your Science Challenge completed the program with presentations from six young hydrationists aiming to win the Young Researcher Award. During the first decade of the H4H Scientific Conference, the relationship between hydration and metabolic health generated a lot of interest [1], and this was highlighted in the first session by Dr. Tiphaine Vanhaecke’s (Danone Research, Palaiseau, France) (in this issue) narrative of our current understanding regarding water intake, hormonal regulation of body water, and mechanistic management of blood glucose. The presentation began with the original…
