WATER AND GOOD HEALTH

WATER AND GOOD HEALTH

Water forms a major component of the tissues and cells of the body. Without water the human body will survive only a few days. Water is also a key part of any weight loss program. Water is very necessary for helping the body remove fat, and for general overall health.

The average person should consume 8 to 10 eight-ounce glasses of water each day. Although water is the best "thirst-quencher," other liquids (such as juices, milk, sodas, and teas) can help meet fluid needs. High sugar and high caffeine beverages are not the best choices because they can lead to increased urination.

The following are some of the benefits of water:



Water suppresses appetite and reduces fat deposits in the body.
Water not only fills you up and lessens your appetite, it prevents those "hungry horrors" we all encounter when our blood sugar drops and we reach for cookies, candy, ice cream, fries or other high-calorie treats. Thus it keeps a check on your health and diet.
Water assists the body in metabolizing stored fat, because your liver is overloaded when your kidneys don't get enough water. Your liver metabolizes fat, and it can't do that 100% if it is doing the kidneys job.
Water relieves fluid retention problems.
It reduces sodium buildup in the body.
It helps to maintain proper muscle tone.
Water rids the body of waste and toxins and relieves constipation.

Tips on water intake:

Drink a minimum of 64 ounces per day (2 quarts).
Drink an additional 8 ounces per day for every 25 pounds overweight.
It is better to drink the water cold, it is absorbed quicker and may burn more calories.
Drink clean water, bottled or filtered.

Water Water I LUBSSSSSSS WATER

And alll of that is SOOO true! I drink water like crazy and I don't really get as hungry as people do, and I don't really like all that junk food stuff (ew), and water is just...the best

How 10 glasses of water a day can keep your doctor away

Water is a cheap natural resource with multiple health benefits, so much so that it is comparable to these artificial health products in our modern life.

Let’s look at the 7 primary goodness of water:

1. Moisturizer
Water helps to moisturize our skin from the inside, making it firmer and suppler. Hence, water makes our skin look younger!

2. Detox
By flushing toxins away from our body, water helps to lessen the burden on our kidneys and liver by diluting their toxic load.

3. Lubricants
Our joints and muscles are cushioned and lubricated by water. We can reduce the incident of cramping and fatigue during workouts by drinking water beforehand.

4. Diet Pills
Water suppresses the appetite naturally. Studies have shown that as little as one glass of water eliminated hunger pangs for almost 100% of those dieters studied. It also metabolizes stored fat, which helps in weight loss.

5. Indigestion Pills
Water is essential for proper digestion. By drinking water before our meal, we can prevent dehydration during food digestion.

6. Painkillers
Headaches and heartburn are usually results of dehydration. Drinking sufficient water keeps both away.

7. Energizers
A 2% drop in body water can impair concentration and foggy short-term memory. With enough water, we will feel more energetic as it helps to eliminate our mental fatigue.



As you can see, the benefits of water are many.
Drinking water gets you going … and keeps you going. However, you can only achieve the maximum benefit by drinking water at the right time. So, how do we drink water? Simple as it may sound; little do we know that our bodies are dehydrated most of the time.

One of the main causes of dehydration is to drink water only when you feel the thirst.

Some experts actually recommended you to do so - Drink when you are thirsty.

However, the fact is this - Thirst is a lagging indicator of dehydration.

When you feel thirsty, it means that your body has already been in a prolonged state of water shortage. Drinking water at one shot does not help. This is because our body can only process up to 8 ounces of water per hour (when you are resting).

Any excess amount will be excreted. This is because our body is not a car fuel tank.

We need to consistently sip water throughout the whole day to stay hydrated. This applies even when we exercise. Gulping water down your throat increases your frequency of toilet visits. It is simply anti-water conservation.

The best way to keep track the amount of water you have drunk is to use water bottles. Have a few water bottles placed at different parts of your house (eg. your working area or reading corner). This will be easier for you to monitor the amount of water you have drunk throughout the day than to having to count the individual cups.

Also, we should avoid caffeinated beverages and alcohol as both contain substances that will cause dehydration. Carbonated drinks cause bloating or a feeling of fullness and prevent adequate consumption of fluids. If you drink caffeinated drinks, increase your daily intake by two cups of water for every cup drank.

Take these small actions now and protect your body from dehydration. Nurture it with the natural goodness of water by practicing good water drinking habits.
