I remember sitting in a classroom in 7th grade learning about how water was made up . All the atoms, molecules, oxygen and hydrogen facts. One thing I do not remember is my teacher mentioning how much I should drink to stay healthy and how very important it is too the body.
Here is some facts; our bodies are 60 to 70% water. It regulates our body temperature and helps nutrition get through our bodies It support all lungs, brains and kidney's to name a few. Our blood is mostly water.
You must consume water all day long. As the days go on water is depleted from your body. It uses it up. That is why we urinate and sweat. If you exercise or sweat more due to heat you need more water to rehydrate and make up for the loss.
Dehydration is what happens when we do not get enough water. Dehydration can have many symptoms. One is aches and pain in the muscles, joints and back. It causes headaches and constipation. Another clear sign is a darkening or odor in the urine.
Now we know how important it is to get water so let's talk about how much we need to drink everyday. You should take you current body weight and divide it by two. This is how many ounces of water you should be taken in each day.
So you think there is no way you can drink that much water? Well there is good news. Twenty percent of our water comes from the foods we eat. The other 80% can come from tap or spring water as well as, flavored water, Kool-Aid, non caffeinated tea and sports drinks.
Our schedules are sometimes so hectic that we can not keep up with how much water we have drank though out our day. You could keep a water bottle at all times, wear 8 rubber bands removing one for each 8 ounces you drink or something of that nature.
So it is very important that you get the daily amount of water your body needs. Make it a habit to drink all you can. Sip on it all day. Pay attention to the signs that you are not getting enough water. - 15255
