“Keep Calm and Stay Hydrated”

​Don’t wait until your thirsty to go for a drink of Water!  As stated by Holistic Practitioners, the suggested daily intake is half the body weight in ounces. So if your weight is 150lbs, and half of that is 75, then you are required to drink 75floz of water daily.  Depending on how active you are throughout the day, you may need to drink even more water.

The most important food for our body system is water because it makes up 70% of every cell in our bodies. It is the prime life force that is needed for everyone to be in good health. It plays a vital role in all bodily functions. The body uses water for digestion, tissue building, absorption, cleansing and transporting of nutrients. It dilutes body waste by decreasing waste’s toxicity and aids in the expel of waste from the body and so much more.  
​
Yet drinking the daily recommended amount of water could be a challenge no matter how simple it may appear to be.  If the proper water intake is not given, the body will adhere to dehydration and toxicity. In this case, a toxic body is a resting place for disease and ailments, and that which water can disrupt on a subatomic level. 

Usually, urine will be pale yellow if the body is sufficiently hydrated and a key factor for a measure of an adequate amount of water intake.

​1.    Make it Convenient

If you’re too busy, make hydration convenient for you! If having difficulty with large amounts at a sitting, try drinking a small amount of H20 at a time every couple of hours . For instance, drink 4oz every couple of hours of free and clear water. Place a pitcher or water bottle conveniently on your desk or a refillable bottle easy to reach. Something that will suit your lifestyle as appealing, so that you’re more likely to fit it in your routine.  

• Check local WATER Department to find out how it’s being treated, the rating in cleanliness, and/or with Environmental reporters from the Newspaper if tap water is your better water source.​

WATER SOURCES;

• Tap WATER- comes out of household taps or faucets and is generally obtained either from surface water or groundwater. Surface water has run off from ponds, creeks, streams, rivers, lakes, and is collected in reservoirs. Groundwater is filtered through the ground and extracted via well

• Regardless of the original source of ​tap H2O, it is susceptible to a number of harmful chemicals and inorganic minerals in the body that cannot be used

 

• Bottled Water- about 25% of bottled water comes from the same water supplies that flow into the same areas of household taps 

• You will need to read the water source noted on the bottle to confirm its quality

 

• Artesian Water- is water drawn from a well where the water is brought to the surface by a natural pressure or flow

 

• Deionized Water- this process removes nitrates and the minerals calcium and magnesium, in addition to heavy metals cadmium, barium, lead, mercury, and some forms of radi​ological contaminants.

• Mineral Water- containing not less than 250 parts per million total dissolved solids, originating from a geologically and physically protected underground water source or spring.  Distinguished by constant levels and relative proportions of minerals and trace elements as its source, allowing for seasonal variations

 

• Natural Spring Water- an underground formation from which water flows naturally to the surface of the earth

• The location of the spring must be identified on the label of any water labeled as spring water

 

• Steam-Distilled Water- distillation involves vaporizing water by boiling it.

• Once consumed, steam-distilled water leaches inorganic minerals rejected by the cells and tissues out of the body
• Sparkling Water- contains the same amount of carbon dioxide that it had at emergence from the water source

​3. Routine Exercise

With regular and daily endurance your body is bound to request hydration often. As you work out more frequently, you will begin to notice how H2O is an essential substance, and more importantly, a vital part of your daily routine. As you do this, your body will signal you to drink H2O avidly. 
​
In one hour of exercise, the body can lose more than a quarter of its water; without an adequate amount of water the body will lack energy and your muscles may cramp. By drinking water before, during, and after exercise the heart functions better and muscles are in tune with the exercise.  Failure to replenish the water lost during exercise can result in the body’s electrolyte imbalance.  Drinking 2 cups of water before, in between 4 to 6 ounces every 15-20 minutes, and post workout as much of what was lost will sustain internal balance keeping you hydrated without any question nor concern.

Consider these tips as life-sustaining, but It doesn’t have to be a hassle. The consumption of sufficient water intake is a priority in order to engage in healthy habits.  Make hydration work for you as nourishing and convenient, that which it is always available for work or between rest. Activate your thirst sensor with daily exercises, and become consciously aware of the body’s need for  fruits/vegetables to stay hydrated. Besides, despite popular demand, WATER does the BODY GOOd!
