Drinking water is so important. We supply water to our body in order to restore or maintain a balance fluid There are so many ways we can do to keep ourselves hydrated.
Here are just a few things to keep our body hydrated.
Each time you reach for a beverage other than water, ask yourself if the water would do the trick, instead. You will be surprised by the number of times you're really just trying to quench your thirst.
Alcohol dehydrates you, so you should limit the amount of alcohol you consume. ( You will be actively limiting the amount of alcohol during our the previous Phase, but it's okay, it doesn't hurt to start early.)
Caffeine is a strong diuretic. You should limit the amount of caffeine you consume. For example, if you drink tea or iced tea, try herbal tea.
Purchase one of the many types of water filters for your home.. FIltering tap water not only improves the taste of the water but also takes out any impurities and is less costly than purchasing bottled water.
Make water available for you at any times. Carry a bottle of water around with you. Keeping water constantly with you will cost you to drink more of it. You will reach your daily requirement, one sip at a time!
Beware that if you are trying to kick the smoking habit or limit your alcohol consumption, being fully hydrated has been shown to help these two worth efforts tremendously!
Your Self-Watering Instructions
In our Phase 1, you will be drinking a minimum of 5 eight-ounce glasses of water each day. In Phase 2, when you begin to become more active, your water requirement will be a minimum of 7 eight=ounce glasses of water each day. In Phase 3, you will be exercising more and getting fitter, and you will need a minimum of 8 eight-ounce glasses of water each day. Finally, in Phase 4, you will be exercising more and at a higher level; therefore you have to drink a minimum of 9 eight-ounce glasses of water each day.
What kind of water? It's all about plain, old-fashioned water. Even though other beverages, such as soda and coffee contain water, they also don't count. Neither do foods that you eat, regardless of whether or not they have high water content. Remember your water requirement is over and above the water that you can from other foods and beverages you consume. While some of these other sources may help you overcome dehydration, their consumption is factored into your overall daily requirement.
You also have to get out of the habit of drinking water only when you're thirsty. Our thirst mechanism is flawed. By the time you experience thirst, your body is already in the state of dehydration. Even when your thirst is satisfied, you still may be dehydrated. It's important to drink water throughout the day, and it's best to drink only 1 or 2 eight-ounce glasses at any given sitting. This will help you to spread your water consumption over the course of the day, rather than drinking your 8 glasses all at once. When you drink large quantities of water all at once, you stimulate your body to rid itself of water. Also, try not to drink your water too late in the evening. Otherwise, you'll find you find yourself waking up throughout the night!
How will you know if you are "Dehydrated"
Some of us still don't drink enough nearly enough water, thus getting dehydrated and be in health problems in the long term. So, I highly suggest you to go and do drink enough water.
It's really bad for our body if we don't drink enough water, we won't believe until we can see symptoms of dehydration in our body.
But of course, if we feel we-we are "thirsty" that means we are already dehydrated. Water lubricates the mucous membranes in our mouths, water makes our mouth wet with the help of saliva that one sip will last,
It is always good to drink water, water will help flush out toxins in our body, most prominently in our liver and kidneys. Water is like the best fuel of a machine, it helps to work the machine properly.
- The amount of water keeps going down as we get older, that is why we should continue drinking water and good to increase the amount of water intake
Sometimes we don't notice the signs of aging but inside our body the insufficient water intake has an effect. If we drink plenty of water, to help have a good relut to our body from inside to outside. So don't forget drinking enough water and increase it as we get older.
Water should be taken enough to help us avoid "joint pains". We do not realise that 80% of our cartiliage and spinal discs are made up of water. Everytime we walk run and jump our bones grinding up against each other, so the only way we can help out body in this process id to keep our body hydrated, we should not let our body dehydrated.
Another very informative article from you@lisaocampo. Thanks for sharing such posts.

That was a very nice comment. Thanks @top5everywhere
Thank you so much for your response @lisaocampo.
Excellent article and very important as summer ia also approaching. I do like to drink carbonated water instead of soft drinks with my lunch meals. I think with smartphones and wearables, one can readily track daily water intake. Hydration is super important. Frankly it also helps me feel energised during the day as compared to days when my water intake is low.
I agree, we need a lot of water to keep our body condition is not dehydrated, especially the recommended drinking water. But in practice we consume more types of coffee drinks and others. Thanks for useful information.
Thanks @lisaocampo

Water is essential not only for weightloss but also for detox. You wont lose weight if your limph system is blocked as the fat wont be able to get out . So I always suggest before any diet or at the start, drink loads of water so that your body can actually expell the fat once you start losing it. I have upvoted you and will be following. I hope I'm not intruding but I think your readers might be interested in reading my post where I offer free nutritional and detox advice for the next week.
