Drink Before You WATER IS LIFE! While you may survive for six weeks without food, you won't live longer than a week or so without water. It's the most abundant substance in the human body as well as the most common substance on earth. An average adult body is 70-80% water. Water is found in every cell, tissue and organ and almost every life sustaining body process needs water to function. In healthy people, water intake and water loss balance out. If you consume more than you need, your kidneys simply excrete the extra. To see if you're drinking enough water, check your urine, if it looks yellow or orange you aren't drinking enough water. Almost clear urine means you're drinking enough water. (Keep in mind that certain B Complex Vitamins can stain your urine, but you still have to watch your water intake to see if you are getting enough.) When you don't drink enough water, your body may trigger a sensation of thirst. Although thirst signals the need to drink water, you actually need water long before you become thirsty. This is especially important for seniors, children, and for anyone during illness, hot weather or strenuous physical activity. By waiting until you feel thirsty to drink, probably means that you're already deficient by two or more cups of water. The average adult loses about 10 cups of water daily through perspiration, urination, and bowel movements and breathing. This water needs to be replaced because the body doesn't store an extra supply. How much water the body needs depends on the amount of calories used as well as body weight, level of physical activity, diet, exposure to dry air, pregnancy and illness. If you are trying to loose weight or stop smoking you need to drink about twice as much water, to flush the fat and toxins out of your system. To keep your body well hydrated, drink 8 to 12 cups of water spaced out through the day. Milk, juice and other beverages do NOT count toward your daily water intake. Caffeinated and alcoholic beverages are not the good sources of fluid since caffeine and alcohol are diuretics, causing the body to lose water through increased urination. TIPS TO INCREASE YOUR WATER INTAKE: • Carry a Water Bottle! Fill it with water and keep it handy throughout the day. Drink at least two of these each day. • Do NOT drink water WITH your meals and snacks. That only dilutes the digestive juices and causes undigested food to enter your colon, causing bloating, gas and purification. • Before, during and after any physical activity, DRINK water, especially in hot weather. Drink every 15 to 20 minutes while you exercise. Don't wait until you feel thirsty!! • Add a lemon, or lime slice to alkalize your glass of water.
