Hydrating
Quality Beats Quantity -- Especially when it comes to drinking WATER
You may have heard the recommendation to drink "at least eight 8-oz glasses of water per day" and while this may or may not be the most optimal amount of water for your body (you might need more)...did you ever stop to ask what's IN your water?
While it's important to drink the appropriate quantity of water (experts now recommend drinking 1 oz of water per 2 lbs of body weight; for example, if you weigh 150 lbs., you would drink at least 75 oz of water per day), it is even more important to ensure that the quality of your water is supporting (not destroying) your body.
You may already know that our bodies are at least 70% water...but did you know that your physical and mental performance can suffer with as little as a 2% water loss? Dehydration can happen easily and (unfortunately) chronic dehydration is common in our society. Some of the signs of dehydration include:
- crankiness, mood swings
- feeling hungry all the time (and therefore eating more than you need, which leads to weight gain or an inability to lose weight)
- loss of muscle tone
- diminished kidney function, which causes toxins to back up
- fatigue
- trouble regulating body temperature
- constipation
- grogginess
- sleep-related problems
- loss of energy, especially later in the day
- dry, itchy skin
- slowed metabolism
- and a general feeling of sluggishness or malaise
Dr. F. Batmanghelidj, author of "You're Not Sick, You're Thirsty!" says "Don't treat thirst with medication." In many cases, physical ailments and chronic disease are the accumulated effects of a long-standing lack of hydration.
