Water - The Beverage Your Body Needs Most

Drinking water is so important for good health. But do you know how much water you needed in order to be a healthy human being?

Your body is estimated to be about 60 to 70 percent water. Blood is mainly made up water, and your muscles, lungs, and brain all contain a lot of water. Your body needs water to regulate body temperature and to provide the means for nutrients to travel to all your organs. Water also transports oxygen to your cells, removes waste, and protects your joints and organs.

Dehydration

You lose water through urination, respiration, and by sweating. Diuretics such as caffeine pills and alcohol result in the need to drink more water. I believe all of us experience that need for water after drinking coffee or alcohol eh?

Symptoms of mild dehydration include chronic pains in joints and muscles,lower back pain, headaches and constipation. A strong odour to your urine, along with a yellow color indicates that you need to drink more water.

How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

How much water you need really depends on what activities are you doing each day. If you exercise you should drink another approximately 250ml of water for every 20 minutes. If you drink alcohol, you should drink at least an equal amount of water.

Twenty percent of your water need will come from the food you eat. The rest of your water need should come from the beverages you drink. Water is the best choice. Sodas have a lot of sugar and calories in them. Juices are good because they have vitamins and nutrients.

It may be difficult to drink enough water on a busy day. Be sure you have water handy at all times by keeping a bottle for water with you when you are working, traveling, or exercising.

And if you are not sure how much water is enough, just drink more! The excess water will find its way to your bladder. If you get bored with plain water, add a bit of lemon or lime for a touch of flavor.
