IMPORTANT FACTS ON DRINKING WATER
Eish 2 O IS A GO! DRINK UP
1. DON’T FEEL THE THIRST: Despite the popular sprite slogan, by the time you feel thirsty, you have already lost about 1 percent of your total body’s water. So don’t wait until you feel the thirst to obey the thirst, rather stay hydrated. SO... STOP READING, TAKE A BREAK, GET UP AND DRINK A GLASS OF H2O, I’ll wait for you till the next tip...
2. LOOK GOOD, FEEL GOOD AND OPTIMIZE THOSE MUSCLES Re-energized? Good, Water keeps your skin looking good and energizes your muscles. Drinking water helps you lose weight as it increases your metabolism, thereby burning calories faster. So never stop drinking water in an effort to lose weight.
3. EASY DOES IT You can’t burn the weight in one workout so if you’ve lost weight directly after intense physical activity that is weight lost from water, not fat. So stay hydrated when exercising. And small increments of weight loss is the healthy and most effective way to lose weight and keep it off. Men should drink about 3 liters (13 cups) of total beverages a day and women is 2.2 liters (9 cups) a day
4. CONSTIPATED? Drink more
Water Helps Your Kidneys and Helps Maintain Normal Bowel Function.About 70 percent of an adult’s body is made up of water
5. CRAVING CAFFEINE
Fizzy drinks, coffee, and even tea, although made up mostly of water, also contain the dreaded “C” word... caffeine. Caffeine can act as a mild diuretic, meaning it prevents water absorption thereby stopping it from travelling to necessary locations in the body.
