Frequently Asked Questions About Proper Hydration
Worry no more, this page will answer every question you have about proper hydration.
Read through and enjoy: •Why do we need water? Our body is made up of two-thirds of water so it is crucial that we take in enough amount of fluid to keep you hydrated and healthy.
Not enough fluid can make us feel tired, confuse and irritated.
•How much do we need? The amount depends on many things such as the weather, how much physical exercise you do and your age.
Nevertheless, the ideal amount is 1.
2 liters or 6 to 8 glasses of fluid a day.
•Can you drink too much? The answer is somewhere in between.
It is not harmful but it is not helpful either.
•Does it matter which drinks you choose? No offense to water lovers, but you can get hydrated by different sources like tea and coffee, the only problem with these drinks are the calorie and sugar content they have that can eventually harm your teeth and your weight.
Overall, you can be hydrated by these stuff that is if you are not conscious enough about your smile and figure.
Therefore, cheers to the water-lovers, you still have the last laugh.
•Can I drink too much milk? I have nothing against milk because it contains tons of nutrients however, it also contains saturated fat so I would suggest that adults and older children should choose semi-skimmed milk because it has less than 2% fat.
•What about fruit juices and smoothies? A plus point for me, you get water and nutrients so no bad words, but be careful though with artificial juices because they contains tons of sugar and less the fiber which can make you fatter and your teeth less strong.
•Can I drink Soda? I will say yes but limit its consumption because it contains calories and can potentially damage your teeth.
Another problem with soda is it became a substitute to water, which is a ridiculous idea.
•How can you tell if you are getting enough water? One way of knowing it is if we are thirsty, our body has a special mechanism to make sure we are hydrated all day long.
Another way to spot dehydration is through the color of our urine, if the urine is dark yellow then we needed more fluid in the body, the normal color of our urine is pale straw color.
Here you have it.
I hope I have answered all your queries about proper hydration.
Until my next post.
Live life and live it well.
