Beyond H20 Tip - How Much Water Should You Drink?
How Much Water Should I Drink?
Although we are exposed to numerous warnings on the news, in newspapers and in magazines about the importance of drinking plenty of water, many people still do not consume the recommended minimum amounts each day. However, if you consider that up to 70% of a person�s body weight is water, the importance of consuming enough water soon becomes obvious.
An increased intake of pure water will enhance virtually every aspect of better health. For years we have been told that we should drink a "minimum" of 8 eight ounce glasses of water each day. If the goal is to maintain a minimum level of health this eight glass rule is correct. If the goal is to achieve an enhanced level of health, we must consume some level of water above our minimum daily needs. The world we live in today is much different than it was 70 years ago when this rule was first published in medical journals. Each day we are exposed to a multitude of toxic chemicals and environmental pollutants that didn't exist 70 years ago. We live more hectic and stressful lifestyles. We consume processed and preserved foods. All these factors require an increased intake of healthy water to offset the damage. Water is the body's only way to flush out toxins and wastes. The following table shows a recommended intake of water for enhanced health.
6 Tips to Help You Drink More Water
If you think you need to be drinking more, here are some tips to increase your fluid intake and reap the benefits of water:
Have a beverage with every snack and meal.
Choose beverages you enjoy; you're likely to drink more liquids if you like the way they taste.
Eat more fruits and vegetables. Their high water content will add to your hydration. About 20% of our fluid intake comes from foods.
Keep a bottle of water with you in your car, at your desk, or in your bag.
Choose beverages that meet your individual needs. If you're watching calories, go for non-caloric beverages or Beyond H2O water.
Keep Beyond H2O water at a moderate temperature. Fluids served at moderate temperatures - temperatures that are neither hot nor cold - tend to be consumed in greater volumes.
