Water is probably one of the most essential elements for daily living. It is important for our body to function properly…it flushes out toxins , moists our mucosal membranes in the throat, and helps deliver important nutrients to the different cells in the body. It is actually free and available but are we taking enough?
We lose water from our perspiration and breathing… we also lose at most 1.5 liters from the urine. Together with water from our food , it is estimated that at least 8 cups of water per day should suffice to replenish what is lost daily. Replacement is important because the body will not function properly if water is deprived.
What is an acceptable recommendation as proposed by the Institute of Medicine is the following:
- Men should consume roughly 3 liters per day or 13 cups of water daily
- Women should consume 2.2 liters per day or 9 cups of water daily
So… how many of us are following this guideline? How many think drinking 3 glasses of water a day is enough because anyway one is not thirsty?
Some symptoms that you will feel if you’re not taking enough water include: dizziness, lightheadedness, muscle weakness, dry mouth and headache.
You will also know that you’re taking enough water if you are producing 1-2 liters of colorless or slightly yellowish urine.
My Healthy Practice Tip: drink one glass of water before and after each meal and at bedtime. Plus a couple more in between! That should do the trick.
Drinking Enough Water Can Make A Difference!

I believe this is a wise advise. Instead of the amazing claims of herbal meds to do the cleansing in our body, why not water? It is readily available and proven to be safe!

I have been using Warrior Milk for about 6 months. I tried Muscle Milk and Optimum Nutrition’s proteins but found both too hard on my stomach.Warrior Milk protein doesn’t give me the upset and I like many of their flavors. My absolute favorite is mixing the chocolate and peanut butter flavors. I have had no problems ordering off their website and the products always came quick enough.This protein is really affordable and was a lot cheaper than using Slim Fast shakes which I’ve used in the past. My goal for using the protein was to lose just 5-10 lbs (I was only 130 lbs to start) by replacing meals with the shakes. I have lost 12lbs to date and it was very easy in my opinion because the shakes both taste good and kept me full until my next meal.Try to visit http://www.squidoo.com/whey-protein-supplements if anybody want more info.
