How about being Water-Friendly?

 Today I want to share some facts that I read a long time ago, about an excellent solvent i.e Water.

If someone ever asked you, Why you drink water?

Then we have a very obvious answer,  to quench our thirst. Other  than this, there are some interesting facts about water:

1: Water Intake: on average, a  man should drink 3 litres and a woman should drink 2.5 litres water in a day.

2: Helps Pregnant Woman: Dehydration may induce contractions in pregnant women.

3: Helps in Weight Loss: as water allows the body to metabolise fats more efficiently.

4: Basic Necessity: Water is the main food that the body needs. Research says that an average person can live without food for nearly a month, but cannot survive without water for even a week.

5: Health problems :

A) Tooth Problem: Good water intake prevents cavities and tooth decay. Water helps to produce saliva, which keeps your mouth and teeth clean.

B) Skincare: Keep yourself hydrated as it prevents the skin from sagging

C)  Arthritis: Good hydration can prevent arthritis. With a good intake of water, there will be less friction in your joints, therefore, less chance of developing arthritis.

D)Heart Disease: Drinking enough water every day can help reduce heart disease and cancer.

6.Get Rid of Overeating: Have a glass of water 30 minutes before every meal. Also, avoid drinking water immediately after a meal or during the meal.

 Please keep in mind when we should avoid drinking water :

1) During Workout: Due to workout, your body temperature is high, but as soon as you drink water, your body cools down. It can cause electrolyte depletion. As a result, a person may suffer from headache, nausea and dizziness.

2)Wash Down Spicy Food: You should never drink water after eating hot peppers as the burning sensation is caused by a molecule called capsaicin.

 3)Artificial Sweeteners: Avoid them as they enhance appetite and can lead to weight gain.

4)Before Going to Bed :

A) Drinking water can increase the symptoms of facial and limb swelling in the morning because our kidneys work slower at night in comparison to the daytime.

B) Having water a good while ago before sleeping can possibly result in interrupted sleep (Urinating).

Research says:  2% reduction of water levels in the body can lead to a 20% decrease in mental and physical performance.

 By the time you feel thirsty, don’t let your body lose more than 1%  of its total water. Take a break right now and have a glass of water.

Looking forward to your suggestions !!
