Why How And WhenTo Take Water.

Water is the most important nutrient for human bodies. Every activity in human body requires water. Human being can survive for seven weeks without food, but cannot survive more than five days without water.

Water is very important for body temperature regulation, nutrient transportation and supply of oxygen to the human cells. Waste removal in the body cannot happen without water. Water cushions the joints and protects organs and tissues.

Many people live in a mildly dehydrated state, most probably because they don?t like the taste of water or they never knew the importance of water. Majority of these individuals do not know that their bodies loose about two quarts of water a day through perspiration, urination, and exhaustion. Consequently, they suffer one thing or the other. If they are not having headaches, they are either having joint pains or heart burn. In any of these cases, their body is just demanding water. Drinking sufficient amount of the right type of water will go a long way in improving human health than any other thing else.

How much water do we need and how often do we need them.

We have to first of all consider the amount of water in our body naturally, from there, we can imagine how much of it we need and how often we need to be taken them.

Water constitutes about 70% of the human body. The following human parts/ organs has the corresponding percentage of water: Brain cells = 75% water, blood = 82%, bones = 25%. These been the case, its been opined that in order to determine how much water we need, we have to take our body weight in pounds, and divide it by two. This would amount to two or three quarts a day. Accordingly, a person weighing 120 pounds would need 60 ounces of water while 220 pounds would need 110 ounces.

Some persons may find it hard consuming that amount of water all in liquid form. To these group of individuals, it is advised that they can achieve that simply by eating lots of fruits and vegetables. Foods such as apples have 80% water; bananas, 70% water; lettuce, 95%; tomatoes and water melons have more than 90% water. Whenever a person consumes starchy food like bread, that person would need to drink more water than is recommended above.

When to drink water.

We don?t need to wait until we become tasty or eat meals before we can take water. As a matter of fact, too much taking of water during meal washes away hydrochloric acid, digestive and enzymes in human stomach and intestine, and as such, delays digestion. Research has also shown that fluids and ice drinks quenches the digestive process. However, one can drink some water while eating but not much because it is not good to target meal time as the time to get most of our fluids.

If it is possible, we ought to take 8 to 16 ounces of water about 30 minutes before breakfast. Take another 8 to 16 ounces some hours after breakfast. Then 30 minutes before lunch (if it is not your major meal), take a glass of water. Take 16 to 24 ounces before your biggest meal whether lunch or dinner. Two hour after dinner, take another 8 ounces and another before you finally go to bed. However, do not adhere to the last if you suffer from hiatal hernaia, reflux disease, enlarged prostate or frequent urination at night. In any of these cases, one doesn't need to drink anything after dinner.
