Water World

By: Joseph Simcic

What is it that keeps you going through the hot summer months? What is it that allows you to stay out and about for all hours of the day? What can you do to keep yourself out of harms way during these very balmy days and nights of summer?

Water is one of the most needed components of nutrition. You really need to pay attention to your water intake during the summer months. I know how it is. You get playing at the beach, or going out for drinks, and you forget to drink water through out the day. Next thing you know you are feeling dehydrated, have a headache, or just feel a little on the down side.

Everyone needs water. It is critical. We take water in many forms. We get it through our foods, different drinks, and directly from a bottle or glass. We all know it is important and needed for life, but we forget sometimes to take in enough of it.

Depending on how active you are will depend on how much water you should supplement into your day. Keep in mind that if you are very active, sweating, and possibly exercising, you should keep yourself hydrated by drinking several glasses of water per hour through the day. The more you lose through sweat and activity the better chance you have at becoming dehydrated. We don’t want that to happen.

The best way to stay hydrated is to keep a bottle of water with you where ever you may be going. Keep a bottle in the car. Keep a bottle at work. Take a bottle with you to the beach or the gym. Drink it during the day and more than likely you will stave off dehydration and sometimes feelings of hunger.

What does dehydration feel like? You have to recognize it. Some of the things you can look for are a mild to strong thirst, dry mouth, maybe a headache. You could feel things like tiredness and even dizziness. If you feel these things you may want to start by drinking a glass or two of water. They may help. Of course if these things persist, you also might want to check with a doctor.

Water is good for you. It keeps you hydrated, feeling fresh, and helps prevent certain ailments. Water is abundant and usually pretty easy to come by. Keep it close to you in your travels and daily activities. You may feel better drinking a little more water during the day. Good health to you this summer and always.

Always check with a physician before starting a supplementation or diet plan.
