Drinking
at least two 8-ounce glasses of water before breakfast, lunch, and
dinner while also cutting back on portions may help you lose weight and
keep it off for at least a year.
How much water should you drink each day?
It's
a simple question with no easy answers. Studies have produced varying
recommendations over the years, but in truth, your water needs depend on
many factors, including your
a) health,
b) how active you are
c) where you live.
Health benefits of water:
Water
is your body's principal chemical component and makes up about 60
percent of your body weight. Every system in your body depends on water.
For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries
nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose
and throat tissues.
Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a
condition that occurs when you don't have enough water in your body to
carry out normal functions. Even mild dehydration can drain your energy
and make you tired.
How much water do we need?
Every day you
lose water through your breath, perspiration, urine and bowel
movements. For your body to function properly, you must replenish its
water supply by consuming beverages and foods that contain water.
Adequate
intake for average, healthy men is roughly 3 liters (about 13 cups) of
total beverages a day. For women it is 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of
total beverages a day.
If you are more active, you should drink more water.
Drinking too much water can cause a problem
- if
you have any kidney or adrenal problems, or your doctor has you taking
diuretics, you need to consult with your doctor about how much water to
drink each day
- do not drink all of
the water you need per day all at once. Divide the amount you need and
drink several glasses of water throughout the day. This is especially
important if you engage in lots of heavy exercise.
- infants should be given only formula or breast milk unless your pediatrician tells you otherwise.
