DRINK H2O

"जलं जीवनम् अस्ति "

As we all know that water is an essential part of our life and we also know that drinking water keeps the body toxin free.

An average person loses 3 to 4 liters of fluid in a day .The factors contributing for losing water from the body are sweat, urine, breathing and bowel movements. Proper hydration is essential for good health. You need to make up for the water losses by consuming sufficient water. It is said that hiccups is a symptom that indicates water level is low in the system. Grab a glass of water and yes…you have put a stop to the hiccup.

How much water should you drink? Forget the simple math — eight glasses a day isn’t the answer. And forget the complicated math, too — half your body weight in ounces isn’t right, either. In fact, there’s no formula that gives you the magic number for hydration.

“It’s really dependent on your individual needs,” said Tyler Florek, a registered dietitian nutritionist at Banner Health.

How many calories you eat, how much you weigh, how active you are and what health requirements you have all play into how much water you need to drink. Florek said that instead of measuring cups or ounces of water, look to your urine to tell if you’re drinking enough. Your urine should be light yellow and almost odorless.

Dark yellow urine with a strong odor means you aren’t getting enough water. If you aren’t drinking enough water, you might also notice signs such as fatigue or headaches.

Ayurveda endorses the fact that drinking warm water prior to bedtime will relieve all toxins in the body. A glass of warm water is the secret to good health and clear skin.

Warm water is nature’s most powerful home remedy and minimizes digestive problems. Sipping warm water stimulates good digestion and circulation, and cleanses the bowels. It also encourages sweating which cleanses the lymphatic system and improves complexion. Warm water flushes the urinary tract, ridding the body of unwanted toxins.

Health benefits of warm or hot water:

1- Cleansing and purifying body

2- Cures constipation

3- Help in weight loss

4- Good for cold and cough

5- Improves blood circulation

6- Reduces body pain

You can have a glass of warm water in the morning with a piece of lemon, a pinch of salt, and a small slice of ginger. Along with all of the normal health benefits of drinking water, having a glass of warm water before you go to bed each night can have a big and positive effect on your lifestyle.

Thankyou😊
