water glass 200x156 Water   The potion of vitalityJust take a look around you an see that everything is made out of water. Everything contains less or more water. The surface of the world is 70% cover with water, our body’s are made of 70% water and if we drop only 1 or 2% of our body-water we can die. You can resist 7 days or longer without food but without water you’re dead in 2 days or less. Why am I writing down all of this? Well, it is very simple. Water is a primary source of life, but nowadays people forgot how to use it wisly.

What does that mean? Well water was replaced with all kinds of chemicals starting sodas, coffee and ending with alcohol. Let me tell you some benefits that you get from drinking water. Well, first of all you will have more energy and fell more relieved. You will have a clear mind and you will be able to concentrate for a longer period of time. Your body will be clean, you will have less toxins in you.

Now let me explain what is bad with coffee, sodas and energy drinks that are supposed to give you energy. Well, first of all your body needs huge ammounts of energy to get through a normal day in our times. When you drink sodas you actually think that you calm your thrist and you get liquids into your body. Well my friends, that’s a wrong concept. Why do you get thirsty shortly after drinking soda? The answer is simple. The more you drink the less energy you have and the more water your body needs to eliminated that soda. Yes, you’ve read corectly, your body needs water to eliminate soda.

Now a bigger problem comes with coffee and energy drinks. You ofter have the feeling that coffee and energy drinks actualy give you energy, but this is also a misunderstood concept. What coffe actualy does is it taks the small ammount of your resources, well, those left atleast, and consumes them faster that way giving you the feeling that you have more energy. But this energy runs out very fast and then what do you do? You go for another coffee. And again and again untill you’ve finished your job and then when you get home you fall right into your bed. And antoher bad thing is that your body also need water to eliminate the coffee. Besides other negative effects of the coffe and energy drinks, they attack the liver (specially the energy drinks, because they have a compound called taurine, that the human body secrets naturaly).

How much water do you actually need and how to drink it?

The ammount of water that the body needs differs from person to person. In general 2 or 2 and a half litters a day is enough for a normal person. Sportsman should drink more and the ammount differs taking in consideration the climate of the zone that you live in.

How you should drink water?
First of all you should try drinking water in the morning when you wake up. Try drinking 500ml of water before having breakfast. Why is that? Because when you sleep your body dehydrates so in the morining you need some water to replace the one lost during the night time. And second thing if you drink this water you start your stomach digestion so it will be easier for you to process food.
During any meal you shouldn’t drink anything because it will affect the digestion. After the meal you should wait 30 min and then drink water. This will offer you a plesant feeling and won’t affect the digestion this way the food will be processed entirely.

For sportsman. You should try avoiding drinking water during the training except in the dry or hot season and when you do that try drinking small ammounts and try doing it slow. After the training you should drink enough water to replace the lost quantity but also try doing slow to avoid stomach cramps.
