10 Life Changing Reasons To Drink More Water

Posted by Monday, 26 December 2016

Assalamualaikum wr,wb

 Has it occurred to you today that you are thirsty?

Your body is composed of roughly 60% water. That means when we are dehydrated and most of us spend our days constantly dehydrated to some degree-we are affecting the performance of the majority of our body. Nearly all off systems do not function as well without the proper water intake.

So, What does this mean? Why should we drink more water?
  • If you don't drink water, you will die. It's that important. Depending on our environment, we can live only a few days without water, maybe a week. We can live much longer without food. For most of us, we should prioritize the consumption of water far more than we currently do.
  • Prevent cancer. Yes, that's right! various research says staying hydrated can reduce risk of colon cancer by 45%, bladder cancer by 50%, and possibly reduce breast cancer risk as well.
  • Be less cranky. Research says dehydration can affect your mood and make you grumpy and confused. think clearer and be happier by drinking more water.
  • Perform better. Proper hydration contributes to increased athletic performance. Water composes 75% of our muscle tissue! Dehydration can lead to weakness, fatigue, dizziness, and electrolyte imbalance.
  • Lose weight. Sometimes 
    we think we are hungry, when actually we are thirsty. Our body just starts turning on all the alarms when we ignore it. For those of you trying to drop some pounds, staying hydrated can serve as an appetite suppressant and help with weight loss.
  • Have less joint pain. Drinking water can reduce pain in your joints by keeping the cartilage soft and hydrated. This is actually how glucosamine helps reduce joint pain, by aiding in cartilage’s absorption of water.
  • Flush out waste and bacteria. Our digestive system needs water to function properly. Waste is flushed out in the form of urine and sweat. If we don't drink water, we don't flush out waste and it collects in our body causing a myriad of problems. Also combined with fiber, water can cure constipation.
  • Prevent headaches. Sometimes headaches can be caused by dehydration, so drinking water can prevent or alleviate that nasty head pain. Next time your head hurts, try drinking water.
  • Make your skin glow. Our skin is the largest organ in our body. Regular and plentiful water consumption can improve the color and texture of your skin by keeping it building new cells properly. Drinking water also helps the skin do it's job of regulating the body's temperature through sweating.
  • Feed your body. Water is essential for the proper circulation of nutrients in the body. Water serves at the body’s transportation system and when we are dehydrated things just can’t get around as well. 
Quick rules of thumb for drinking water:
  • Drink half your body weight in ounces of water (if you weight 160lbs, drink 80oz of water each day).
  • Carry a bottle everywhere with you as a reminder to keep drinking.
  • Eat raw fruits and vegetables – they are dense in water. You can get water from food, not just from beverages.
  • Drink water and other fluids until you urinate frequently and with light color.

7 Ways to Make Water Taste Better

Posted by Friday, 23 December 2016

Assalamualaikum Wr,wb


Simple tips for livening up your drinking water.-Not every body has a taste for water, but we all need it to ensure that our bodies continue functioning properly. If you want to drink more water, but aren't crazy about the taste (or lack thereof), here are some tips that can make it more enjoyable:

1. Add fresh fruit. Citrus fruits, such lemons, limes, and oranges, are classic water enhancers, but other fruit flavors might also tempt your body buds. Try crushing fresh raspberries or watermelon into your water, or adding strawberry slices. Cucumber and fresh mint are refreshing flavors as well - especially in summer.

2. Use Juice. Any fruit juice can be a good base flavor for water, but tart juices, like cranberry, pomegranate, grape and apple, are especially delicious. go for juices that are all natural, with no added sugars. And remember: Fruits and their juices don't just taste good - they contain vitamins and antioxidants that can benefit your health too.

3. Make it bubbly. Many people prefer sparkling to still water. if plain old water isn't inspiring to you, try a naturally effervescent mineral water. you can add fresh fruit or natural juice flavors to your seltzer, as suggested above, or look for naturally flavored seltzer maker for your home.

4. Get Creative with ICE. Some say that ice water tastes better than water served at room temperature. if that so, flavored ice cubes may make an even better drink. Use some of the flavoring suggestions above and start experimenting with fresh fruit, mint, or cucumber ice water, then freeze. You may also consider juice, tea, or coffee cubes. If you want to be more creative, use ice cube trays that come in fun shapes, like stars, circles, or even fish.

5. Drink Tea. Herbal, fruit, green and red teas are generally considered to be better for you than black teas (or coffee, for that matter) because they contain little to no caffeine. And there countless flavors of these teas to choose from. Start with the selection at your local market or health food store. If you're interested in pursuing more exotic flavors and sophisticated teas, start researching the vast array of specialty teas that come from all parts of the globe.

6. Try bouillons, broths, and consommes. If your palate leans toward the savory, you may pass on tea and start sipping one of these hot and savory liquids instead. Choose low-fat and low-sodium versions for maximum health benefits. because soup is water based, a cup of hot soup will count toward your daily fluid consumption.

7. Add fast flavors. If you're looking  for a quick-and-easy flavor booster, you might also consider sugar-free drink mixes, and flavors cartridges that can be used with your faucet filter system.
