The common mistake of drinking water. How much drinking is enough? Healthy drink water from your water cooler Blacksoil.
Is it possible to drink too much water? It sounds bizarre at first, doesn't it? Is that only possible if you drink a lot of water? Or not?
I used to drink water always and everywhere. When getting up, at work, on the road, at dinner. I thought it was good for my health to drink a few litres of water a day. But is that really so?
1.5 litres of drink per day according to the nutrition centre: truth or myth?
For years we have been advised to drink 1.5 litres per day. Where does that advice come from? That is very unclear, but at least there is no scientific basis for it. And that is a pity because drinking more - or less - than your body needs is not harmless. You have to drink a lot of water to get acute complaints, but drinking a little too much water - or too little - every day can already cause chronic complaints.
Your body tries to maintain a good balance between electrolytes and water in your body. That balance is influenced by all kinds of body processes and by what and how much you eat and drink. With too much fluid you have to urinate, with too little you get thirsty.
Your need for water is very personal and depends on:
- How active you are: if you work up a sweat, you need more water.
- The weather: is it warm and dry? Then you need more water than if it is cool and damp.
- Your diet: if you eat food with a high moisture percentage, such as fruit or soup, you need fewer extra drinks.
There are so many variables that determine how much fluid you need in a day that it makes no sense to translate it into a number of litres that everyone should drink every day.
Drinking plenty of water helps with detoxification: truth or myth?
Your liver is your "detoxification factory". Here waste products are converted into forms that can then be excreted via your bile and kidneys. Drinking more water will not make your liver work better.
If you want to support your liver, make sure it has the substances it needs to render the waste harmless and ready to be excreted. You do that, for example, by ... eating liver! :-)
Speaking of which, proper digestion helps * immensely * detoxify. And an important improvement for your digestion is not to drink too much with your food. Especially not if you suffer from too little stomach acid. Drinking during meals only further dilutes your heartburn and makes it harder to digest your food.
If you're thirsty, you're already dehydrated: truth or myth?
There is no scientific evidence for this. On the contrary, research shows that your body gives off thirst signals well before there is dehydration.
Another myth is that you should drink so much that your pee is completely clear. But that is not necessary, there is nothing wrong with a pale yellow puddle.
In addition to completely clear urine, many people's experiences show that there are a few more signs that you may be drinking too much water. For example, if you get cold hands and feet or if you wake up regularly at night to urinate. What does water do in your body?
How much should you drink from your water cooler Blacksoil?
How much you should drink is very simple: drink when you are thirsty!
It is unwise to think that we can be smarter than Mother Nature. There is a reason for thirst. It is a signal to make clear that more liquids are needed. Listen to that and you will do it perfectly!
Make sure you don't wait to drink filtered water from your water cooler Blacksoil until you don't feel thirsty. That is exaggerated again.
Fatigue is solved by drinking water. Often people are so busy with anything and everything that you miss all kinds of body signals. For example, I have a tendency to keep busy until I have to pee so much that I can run to the toilet. That does not exactly fall into the 'taking good care of yourself category. It is the same with thirst. And listening carefully to your thirst signals is a good exercise and a great first step to taking better care of yourself.
Conclusion: your body knows exactly how much moisture it needs, listen carefully to your signals and drinks exactly what you need in your situation. Just enough, never too much and never too little!
