The Best 9 Times To Drink Water

How do you feel about drinking
water?
Naturally, you probably drink som
water in the course of a day. Even
if you don’t have a glass of clear
water, you can find more limited
sources of drinking water in
beverages like tea and coffee, and
in foods such as soups and
stews. Did you know that drinking
water could be a lifesaver? Pure,
clean drinking water does much to
keep your body running smoothly
and to guard your health.
Want to drink more water to
benefit your health? Try these tips
for identifying nine times that you
body needs drinking water most.
1. Drink water when you first get
up.
Imagine walking into a dark room
and looking for something. Chance
are you will stumble and maybe
even fall unless you turn on the
light. Or consider starting your car
in sub-zero temperatures and
putting it into gear without waitin
for the engine to warm up. Either
situation can lead to problems or
even disasters.The same is true of
the human body. Without water
to “wake up and turn on” the bod
each day, you may be running on
empty, especially if you skip
breakfast altogether. Have a glass
of cool water right after you wake
up in the morning to tell your bod
it’s time to get started. Like a
gently flowing stream that pushes
along debris and rocks, your
circulatory system needs fluid to
get rid of stubborn free radicals
and residue from burned calories
that were used during the night’s
metabolism. Refresh your system
with a drink of water.
2. Drink water before each meal.
Drinking water before a meal help
you feel fuller, so you may be less
likely to attack your meal like a
starving person. Water helps
prepare the stomach for the food
that will follow, waking up taste
buds on the tongue and
moisturizing the stomach lining so
brittle or acidic foods won’t be
uncomfortable.
Having a glass of water clears your
mouth of dryness or leftover tastes
from earlier dining, drinking, or
smoking in anticipation of the food
that is coming.
3. Drink water with a snack.
Between meals, if you feel hungry,
try some fresh drinking water firs
to see if you are dehydrated.
Sometimes people think they are
hungry when they really are just
thirsty. If you shop at the grocery
store or supermarket while
dehydrated, chances are you are
going to spend more to
subconsciously fill that empty urge
Drinking water before a snack, or
with one, will help you feel full
faster and perhaps eat less, a habi
that could benefit two-thirds of ou
nation that is considered
overweight or obese.
4. Drink water before a workout.
Depending on the temperature,
humidity, and your body’s fluid
levels, you may need one or severa
glasses of water, each about eight
ounces, to arm yourself against
dehydration during an indoor or
outdoor workout.Whether you pla
for a sports team or simply jog for
personal fitness, hydration is
essential to help guard against hea
stroke in warm weather and
frostbite in cold temperatures, as
your body’s circulation plays a
protective role in both seasons.
5. Drink water after a workout.
Following your exercise session,
drink up to replace fluids lost by
sweating and physical labor. Don’t
drink too much too quickly, or you
could induce stomach cramps. But
make sure you drink enough so yo
don’t stay dehydrated.
6. Have water with your
medication, if allowed.
If you are allowed to take water
with your medication, do so. Wate
helps to dissolve the medication an
spread it throughout your digestiv
organs for rapid absorption. Water
prepares the tissues to receive the
substance and put it to work right
away.Water also helps medicine
work its way through your system
and out the other end, which can
be beneficial when you take harsh
medications with side effects.
7. Drink more water to prevent
illness following exposures.
If you are around sick people in th
hospital or at work and school,
drink a little more water than usu
to wash away germs and viruses
that your body may have picked u
from exposure to these people. A
well-hydrated body helps to move
along any invaders before they
settle down and multiply in your
system. Drinking water each day
before or after going out in public
can help to prevent certain types o
viruses, or lessen their severity
8. Drink more water when you’re
ill.
When you do become ill, drink
plenty of fluids—the old-time recip
still works. Most experts
recommend drinking eight glasses
of water each day (eight ounces pe
glass), in addition to other fluids
like tea, juice, and soup.People in
the hospital often have an IV
dripping water into their vein
continuously so they can keep
hydrated as well as maintain a line
to your body if medications are
needed.
9. Have a glass of water when
you’re tired.
Feeling tired? Fatigued? Need a
nap but can’t take one? Have a
glass of water. Because of its abilit
to move quickly throughout the
body, water can reach your brain
and activate it right before a
meeting or other situation where
you need to pay attention. Cold
water, especially, will wake up you
body to keep you alert.
When to stop drinking water.
If you don’t like getting up at nigh
to use the restroom, avoid fluids
two hours before bedtime, and visi
the restroom a couple of times
before you go to bed.
You can keep a glass of drinking
water close to your bed in case yo
wake up thirsty at night, but keep
in mind you might have to get up
and use the restroom before
daybreak.
Drink pure, clean water without
contaminants.
People who live in urban areas tha
have their own water supply may
be able to drink tap water with no
problem.
Others who live in more rural area
and rely on well water or ground
water sometimes decide to purcha
processed water to avoid possible
chemicals in drinking water. They
may also be avoiding pollution fro
farm runoff, industrial landfills, an
other toxic sources of
contamination.
If you don’t buy bottled water, you
can get a filter for your kitchen
faucet that will remove up to 99%
of local contaminants to purify you
drinking water. Contact your local
public health service for a referral
to water testing systems that can
come and check your water as wel
as advise you how to treat it or
take precautions if any are needed
There is no replacement for clear,
pure, natural drinking water. Over
the past few decades, it has gotten
scarcer, with the result that more
and more people are choosing to
buy processed water or installing
filters in their homes.
Water used to be a free or cheap
resource; not so any longer.
Nowadays you have to check the
water for bacteria and toxins befor
you can safely use it in your home
for everyday activities like cooking,
bathing, and cleaning. Don’t take
your water supply for
granted.  Find out if your drinking
water is safe, and if not, what you
can do to make it usable.
