WATER TRACKING

Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O), otherwise known as water, is our most precious resource on earth. This essential "biological solvent" supports all living things and, without it, life as we know it wouldn't exist. This precious resource is often overlooked by most people who do not make the conscious effort of staying properly hydrated. Our bodies are made up of 60-80% water, whereby as little as 15% loss of water from dehydration is FATAL.
 
This polar compound has negatively and positively charged ends allowing it to form relatively strong attractions (intermolecular forces) to other polar molecules such as salts, amino acids, carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acid, etc...
 
Water plays essential roles in your body including protecting your organs and tissues, carrying nutrients and oxygen around your body and to your cells, moistening tissues, lubricating joints, dissolving minerals and nutrients, and flushing out toxins and waste from your body.
 
Most physiological problems can be fixed or avoided by properly hydrating! This includes, but is not limited to, indigestion, organ pains, fatigue, insomnia, migraines, allergies, attention disorders, dizziness, nausea, and much more!!
 
All day, every day, your body is using and losing water for breathing, perspiring, urine, bowel movements, generating energy (respiration), etc.... which is why it's so essential to frequently hydrate.

What are some of the benefits of water?


Drinking water is essential for good health because it helps to maintain the balance of bodily fluids, regulates body temperature, aids digestion, helps to keep skin looking healthy and also helps to flush out toxins. Additionally, staying hydrated can also improve brain function and physical performance. Drinking water is important to replace fluids lost through sweating, and other bodily functions. It is recommended to drink at least 8 cups of water per day to maintain proper hydration.

How Often and How Much Water Should You Drink?

 
You should have water at least once every 2 hours.
 
First thing in the morning, before you've even started your daily routine, you should drink around 2-4 cups (500ml-1L) of water. This helps activate your metabolism and get your body ready and firing for the day. The more water you start your morning with, the better.
 
Even more importantly, starting your day with a cup of coffee is dehydrating and can lead to digestive discomfort and mid-day fatigue, so it is important to properly hydrate alongside your coffee.
