To keep your body full of energy and performing at its best, good hydration is essential
We all need around two litres of fluid a day to keep our bodies
properly hydrated. Water is the medium in which most of body
processes take place, and makes up about two thirds of body
weight. We lose it via breath, sweat and urine.
The recommended daily two litres of fluid should come from
water, plain or flavoured. We also
get approximately half a litre from food eaten each day, about a
quarter of daily needs, mostly from fruit and vegetables. Of
course, alternatives to water do tend to have more calories, so
it makes sense to get at least some of our daily fluid needs
from water. Also, some studies have indicated that drinking
plenty of water is beneficial to the immune system; good for the
skin; alleviates constipation and can reduce the risk of kidney
stones.
Dehydration can make you feel tired and lethargic, and will
decrease your capacity for exercise. Extra fluid is needed in
hot weather and when you exercise. For each hour of exercise you
should drink an extra litre of fluid. If you have an illness
that is causing sickness, diarrhoea or sweating, you will need
to up your fluid intake to make up for the extra loss.
Making sure you are properly hydrated is an important part of
general wellbeing - both feeling and looking good - drink up!
