How much water do you need to drink?

 Filed under: Healthy Eating,Water of Life — Vivienne Quek @ Sep 25th, 2009

Glass of WaterEach day you should drink half of your body weight in ounces. If you weigh 200 pounds, you will have to drink 100 ounces of water a day. BTW, 1 ounce = 0.625 pints or 0.0313 quarts or 0.0296 litres or 0.00296 ml.

Ideally, you are to sip water at an interval of 15-20 minutes . Drink water in the morning, even before you get out of the bed because that’s when you are at your most toxic and dehydrated stage.

Also, drink before eating as it will support your digestive process and make you a little fuller so that you don’t over eat.

Glass of WaterTo know if you are dehydrated, here are 4 tell-tale signs

1. A dry mouth is the last outward sign o dehydration.

2. If you are thirsty, your cells are already severely dehydrated.

3. Your urine is dark or orange colour when you are severely dehydrated.

4. Your urine is yellow when you are somewhat dehydrated.

So, when you are hydrated, your urine is colourless.
