Answers to frequently asked questions about water and hydration

Every day your body flushes out water through urine, sweat, breathing and other metabolic processes. If you don't drink enough water you will sooner or later begin to experience the symptoms of dehydration - headaches, fatigue and lack of concentration. Chronic dehydration can lead to poor water-salt balance, constipation and kidney stones. This is why a drinking regime is so important.

Is it really necessary to drink eight glasses a day? How much should you drink? How do I make myself drink water and what can I do if I don't like drinking? Can I wash down my food and can coffee/tea make up for the lack of fluids? What can I drink on a diet apart from water? These and other readers' questions are answered in this post.

- It is said that you should drink eight glasses of water daily. Is this true?
Water needs are individual. Eight glasses was invented so that people could increase their water intake in a controlled manner by accustoming themselves to a drinking regimen. Similarly, the norm of 'two litres', although for a petite girl with a sedentary lifestyle, two litres may be a lot, while for a big guy athlete, two litres is too little.

Drinking water requirements are always higher for those who:
- Maintains an active lifestyle or/and works out;
- Are on a diet;
- Live in hot climates.

Body size also matters - larger people need more water. The need for water increases in summer and decreases in winter.

- How do you know what your body size should be?
According to the US Institute of Medicine (IOM), adults living in temperate climates need to drink daily:

- Men: 3.7 litres of fluid from all food sources, not just water;
- Women: 2.7 litres of fluids from all food sources.

To calculate your clean water needs, use the formula: weight in pounds * 0.55 = the right amount of water per day in ounces. This doesn't take into account your workouts, time of year, or goals. When it comes to your norm, it ranges from 2 to 3 litres, increasing in hot weather and on workout days.

- How do you get yourself to drink?
The easiest way is to develop a new habit. For a week, fill a two-litre bottle with water and don't part with it. Remember, you need more water in the morning than in the evening. Unless, of course, you have an evening workout. Over time, you will get used to this amount.

The second way is to drink 1-2 glasses before each meal and remember to drink when you feel thirsty, headache, tired, when you are in a bad mood.

A third way, set a timer or water balance app on your smartphone to establish a drinking regime.

- Can tea/coffee and other drinks make up for the lack of water?
Coffee and some types of tea without sugar or additives, yes, because they have no calories. But juice, borscht, porridge, fruit and some vegetables do not, because they contain water, but they are not water. They will help to compensate for the lack of liquid, but will not compensate for the lack of clean water. Author Ekaterina Golovina Foods provide about 20% of your total fluid needs. It is important to understand that food and drink are solutions, water is a solvent. Cells need water, not smoothies. In addition, drinks and foods contain calories, and if you're on a diet, quenching your thirst with kefir is not the best option.

- Can I drink it with a meal or/and right afterwards?
The myth that you can't drink with food and/or right after a meal has no scientific basis. On the contrary, your body needs water to digest and digest your food. It improves the transport of food through the oesophagus to the stomach, helps to digest large chunks of food and makes it easier for enzymes and acids to reach the food. Drink whenever you want.

- What can I drink on a diet apart from water?
Whatever you want, as long as these drinks fit into your calorie and GI needs. However, remember that liquid calories are better and easier to digest. While eating solid foods wastes calories for your body to digest them, liquids do not. Abusing liquid calories on a diet can have a negative impact on the rate of weight loss.

You can make water tastier by adding lemon, mint or berries to it. You can safely drink tea, herbal concoction and coffee. They have no calories as long as you drink these drinks without sugar or additives.

- Is it true that coffee has a diuretic effect?
No. That's a common myth, which Dr. Lawrence Armstrong of the University of Connecticut disproved in his study. His study showed that the diuretic effect of drinking coffee is the same as that of water. So coffee does not cause dehydration, and to date there is no scientific evidence to the contrary.

NECK PAIN? HOW CERVICAL OSTEOCHONDROSIS AFFECTS OUR CONDITION.

Initially, the bones and ligaments undergo changes. Our body signals this by occasional pain or impaired sensation in the area affected by osteochondrosis. Subsequently, cracks or fractures occur, the disc height changes, and the muscle and ligament attachment points of the two neighbouring vertebrae become closer together.

Consequently, the muscles and ligaments sag and the vertebrae can easily slip or shift in relation to one another. Then more serious symptoms are added to the pain: the fact is that the upper part of the vertebral column contains arteries that feed the cerebellum, vestibular system and important centres at the base of the brain, in addition to nerves.

Deformed vertebrae squeeze the arteries and cut off the oxygen supply to the brain and cause intermittent dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, etc. If a nerve gets in the way of the disc, a characteristic pain occurs. This can be felt in the hand and sometimes in individual fingers of the hand. At times they may even lose sensation.

If you do not sound the alarm even at this stage of osteochondrosis development, you will automatically become a client of neurosurgeons. Wouldn't it be easier to engage in prevention of osteochondrosis in time or try to rectify the situation at an early stage of change?

9 motivational habits ✔

Save it so you don't lose it 📌

☀ Early birding.
All successful people are early risers. There's something special and magical about an early rise. This part of the day, when the world is still awake, is the most important and inspiring. Those who get up before sunrise claim their lives have been fulfilled. Try getting up early too and after a month or two, you will regretfully remember the years when you woke up in bed.

Engaging in reading
If you spend an hour sitting in front of the television or your computer every day, you become the smartest person around. You will find answers to questions quicker, you will be more interesting to communicate with and you will be able to do many things by yourself. As Mark Twain said: "A man who doesn't read good books has no advantage over a man who can't read.

☀ Simplify
Simplification is the elimination of unnecessary and useless things. You must know how to simplify everything that can and should be simplified. Although it takes a long time to practice, in the end it gives a positive result. Your memory and feelings are cleared, you are less anxious and nervous. The simpler your life, the more you will be able to enjoy it.

☀ Slowing down
Enjoying life under constant stress and chaos is impossible. Take time for yourself, stop and listen to yourself and your inner voice. Pay attention to everything that matters to you. Make it a habit to wake up early, when it's quiet, to meditate, to reflect, to create. Slow down and whatever you are chasing will catch up with you.

Exercise.
Staying active regularly keeps you fit. If you don't have time to exercise now, you will sooner or later do so in order to stay fit. You can do sports not only at the gym, but also at home.

Practise every day.
The more you practise, the luckier you will be. Luck is where practice meets opportunity. Without practice, you cannot express your talent. By practising, you will always be ready to use the opportunity to show your talent.

☀ The environment
It's the habit that can speed up your success. Surround yourself with positive, energetic people. They are the best support, motivation and helpful advice. Socialising with friends can lift you up in times of depression.

Start a gratitude journal.
This is a habit that can work wonders. Give thanks for all that you have and strive to do better. Gratitude fosters new reasons for joy. Before you go to sleep, write down one thing you are thankful for. Miracles do not wait long!

☀ Be persistent.
Edison tried 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb. Walt Disney had to listen to 303 rejections from various banks before he got his wish. 134 publishers rejected J. Canfield and Mark W. Hansen's Chicken Soup for the Soul before it became a global bestseller. Do you sense a pattern? If you want to get what you want, be persistent and don't give up!

How do you get into healthy habits?

PP is not a temporary measure, but your permanent way of life. But how do you make the transition to a healthy lifestyle? The first step is to find out: "Why do I want to be slim and energetic?"

Your health depends on harmony. And if you surround yourself every day with people who irritate you, exhaust you and cause negative emotions, getting healthy will not be easy.

Create an image of your ideal self down to the smallest detail. But within your limits, so that you know what you want to achieve. Next, love your idea with all your heart and then implement it.

Know exactly what you need it for. Also, don't try to repeat someone else's path. Everyone's path is different. And that's okay, we're different. Don't compare yourself to others. Don't try to do everything at once in a short period of time.

Quick results are not good for your health, and it's stressful for your psyche. Don't be afraid to slip up and start all over again.

The muzzle-up dog pose

I think everyone knows this pose very well. But did you know that not only does it improve the flexibility of the spine, but it also helps stretch the abdominal muscles, which tones them?

The muzzle-up dog pose also strengthens the abdomen by keeping the body weighted down. This is a great posture for improving posture. Do it as often as possible.

Lie down on your stomach, resting on your palms and feet. Lift your body up, lifting your chest and stomach off the floor first, then your pelvis. Bend backwards, but do not throw your head back. Keep your body weight down, leaning only on your toes and palms.

Try to stand like this for two minutes, so that your body feels the pressure. If you can't do it, do two one-minute sets.

The weight loss section of skipping rope or any other tool at hand is becoming more and more popular. Everyone already understands that the diet alone, without exercise, dramatically lose weight is unlikely to succeed, and a busy woman at work or home does not always have time to go to the fitness centre or the pool. Such a simple thing as a rope, will help you solve this problem and lose weight better and faster. Plus, it will make your legs slimmer, help you get rid of cellulite and do a lot more good.

We're going to tell you how to lose weight with a jump rope.

Probably in your house somewhere zavaloalovali from Soviet times. So, find it, or buy a new one, and organize your own home fitness centre for beginners. And be sure that the rope will help you lose weight no worse than popular diets for weight loss, because the energy consumption exercise with a rope is superior in results to jogging, for which you still need to choose the time and place, and the weather can let you down. In contrast, jumping rope can be enjoyed at home whenever you have a spare moment. In addition, cardiologists believe that this unique and simple piece of fitness equipment is as effective as expensive cardio machines. As for losing weight directly, jumping rope can burn 200 kcal in 15 minutes at an intensity of about 100 hops per minute, that is, you will see a gradual weight loss even at the average pace available to people who are overweight.

Another very important fact about jump rope weight loss is that it is much more effective than other methods when it comes to losing weight in the legs and thighs. It is ideal when it is combined with a rope and exercise bike, but if the latter is not available, you will still notice weight loss in legs and thighs, increased muscle tone and muscle density in the first two weeks of exercise.

Let's also note that the rope not only promotes weight loss, but also has a very beneficial effect on health: it stimulates the cardiovascular and muscular systems, detoxifies the body, eliminates congestion in the leg veins, which is a good prevention of varicose veins. So, in addition to mastering a new method of losing weight, during the exercise with jump rope your body will gradually come to tone up, and your mood will rise. And if you drink green tea or herbs for weight loss after skipping, the effect will increase even more.

Before you start training with the rope, choose a length that suits your height. Then it will be easier and clearer to work with the rope, the load will be higher, and you will lose weight faster. Skipping rope length 210cm corresponds to height up to 152cm, 250cm - height 152-167cm, 280cm - height 167-183cm, 310cm - height over 183cm.Losing weight with rope - method
Jumping rope exercises should be started with the simplest jumps. Ideally, jumping rope should be low, and only the legs, forearms and wrists should be involved in the jump, and the torso should be fixed in a certain position. Then you will lose weight correctly, because the main load will be on the problem areas. If you fail - do not despair, you will come to this gradually. The first jumps should be at a relaxed pace, which you should gradually increase. Just 10 minutes a day with a jump rope, combined with a balanced diet, sometimes a day of unloading, and you will forget about the extra pounds forever. As for additional diets for weight loss, it is better to consult a nutritionist, especially if you are sitting on a strict diet, because the rope is a load, and strict diets and so take a lot of strength from the body.

By the way, as soon as you start skipping rope at home, you can tell people around you that you are skipping, which is the scientific name for skipping classes.

BODY DRYING FOR GIRLS

Drying is the burning of subcutaneous fat by reducing calorie intake, otherwise known as carbohydrate starvation. Fat is burned and muscle mass stays in place. This kind of weight loss is used by bodybuilders and pro athletes, as it helps build body definition. But how can you avoid stress? It's easy - you just have to take the right approach to lean bodybuilding and you won't have any problems. People who have tried all the pleasures of drying off claim that it's good enough for the body. You should put an emphasis on aerobic exercise: running, rollerblading, cycling and so on.

If you think that 'drying' is about getting rid of excess fluid in the body, you are very much mistaken. Drying implies active fat loss. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for our body. The hormone insulin is needed to metabolise a simple carbohydrate like glucose. But if there is an excess of glucose, it does not mean that more insulin is produced. This hormone is produced in the same amount, and the remaining glucose tends to be stored in muscle tissue and the liver in the form of glycogen. In excess (as a result of overeating) it is converted into fat. In an artificial glucose deficit (refusal of sweets), the body will switch to breakdown of immediate stores - i.e. fat deposits will be consumed. This is the most difficult process in the body and requires a lot of energy.

More often than not, when the body stops working on breaking down fat, a small part of the reserves remains - the ketone bodies - resulting in ketoacidosis. In this case, you need to take in some carbohydrates to dissolve both ketones and glucose. Conclusion: you should not give up sweets altogether.

Hint: drying is not done unless you have gained a certain amount of muscle mass!!!

There are a few basic rules that you need to
to follow in order to achieve the desired effect:

Maintain your metabolism by means of split meals;
Drink at least 2.5 litres of clean water per day;
Do not eat porridges in the evening;
Count calories and reduce their intake;
Do not eat 2 hours before and 2 hours after your workout.

In the first stage you should completely forget about carbohydrate foods. In order to avoid stressing your body, you should do this in a gradual way. For example, eat carbohydrate and fat-containing food exclusively for breakfast, and something light for dinner. As you have already understood - such a diet is based on easily digestible protein.

What is the right diet for women on a dry run?

Ration in this case should be quite strict. Remember and strictly follow the rules, otherwise all your efforts will be in vain! The refusal of the following list of products will be of great benefit to the body, because they are useful only in small quantities and at a rare reception. So, you should forget:

Sweets (any) - replace them with fruit and honey;
Flour products - replace them with porridges (not more than 200 g);
Dairy fats;
Animal
Exercises for girls to help dry your body.

Pay attention to your problem areas - some have arms, some have hips and buttocks, some have no abs... And do exactly what you need. But remember one thing - several approaches without rest or with a break of no more than 1 minute.

Running;
Cycling;
Squats (also with loads);
Push-ups (as well as vertical presses from the wall);
Plank;
Leg swings (horizontal and vertical position); Swimming and so on.

In other words, any active sport or leisure activity. Drying without interruptions for 5 weeks gives excellent results. Control the diet after the drying - long-lasting and persistent effect. Keep in shape, but before resorting to this method of weight loss, read the contraindications: it is pregnancy, breastfeeding, diabetes, kidney, gastrointestinal and liver diseases.

Good luck and excellent results!
