We should drink enough water throughout the day to keep ourselves hydrated. However there some facts to consider and some cautions when it comes to drinking water:
1. Avoid drinking water immediately before and after meals: It is better to drink water around half hour before a meal & drink half a glass of warm water after meals. This aids in digestion.
2. Too much drinking water can be harmful: Many people tend to believe that bottles and bottles of water are good for health. But if you drink too much plain water, the essential electrolytes of the body get washed out and this can cause trouble with your nerves. Have a glass or two of lemon juice (with salt and sugar etc) or other hydrating drinks like herbal tea in between.
3. Have juicy fruits and veggies: Drinking water is not the only way to keep yourself hydrated. Veggies like cucumber, tomato, green leafy veggies etc and fruits have enough water content and also useful fibre. Make it a habit of having them once or twice during the day.
4. After workouts and massage treatments: It is necessary to hydrate yourself before and after physical exercise and treatments. Herbal drinks are the best for this as they have essential salts and herbs.
Remember, too much of anything can be harmful, even something as innocent as drinking water.
Stay Healthy!
