Healthy Living with Water - The Clear Choice For Your Body

Where there’s water, there’s life. Every system of the body depends on water for survival. Water regulates body temperature and delivers oxygen and nutrients to the entire body. In addition, water is crucial for helping the kidneys remove bodily waste. Water even plays an important role at the cellular level by acting as the catalyst for bodily chemical reactions.
Water can also aid in weight loss. Not only will drinking water before and during your meal help you feel full, water can also help provide energy without calories and is never stored as body fat. Even better, water is very important for fitness. When you exert yourself, you tire more easily, your stamina is reduced and your muscles begin to struggle because your body needs its most important ingredient, water. Properly hydrated, your body can function at its peak. For more information, check out our hydration information.

With such busy lives, it may be difficult to drink enough water everyday. The Nutrition Information Center at The New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center offers the following easy tips for maintaining proper hydration:

• Make water your preferred beverage
• Drink chilled water for improved taste.
• Drink at the same times each day
• Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink water. By the time you feel thirsty, you probably have already lost two or more cups of your total body fluids.
• Develop a “hydration habit” by having a glass of water when you wake up, one with each meal and one at bedtime.
• Convenience is also the key to staying properly hydrated, so carry a bottle of water with you as you commute to work, run errands or enjoy a day at the beach.
• Keep single-serve bottles of water in your car, backpack or desk.
• Maintain easy access to water by keeping your refrigerator or cooler well-stocked at home or at the office.
• Take a water break instead of a coffee tea or soda break. Caffeine acts as a diuretic, causing you to lose water through increased urination. Alcoholic beverages have a similar effect.
• Hydrate before, during and after exercise. Don’t underestimate the amount of fluids lost from perspiration.
• At social gatherings, substitute alcohol with water and a twist of lime or lemon
• Choose a bottle of water instead of soft drinks or juice when you're out for lunch or dinner with friends.
• Add a slice of lemon or lime for flavor
• Don’t forget that common maladies such as colds and the flu can frequently lead to dehydration. So, when you’re sick, keep a large bottle of water next to your bed to sip it throughout the day without having to get up.
• Check your urine to make sure you’re getting enough water. You should urinate every two to three hours during the day, and it should be clear to pale yellow in color.
