Make your body and mind perform in a balanced way during the day.
Water equals more than half of your body weight, which means that all cells, tissues and organs need it to function properly. That is why staying hydrated will make your body functions optimize and as a result you will feel better, which will allow you to fully develop to carry out whatever you think during the day.
According to the specialist Antonio Herbert Lancha of the University of Sao Paulo, when the body is poorly hydrated, you are more prone to get sick. In addition, good hydration is essential to promote the proper functioning of the muscles and even weight loss when you eat a diet.
However, the benefits of drinking water correctly will not only be reflected in your physical activities, because intellectual performance can also be affected by poor hydration.
According to the EFSA Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies, our brain is composed of 83% water, therefore it is logical that dehydration can have a negative impact on cognitive functions. Some of the main effects can be reflected in your level of fatigue, response time for decision making, short and long term memory, attention, analytical / mathematical thinking. In addition, being hydrated will make you have a better attitude and vitality to achieve all the goals you want to achieve.
For all the above, we give you some simple strategies that will help you stay hydrated throughout the day so you can carry out everything you set your mind to:
1. Drink between 2 and 3 liters of liquid distributed throughout the day
2. If you are one of those who easily forget to drink water, try to always have a bottle of water by your side, no matter if you are not thirsty, having it in front of you will inevitably end up drinking it little by little and that way you will be hydrating constantly.
3. Analyze what you will do during the day and based on it determine the amount of liquid you should drink, that is, if you plan to spend all day outdoors and exposed to the sun, try to load with a bottle of water to constantly hydrate
4. If you carry out any physical activity, it is logical that you should increase your fluid intake. The same if you are a person who sweats regularly
5. Avoid going out at times where the heat is at maximum. From 12 to 4 pm the ideal is to remain in the shade or in cool and ventilated places, especially during the summer
6. Limit alcohol intake. Although a beer always falls well in the heat, alcohol has an inverse effect and you can dehydrate more quickly.
7. Do not wait to be thirsty to drink water during the winter, because when you are thirsty you are already slightly dehydrated. It is important that you continue doing it as regularly as you would in summer. Opt for teas and other hot drinks, it will be easier for you during that time of the year.
