Stay Hydrated for a illness free life

Our body is composed of 75% water. All our bodily activities like digestion, secretion of juices, metabolism, excretion etc are linked to the amount of water available at our body’s disposal. Most of us are unaware of this critical fact and are far away from gaining the benefits of keeping your body well hydrated. Our lifestyle is such that we keep our body immensely dehydrated. The initial step that one needs to take is to make up one’s mind to have 2 liters of water every day. 

As you start this practice the first thing that happens is that your cells which are not used to be fed so much water, simply refuses to absorb the water. They are not used to function with so much water. This is the first challenge that anyone who has decided to have 2 liters of water a day needs to overcome. Because our cells don’t absorb enough water that we now drink, you feel bloated. Many people dislike this symptom and just give up with this immensely helpful goal. Don’t give up! Continue drinking 2 liters a day and in a week or two the bloating will subside and you will feel better. Then your main task is to continue with this practice and not let it stop anytime.

It’s after the first two weeks that you realize the actual distinction between hydration and thirst. You will occasionally sense that your throat is dry inspite of the fact that you have been drinking 2 liters of water a day. This is not because you are thirsty but because you body needs to be hydrated. Since your body is hydrated so well every day, your body’s water conservation system takes a break as all cells receive their required quantity of water freely now.

Now is the time to start experiencing the benefits of our 2 liter a day water practice. You feel that your digestion is normal; adrenaline imbalance is taken care of. You don’t feel nervous often now. Blood circulation is better etc.  You achieve a lot of benefits by this healthy practice. The key is not to give up on this even if you have challenges like commuting, irregular work hours etc. Some people also get bored because you have to ensure you keep water available with you all the time. It’s observed that most people opt out of the practice after the first 2 weeks. They were just a week or 2 away from seeing the immense benefits that this practice can offer.

We all have heard that it’s important to keep our body well hydrated. But no one has got into the exact details of telling the public why that is so. It can bring about so many healthy changes that no other program can do. 

So stay hydrated and stay healthy.
