Water is the Best Drink for Health

Doctors have always stressed on the fact to keep hydrated water is the best option for your health. When you traditionally follow the eight to ten glass water rule, it’s best to consume water every hour of the day.  Cold water becomes a good option to not only quench your thirst, but to also cool you down, especially if you reside in hot places or just generally perspire a lot. When you feel all heated up and dehydrated after a heavy workout or an intense cardio session, it’s best to drink some cold water. It helps bring down your body temperature immediately.  Drinking water plenty of water ensures low levels of constipation.

Health Benefits of Drinking Cold Water

So what are the health benefits of drinking cold water?  While most of us already know the health benefits of drinking water what few realize is there are health benefits to drinking cold water.  One health benefit of cold water is its ability to help you lose weight and burn calories.  It has been medically proven that your body tends to burn more energy, when cold water is being consumed.  Calories are burned when your body has to heat up the water to normal body temperature.  By drinking cold water your metabolism is increased.  The amount of calories your body burns to heat up one glass of ice cold water is minimal.  However, this can add up if you drink multiple glasses of ice-cold water throughout the day.

Health Benefits of Cold Water Therapy

Outside of just drinking cold water studies have shown that there are health benefits from taking a cold water shower.  Cold water therapy has been embraced around the world and been practiced by many Indians all over.  The health benefit that comes from cold water therapy is that your body gains resilience through managed stress.  Simply put, by exposing your body to managed routine stress like cold water, intermittent fasting, or intense exercise increases your bodies overall health.  Cold water therapy has been around in India for a long time.  The ancient Indian term for very cold showers is ishnan.  It is said, that this cold water therapy helps keep your body young and healthy.

We will still need our 8 cups of refreshing water every day. Here are some refreshing ways to stay hydrated during this Autumn and keep your brain focus on class.

As we have discussed before, disposable water bottles are not environment friendly so they are a terrible decision, long term speaking, to drink the water you need every week. 

Recommendation: Get your own non-disposable water bottle and take it where you need to.

What's so bad about disposable water bottles

“Reuse of plastic water bottles can lead to bacterial contamination unless washed regularly,” which entails washing the bottle with mild soap, rinsing it well (but not with extremely hot water) and making sure there is no “physical breakdown prior to use”.

In a 2002 study, were took 76 samples of water from water bottles of elementary school students; some of the bottles were reused for months on end without being washed. They found that nearly two-thirds of the samples had bacterial levels that exceeded that of drinking water guidelines

In addition to this there are other concerns, such as: 

• Making bottles to meet America’s demand for bottled water uses more than 17 million barrels of oil annually, enough to fuel 1.3 million cars for a year. And that’s not even including the oil used for transportation.
• The recommended eight glasses of water a day, at U.S. tap rates equals about $.49 per year; that same amount of bottled water is about $1,400.
• One water pitcher filter can effectively replace as much as 300 standard 16.9-ounce bottles. So you can get great-tasting water without so much waste. Talk about refreshing.
• In the United States, 24 percent of bottled water sold is either Pepsi’s Aquafina (13 percent of the market) or Coke’s Dasani (11 percent of the market). Both brands are bottled, purified municipal water.
• In the U.S., public water is regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which requires multiple daily tests for bacteria and makes results available to the public. The Food and Drug Administration, which regulates bottled water, only requires weekly testing and does not share its findings with the EPA or the public.

Hydration during breastfeeding

Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding may be at greater risk of developing dehydration particularly during early pregnancy if vomiting or diarrhea is present.

During pregnancy, the hydration needs will change and the child’s health depends on the mother. Water flushes waste products from the cells and aids in liver and kidney function for both mom and the baby.

During pregnancy, water is also needed for the body’s expansion as mom’s blood volume increases significantly. Insufficient fluid intake can be a factor in constipation, preterm labor, and even slight dehydration can cause or contribute to fatigue.

It’s best for lactating mothers to drink mostly water. If you want more variety, flavor the water with a squeeze of lemon or lime or a bit of your favorite juice. Fruit infused water however is a great way to avoid drinking only pure-water. Fruit  servings should be high in vitamin C and folic acid, and one in vitamin A, which is way I recommend these fruits: 
Papaya, Oranges, Grapefruit, Strawberries, Raspberries. 

You may combine Oranges and Grapefruit on an infused water bottle and stay hydrated all day long.
