Water is the most vital element for our life after oxygen. Although we can live for weeks without food; You can survive without water for only a few days. Even a small decrease in body fluid, such as 2%, can cause serious diseases in the long term. We have definitely experienced short-term dehydration symptoms such as headache, muscle cramps, fatigue, inability to concentrate, difficulty focusing and constipation when we are dehydrated.
3/4 of our world and 50-70% of our body is water. In addition, 83% of the blood, 22% of the bones, and 75% of the brain and muscles consist of water. Let's talk about their role in our body and weight maintenance;

In the study of body functions, In the realization of biochemical reactions, in the regular functioning of cells - tissues - organs and systems, in ensuring metabolic balance, in regulating blood pressure, in short; Adequate water intake is very important for the initiation and continuity of growth and body functions.
The body's need for water increases to maintain its normal temperature. In hot and humid weather, the body sweats and increases fluid loss. This is why Consumption must definitely increase during the summer months we are in. With the same logic, since our fluid loss through sweat increases during exercise, we should not experience fluid loss before, during and after exercise! The body's water loss increases, especially when going to high altitudes such as airplane travel and mountain climbing. In order to recover quickly; It is necessary to replace what is lost with warm or hot water flavored with lemon. Speaking of lemon water, I would like to clarify this junk information. Wouldn't it be great if we could eat, drink lemon water and lose weight? I think so too. But science says; If you have enough physical activity and take enough vitamin C, your fat burning increases by 30%. So, as you can see, lemon water did not turn out to be a magic wand and you are left with me again ☺

Sir, I drink 20 glasses of unsweetened tea a day, but you tell me you are thirsty every week, why? Because ; Although coffee, tea and other drinks containing caffeine meet the fluid needs, they cause more fluid loss by producing more urine due to their diuretic effect. We meet our needs; We provide it from 3 sources: drinks, nutrients and metabolism. Water is formed as a result of the burning of nutrients in food. The frequency of water consumption, which I tell each of my clients many times in order to eliminate harmful substances in the body and maintain body fluid balance, is as follows;
1 GLASS OF WATER WHEN YOU WAKE UP
1 GLASS OF WATER WHEN YOU SLEEP
1 GLASS OF WATER 30 MINUTES BEFORE MAIN AND Snack Meals
1 GLASS OF WATER AFTER EVERY SINK... In short, 1 glass of water every hour... Of course, this is not valid if we have a health problem such as kidney failure or heart failure. We may need to limit the amount because it dilutes sodium. Drinking too much water during meals can dilute stomach acid and cause digestive problems. Electrolyte loss occurs with excessive water consumption. This causes health problems by disrupting the intra- and extracellular fluid balances. Also, excessive thirst may be a sign of diabetes and absorption problems in the large intestine. Be careful!!
A healthy person loses 1.5 liters of fluid per day through the kidneys (urine), and approximately 1 liter through breathing (300 ml), sweating - skin (500 ml), intestines (200 ml). If the urine color is dark yellow, we clearly drank less water than we should have that day. If it is clear / light - pale yellow, it means we have consumed enough fluid.
Label reading is very important for us here too. The pH of the water we drink should be alkaline, that is, 7.5-8.5. For this, water; With lemon, fresh mint and fresh ginger, we increase the antioxidant content and repel flu, burn fat and flavor it.

Sir, don't drink less, don't drink too much, how much water should I drink?
Health status, exercise status, temperature and humidity, Conditions such as flu, diarrhea, urinary tract infections, pregnancy or breastfeeding... are all personal, and of course there is no universal formula and liter calculation for everyone.
STAY HEALTHY, DON'T STAY THIRTY …
