Why Hydration is Good for Health? And why we should keep good Hydration?

Hydration” is very important for Human Body, “Drinking” help to stay Focus, but help also to stay healthy permitting our Kidney and Liver to work at “Their Best“.

Doctors in Europe recommend to Drink 2L of Water a day (at least), in some country it’s even more 3L of Water a day and if we do Sports it’s even more we have to adapt our hydration accordingly.

We do not realise but depending what we eat, it can affect a lot our hydration level :

A “Grilled Toast” in the morning, is influencing much more our Hydration level than Eating Cereal as Porridge for example. It can also depend what we have eaten the day before and even few days before if it was very salty. To have correct level of Hydration, we have to hydrate ourself during few days, it take also few days to get back “Recharged” or “Fully Hydrated”. We have to Hydrate ourself and have rest for our muscle to be able to recover basically.

Something to know also is when we wake up, in the Morning it’s the moment of the day we are the most dehydrated, drinking in the morning is something very important.

You can find in Food Diet Schedule the importance of drinking something in the morning (Link).

If we look at the breakfast Eating Bread it’s very good. we just have to remember bread is representing lot of “Fibre” also call as “Carbohydrate” that’s very good for muscle but can also increase Transit reducing “Vitamin Absorption” but also “Increase Dehydration“.

Carbohydrate and Fiber have to be eaten everyday in practically every meal (Link) helping the body natural function.

When you Focus on Hydration you realise the importance of what you do, not only about the Hydration Level but also about regarding Diet. We also realise the importance about Transit. More information following (Link)

Something we also have to know is eating too much “Salty Food” “AND” “Too High Amount of Potassium” can also be unhealthy following (Link) with increase of Headache and Vomiting Symptoms.

In objective to find the influence of our Hydration in our Health depending our Activities, Anita Bean give us a nice overview schema :

( Anita Bean – “The Complete Guide to Sports Nutrition” – https://anitabean.co.uk/my-books/ )

All this step are occurring during Dehydration and more we get Dehydrated more our Body Energy get reduced.

We do not realise but muscles, even by “Simply Walking“, consume “Lot of Water“… if our brain get suddenly Foggy or Over Thinking as “Turning in a Loop” it’s generally cause “something is missing in our Diet” Something have not been done properly regarding Diet during the last few Days.

This schema give us information depending activity but you can also understand the Dehydration Process can occur during multiple days.

Basically Hydration, Eating, Sleeping well after exercising are Healthy Lifestyle Factor helping our body to recover, it’s also good way to stay Focus and Healthy.

We might also sometimes think Drinking only 2L of water a day, is sufficient to stay healthy, but it’s only one factor of being healthy there is then other things to do after, Sleeping, Eating, Exercising … are also really important and so on.

Christoph Andre mention in his Book “Our Brain like to do what is good for ourself” I interpret it as if we start to take care about ourself, our body will like this and it will be naturally coming as good habits.

But you have to be careful constantly on what you do. It’s like a Matrix Table with lot of factors in concurrence all together in the same time. Well-being has a lot of Factors to take in account to be able to be fine in the end.

Something that can help us to monitor our well-being is when we are getting more active it’s buying “Smart Watch” or “Fitness Watch” it permit to send us some alert. Cause when we get dehydrated our heart is beating much more than usual and our body temperature will then arrive much more quickly to Over Heat status.

As you can see in the Anita Schema previously. Over Heat Body depend of our activity and Hydration but is also something we have to avoid if possible. Stopping our activity trying to hydrate ourself.

Our watch can also help in that sense to let us know if our Heart is beating too High and also amount of Fluid we are Drinking.

When it is the best moment to Drink ? and How ?

To keep Good Hydration level there is some tips and tricks we can learn.

We generally think drinking during meal or at the restaurant, it’s ok, whereas it is not good so much for digestive process. (At least, its good to be aware about it, not to do it every day).

The reason why is when we are drinking during meal, it dilute the stomach digestive process (Saliva and Gastric Secretion) which normally help food to be pre-digested and prepared for the gut digestive process and absorption.

We recommended to only “Sip” Some Water during meal if we have difficulty to swallow, or having medical treatment.

But we should Theoretically not Drink so much anything waiting the end of digestion process :

  • Drinking 1h, 1h30 at least after each meal

Something to know also as “Best moment to drink a coffee” would correspond to the “Morning Break” (Around 10 or 11 AM). Because its the morning the body will have better reaction related to the coffee not only cause of caffeine.

David Servan-Schreiber is advising in his book to drink a lot of Tea. Some peoples might have some difficulty to drink Tea or Coffee (Cause of Caffeine) but even without Drinking Tea we have to keep reminding Drinking Water Every Day in correct level. It’s seems Coffee and Tea are well known to helps to get hydrated more easily, possibly because there is specific moment during the day as Coffee Break or Tea times dedicate for it.

When we realise we are dehydrated, it’s generally long hours after being dehydrated (Stress and Hydration level are quite linked together). Our Stress Generally increase if we practice lot of Sports but sports is also helping to Relax and help to have a Better Sleep.

My feedback is to keep Good Hydration level constantly as Healthy Lifestyle Good Factors, To Keep good Hydration we have to changed our habits sometimes, it can be compared to an “Hydration Marathon”. But you will notice very good result even after few day, for your Mood and Body Energy.

Remember also Coffee, Tea, Chicory, and other Herbal Infusion are well know to contain natural Detox Agent helping our Health to improve with good action on the body. Drinking Tea is more and more known for the Good Action against Cancer and other Sickness.
