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

Hydration is very important for the human body. Drinking water helps us stay focused and healthy by supporting the proper function of our kidneys and liver.

Doctors in Europe recommend drinking at least 2 liters of water per day. In some countries, the recommendation is even higher up to 3 liters daily. If we engage in sports or physical activity, we need to adapt our hydration accordingly.

We often don’t realize it, but what we eat can significantly affect our hydration levels:

For example, having grilled toast in the morning can impact hydration more than eating cereals like porridge. It can also depend on what we ate the day before—or even a few days before—especially if the meals were high in salt. To maintain proper hydration levels, we need to hydrate consistently over several days. It also takes a few days to feel “recharged” or “fully hydrated.” Hydration and rest are both necessary for our muscles to recover properly.

Something else to know: when we wake up in the morning, it’s the time of day we are most dehydrated. Drinking water in the morning is very important. You can find more about this in food and diet schedules (Link).

When it comes to breakfast, eating bread can be beneficial. However, we should remember that bread is high in fiber, also known as a carbohydrate. While carbohydrates and fiber are good for muscle function, they can also increase bowel transit time, which may reduce vitamin absorption and contribute to dehydration.

Carbohydrates and fiber should be included in almost every meal to support the body’s natural functions (Link) (Link).

When you focus on hydration, you begin to understand not only your hydration level but also how your diet affects your overall health and digestion. We also realize how important intestinal transit is. More information to follow (Link).

Another important point: Eating too much salty food, and especially consuming excessive amounts of potassium, can be unhealthy and increase the risk of symptoms like headaches and vomiting (Link).

Anita Bean provides a helpful overview chart that shows the impact of hydration and activity on our health:

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

You can notice more we get Dehydrated more our Body Energy get reduced. Our Hallucination, Anxiety and stress level can increase much more depending our level of activity and hydration.

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

It is also important to realise the Dehydration process can occur gradually over several days.

Healthy Lifestyle (Eating, Hydrating, Sleeping) will help our body to recover in consequence, helping to stay Focus and Healthy.

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 will come more easily as good habits to carry on.

But we have to be careful constantly on what we do. It’s basically as 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 monitor our well-being is exploring new possibilities with Smartwatches or Fitness watches. These devices can send us alerts for example, if we become dehydrated, our heart rate may increase significantly, and our body temperature can rise more quickly, potentially leading to overheating. The Smart and Fitness watches can send alert to make you realise you heart is beating too quickly … This allows you to realize when you need to take a break to hydrate for example. You can also receive alerts after each exercise session, reminding you to hydrate, even after a simple walk.

As you can see in the Anita Schema previously. Over Heat Body depend about our activity and Hydration level but if something let us know our Heart is beating too high it permit to Stop our activity and Hydrate ourself to reduce our Body Temperature and so on…

Our Watch can also permit to monitor manually the amount of Fluid we are Drinking by also sending alert after exercising or at specific moment of the day.

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, is ok, whereas it is not very good for digestive process. (At least, its good to know about it, not doing it every day).

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

We recommend to only “Sip” Some Water during meal if for exemple we have some difficulty to swallow, or we have to take a medical treatment.

And we should Theoretically not Drink anything, waiting the end of Digestion Process :

• Drinking only 1h, 1h30 (at least) after each meal

Something good to know also is following some study the “Best moment of the day to drink a coffee“, would correspond to the “Morning Break” (Between 10 or 11 AM). The body would have better reaction probably because of the night and digestion process.

David Servan-Schreiber is advising in his book to Drink lot of Tea. Some peoples might have some difficulty (Probably because of the Caffeine) but even without Drinking Tea we have to keep Drinking 2L Water Every Day.

Tea and Coffee would helps to get hydrated more easily, following some study.

Something good to know also is when we realise we are thirsty, we want to drink, it’s generally long hours after being dehydrated. Meaning also to not wait to thirsty to drink.

Increasing activity help also to Relax and have a Better Sleep but Our Stress, Anxiety can also increase if we practice lot of Sports. (Importance then to hydrate and eat correctly accordingly activity this mean also to not wait long after starting our activity).

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.
