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.

Please find here some information regarding Hydration Level (Following Harvard Health University Website) :

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 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. As you can see in Food Diet Schedule (Link).

If we look at the breakfast eating bread it’s very good. we just have to remember bread it is also lot of “Fiber” also call as “Carbohydrate” it can increase naturally our transit reducing water Vitamin absorption from the Gut.

But Carbohydrate and Fiber are also know to be important to be eaten everyday in practically every meal helping the body important function following Link and Schema :

Transit :

Transit is something complex to maintain as an “Equilibrium” we have Theoretically to go to the Toilette to Poo Once a day.

There is some advices given to be able follow this guideline more easily, our ability to Poo is more important that what we think.

Julia Enders explain in her book “Gut – The Inside Story of Our Body” explain if we are the type of person that is able to Poo Once Day without too much difficulty we are part of the category of people that will have reduce risk of “Sickness” related to the “Gut”.

Some books or health Website explain us also theoretically we have to do around 29 Cm of Poo Every day once or two times.

If we are not able to go to the toilette during 3 days it mean we are Constipated, If we are going more than once a day it mean we have Diarrhoea.

If Diarrhoea are recurrent and we don’t know why, it is recommended to contact our Doctors cause it be can dangerous if it occur every day it can create lot of problem.

Vomiting is also important to be check by the Doctor quickly if it occur without any reason.

Food Helping Transit :

The Psylium is a Food Supplement known to protect the Gut Barrier it help in case of Diarrhoa to reduce our transit naturally but also help to Accelerate our Transit if we are constipated.

The Psylium is a sort of rest of grain originary from Asian Country (India and Pakistan) this plant is very well known since centuries for good benefic action on the Gut Barrier.

It’s a plant recommended for people with Chrone Disease. It can be easily without prescription however I recommend you to discuss about it with your doctors, because it might have some side effect known as for example risk of Gut Absorption reduction in some situation.

We recommend if we have Medical Treatment to wait 2 or 3 hours before to take our medication permitting better absorption.

Something helping the Transit also to Accelerate it in the natural way is to take 2 Kiwis. That is known to help the transit. ( There is other Food Product permitting this possibility but be careful to have variation in this process to avoid too much risk (Kiwi seed are known to increase risk of allergy) )

Coffee, Chicory and some sort of Tea are also known to help to accelerate the Transit.

Food Reducing Transit :

If we have Diarrhoea, Eating Natural Rice ( White or Semi Whole Grain ) is something recommended, In this type of situation we have to protect our Gut Bacteria but also Liver.

We should avoid all Food Intolerance or Heavy/Fat product to avoid tiring our Liver. Our liver have to be protected for his Detox function helping against infection.

Salt is also well known to reduce transit when we are eating Sea Food or Salty Product.

Salt:

“Salt Excess” is not very good for health it can destroy slowly our Kidneys ( Salt basically as Sugar is known to be one of the most important ingredient in our diet affecting our health) It increase Dehydration but also Hypertension and can generate Kidneys Failure,

Kidney can be compared to “Lace” getting destruct slowly with times and wrong habits. The way to avoid this destruction is only to keep good hydration level as much as possible “And” if possible do our best to avoid “Excess” of Salt.

(It’s an in between we have to be careful constantly not cross the limit 3g maximum by day of Salt intake. This limit can be cross quite easily cause Salt is helping to increase Taste but also use for food conservation, Ultra Process Food contain globally too much Salt it’s also the reason why recommend to buy Food “Raw” and preparing meal ourself ).

If we increase our consumption of “Fish” and/or “Crustacea” we also have to be careful, cause indirectly it’s also increasing our Salt Consumption without even realising about it.

To re-verify our global consumption of Salt Every day scanning each product sometimes help to calculate or verify if the amount of salt is in correct level showing Green or Red Status) More information on Yuka Scan App page of the website :

Something to know also is eating too much Salty food “AND” Too high amount of Potassium can also be unhealthy following link Diet and Hydration it can increase 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 our dehydration and more we get dehydrated more our Body Energy get reduced.

We do not realise but muscles, even by simply walking, consume a lot of water… if our brain get suddenly Foggy or Over Thinking as “Turning in a Loop” it’s generally cause “something is missing” something have not done properly regarding Healthy Lifestyle 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, it’s like Tiredness basically taking few days to recover as Hydration Process Recovery.

Basicaly Hydration, Eating Well, Sleeping are Healthy Lifestyle Factor helping our body to recover, it also helping us to stay focus.

We might also sometimes thinking Drinking is sufficient to stay healthy, but it’s one of the factor of being healthy Sleeping is as much important as Hydrating ourself

It’s like Matrix Table with lot of factors concurring all together in the same time. Wellbeing 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 wellbeing 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 sens 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.
