We often hear that it is important to drink water, since it gives us many benefits for health, but we know how and when to do it correctly?
It is important to know this information, since the way determines that it is beneficial or harmful for the organism.
In fasting, essential
Drink one or two glasses of water in fasting we help cleanse toxins that have been in our digestive tract and at the same time gently activates our bodies so that they begin to operate. Just do it at least 20 minutes before breakfast, and is much healthier than start the day by drinking a coffee, for example.
In addition, if we drink it warm or hot, including adding the juice of half a lemon, activate our intestines, so it is an excellent and simple remedy to treat constipation.
It is also highly recommended to do so if in the morning we woke up with fluid retention, with the face or puffy eyelids, to make the kidneys start to operate also.
Hunger or thirst?
Do you know that many times we think that we are hungry and really thirsty? Sometimes we don't interpret the signals our body, and this is especially important if we are to control our weight. For this reason we recommend a very simple thing: whenever we have hunger will drink a glass of water. If after a few minutes, still have hunger, we then eat. But can surprise us that often hunger will simply disappear.
Half an hour before meals to eat less
If half an hour before you eat, drink a glass of water, in addition to avoiding having so much thirst in the food, also act as a light filling, which will prevent us to eat in excess.
Do not drink a lot in food
In the same way that it is important to drink throughout the day, should avoid drinking completely during the meal, because the water interferes with the gastric juices and it may worsen digestion. In addition, in the case of children it can remove appetite.
If the food is salty or tasty we can drink a little, and that can help us include fresh food like salads or gazpacho at each meal, reduce salt consumption, finish the meal with a digestive infusion and drink before eating.
A glass before going to sleep
We have started the day drinking and also finish it, with a glass of warm water to prepare the body for the rest. In fact you can also an infusion of medicinal plants.
We will avoid this Council if the evenings we have much need to urinate, if we suffer incontinence or in the case of small children.
Do not drink large amounts of blow
We recommend to drink throughout the day we refer to small SIPs every so often, and not large quantities at once. This is especially recommended when it is very hot, when we practice sport, etc.
The water... cold, hot or warm?
Even in the desert, the Berber drink hot tea because that makes them sweat and therefore cooling. So should always drink warm or hot water. In any case, we will never recommend cold water, since it can affect our digestive system, which will be altered its natural hot temperature necessary for digestion.
How much should you drink?
A liter and a half? Two liters? We must not give any information by definitive until we learn to listen to our body. Is not the same the summer than the winter, a child to an adult, a person who sweats with ease to another not sweating, a vegetarian person one that eating much animal protein, etc. At first hard to get us to drink water continuously, but when we start we'll realize that the body will ask us for the amount of fluid you need.
If it costs us...
Costs many people drink water. A very easy trick is to Add a dash of lemon juice and a few drops of purified stevia. With this simple detail we give water a delicious lemonade flavor without adding calories or other substances.
Another option is to add a drop of citrus essential oil (lemon, Orange, Tangerine, grapefruit...) suitable for consumption.
Infusions are also a good alternative for alternate with natural water.
