HOW MUCH WATER SHOULD YOU DRINK A DAY

HOW MUCH WATER SHOULD YOU DRINK A DAY

One of the most common questions people ask at hospitals and medical clinics is how much water should I drink every day. It is not an easy task to give a straight answer to this question. Mainly because people are different, some skinny some over weight and some tall and some short. If you asked a medical doctor he would probably hand you a small cup to give him a sample of your urine. The urine tells the doctor a lot about you. Dark yellow urine means your kidneys are suffering while doing their job and that they are not getting enough water to flush the system. check your own urine color and see for yourself. If your urine a dark yellow color, ask yourself this question do you go to the bathroom during the day? How about the night time. If your answer is rarely you definitely need to drink more water. If you’ve followed all that, there are other rules to follow…
• Never drink standing up.
• Always drink water before each meal.
• Do not drink after meals immediately because that would dilute the chemicals
your stomach adds to digest the food.
• If you started eating always save a space for your liquids later.
• Making soda drinks replace your liquid intake will make your kidneys work harder
than it would if all your liquids were just water.
• Regardless of how much you adore your stupid dog, never share a cup, bottle or
any anything with your animal. Assign a different container for your wife.
