Drinking regime in practice

Drinking is very important. Headaches, dark urine, fatigue and a general decrease in energy are among the early symptoms of a neglected or improper drinking regime. If you observe them in yourself, beware.

Long-term lack of fluids, not only on hot summer days, can lead to dehydration and even total body failure.

According to expert recommendations, an adult should drink at least 2.5 liters of water a day. However, this amount can vary depending on the weight and health of the individual person, as well as the current weather. To replenish fluids, plain water or mineral water is most suitable. Sweetened drinks not only contain too many calories, but also sugar, which thickens the blood unnecessarily. Thus, trying to fight off thirst and fatigue with lemonade can make the condition even worse. However, a proper drinking regime is essential for the functioning of the body; among other things, water is used to flush out toxins and harmful products of metabolism from the body. So what should you be careful of?

Drinking: Drink even when you are not thirsty

Especially in summer, when temperatures soar to tropical levels even in our latitudes, drinking is essential. This is especially true for seniors, who do not pay much attention to it. As the years go by, the body naturally loses its sense of thirst.

A litre at a time won’t help

The hectic way of life takes its toll on a daily basis, not only in our diet, but also in our drinking regime. In the flood of tasks and responsibilities, we often forget not only to eat, but also to drink. We then try to catch up either in the morning before leaving work or in the evening after arriving home. However, our body cannot be fooled in this way. Even if you drink, for example, a litre of water immediately after waking up, i.e. almost half of the recommended amount, it does not mean that you will not experience symptoms of dehydration before lunch. The body naturally eliminates it more quickly.

Water in excess does not harm a healthy person

Recently, the so-called “hydration” has become more and more popular in the context of drinking. “Overdrinking”- a condition when the body is no longer able to adequately use the water it has taken in and excrete the unnecessary residue. However, in a healthy person with a healthy kidney, heart and liver function, there is no such risk. The body can cope with more fluid; however, beware that this is only true of water or unsweetened tea. Litres of sugary lemonade, energy drinks or even mineral water will put an unnecessary strain on the body.

Soup yes, alcohol and coffee no

Including soup in your drinking regime is especially recommended for people who have trouble getting enough water. Fluid in this form also contributes to a certain extent to “watering” the body. However, it must be a light, watery soup – ideally a vegetable broth, for example. Conversely, alcoholic drinks, which are popular during the summer (cold beer, wine shots), should not be included in the daily fluid intake. Their consumption has exactly the opposite effect and dehydrates the body.

Adherence to a drinking regime and other healthy lifestyle principles are the key to maintaining robust health and vitality.
