What You're Thirsting For
The Revitalizing Properties of Water
Part 2
by Susie Michelle Cortright

If you're physically active, calculate: ( _your body weight_x .67) + (_cups of coffee, etc._)x 8) = daily intake in ounces

If you aren't physically active, calculate: ( _your body weight_ x .67) + (_cups of coffee, etc._) x 8) = daily intake in ounces

As with most major lifestyle changes, check with your doctor before significantly changing your water intake. Certain medical conditions call for restricted or increased water consumption.

When you first begin to re-hydrate, you may feel like you're spending all of your time in the bathroom. Just wait it out. Within a few weeks, your body will adjust and you will urinate less frequently. Just avoid heavy water intake right before bed to avoid midnight trips to the bathroom, which can interfere with sleep patterns.

Overcoming Your Inertia

Here are some common excuses for not getting enough water:

"I'm not thirsty"

You may notice that, when you drink more water, you find yourself thirsty, but, when you live on caffeinated soda, you're not thirsty at all.

The truth is, thirst is not a good indicator of water deprivation. A lack of thirst may actually signal dehydration, and "dry mouth" thirst is a sign of extreme dehydration.

When your body is deprived of water, it adjusts by disabling the body's thirst sensor. Once you start hydrating yourself, thirst kicks in again.

"I don't like water"

Here are some tips for downing the day's water:

* Make it readily available. Keep a water bottle in your car and at your desk. Stash another bottle in your bag and carry it with you.

* Liven up ordinary water with a squirt of lime or lemon juice. Sometimes, I add a splash of fruit juice to the water. Try to go easy on the juice, though. Most juices are high in sugar, which adds calories and stimulates the pancreas.

* Purchase an inexpensive water filter, such as the Brita water filter. For about $30, you can enjoy great tasting water all the time. Plus, when you have cold, refreshing water ready in the fridge, you'll be more likely to pour yourself a glass.

* Find an elegant container. Every drink looks more refreshing in an elegant crystal goblet.

* Know thyself. How is water made most appealing to you? Do you prefer an ice-cold glass with fresh lemon slices? Then make sure it's easy to prepare.

* Experiment. Put a glass mug in the freezer before bed or freeze a half-filled water bottle, and fill it with water before you go out for the day. Then enjoy the cold water as the ice thaws.

When you are properly hydrated, you'll experience an energy boost and you may find that you eat less, too.
