Staying Hydrated Throughout Winter
Thrive Magazine|Winter 2016

As Humans We Are Made Up of About 70% Water. We Need Water for Survival and Without It We Would Be in Serious Trouble. Without Proper Hydration We Simply Would Not Have Enough Energy to Get Through the Day and Our Body Wouldn’t Be Able to Function Properly.

Staying Hydrated Throughout Winter

We all need water to produce saliva and to help digest the food that we eat. We also need it for internal body regulation, flushing out and detoxifying the body and for proper brain and liver function. A basic guideline is to aim to drink 1 litre per 50lbs of bodyweight and that’s before exercise.

Keeping the body hydrated also helps the heart to pump blood through the blood vessels and to the muscles more easily. Plus, it helps the muscles work efficiently. So the next time you go to the gym don’t forget your water bottle!

Remember if we don’t drink enough water we could become dehydrated, which can have a significant consequence and could hinder your health - like loss of energy or coordination. You know the saying if you feel hungry you’re more likely to be thirsty!

Throughout the Summer months it’s easier to remember to drink more water, if the sun is shining we tend to up our fluid intake and many of us tend to do more exercise during the Summer. But, it’s absolutely vital to remember to rehydrate during the Winter months too.

During Winter we tend to turn central heating up to the max and move less too. So, just because we aren’t feeling sweaty, doesn’t mean we don’t need to reach for some water.

Is Sugar Becoming The New Fat?

Is Sugar Becoming The New Fat?

Fat has been demonised since the 1970s when the US made hasty recommendations that people should reduce their fat intake. Cardiovascular deaths were rising - something had to be done. Supermarkets and food companies jumped on board offering low and reduced fat products. A few decades later, we are now more overweight than ever, with type 2 diabetes on the rise and cardiovascular disease remaining the number one killer worldwide.
