Healthy Living - Three Reasons Why You Should Focus On Hydration

By Beverleigh H Piepers

Looking to boost your hydration? If not, it is time to rethink that. Nearly everyone needs to get more fluids into their day, and this fluid should come primarily from water. Often people eat when they are just thirsty. Drinking sufficient amounts of fluid helps to prevent this kind of overeating and has many other benefits as well. Fluid fills the stomach for a short time, and it gives you something to digest that does not necessarily contain calories.

So many of us are walking around in a chronically dehydrated state, and this can be the cause of many health problems. There are several reasons why you need to get your water intake up, but let us look at three of the most important ones right now...

1. It Improves Physical Performance. Want to go that extra mile in the gym? Try drinking more water. As little as 1% dehydration can have negative impacts on your strength output, so it pays to get your fluids in.

Many people know it is essential to drink water after a workout session since you have been sweating, but what they forget is it is as important to go into their workout well hydrated.

Drink water before you hit the gym for better results.

2. It may Help Reduce Cancer. Cancer is one of the most devastating diseases, and yet, it can be prevented to some degree. Eating the right foods and drinking enough water is essential.

Dehydration can be linked to an increased risk of developing colon or bladder cancer, so if those run in your family, you will want to put as much focus as you can on meeting your 8 to 10 glasses of water a day quota. If your urine is a pale yellow color, this is a sign you are well hydrated.

3. It Can Enhance Your Energy Level. Finally, the last reason to drink more water is it can help to boost your overall energy level as well. Those who are in a state of dehydration will notice decrements in their endurance as well as their whole day energy level.

If you feel fatigued and do not feel like doing much of anything, try drinking more water. It may help you remedy the situation.

This list is by no means exhaustive. There are many other reasons to increase your water intake so do your best to increase the number of glasses you drink each day. Carry a water bottle with you wherever you go, and you will find it is easier than you may think.

Although managing your disease can be very challenging, Type 2 diabetes is not a condition you must just live with. You can make simple changes to your daily routine and lower both your weight and your blood sugar levels. Hang in there, the longer you do it, the easier it gets.
