Health Tip #1


Drinking 8-10 cups / 3.5litres of water a day is important for the human body. Avoid carbonated drinks or drinks which contain high sugar level. Replace sweet drinks with natural sweetener like cane sugar or brown sugar for a better option for sweet taste or grab a glass of fresh fruit juices. Do not leave fresh fruit juice out for too long, best is to have fruits consume immediately after juicing. 

Why is drinking water important?

1. Drinking Water Helps Maintain the Balance of Body Fluids. 
Our body is composed of about 60% water. The functions of these bodily fluids include digestion, absorption, circulation, creation of saliva, transportation of nutrients, and maintenance of body temperature.
When you're low on fluids, the brain triggers the body's thirst mechanism. And unless you are taking medications that make you thirsty. Listen to those cues and get yourself a drink of water, juice, milk, coffee -- anything but alcohol and highly sugar contained drinks
# Alcohol interferes with the brain and kidney communication and causes excess excretion of fluids which can then lead to dehydration
2. Water Can Help Control Calories
For years, dieters have been drinking lots of water as a weight loss strategy. While water doesn't have any magical effect onweight loss, substituting it for higher calorie beverages can certainly help.
"What works with weight loss is if you choose water or a non-caloric beverage over a caloric beverage and/or eat a diet higher in water-rich foods that are healthier, more filling, and help you trim calorie intake," says Penn State researcher Barbara Rolls, PhD, author of The Volumetrics Weight Control Plan
