The Importance of Water and the Dehydration Epidemic

The Importance of Water and the Dehydration Epidemic A recent Harvard study shows 25% of children said they didn’t drink any water in a day, choosing sports drink, soda and juice instead. While that is concerning, it’s even scarier to see that 75% of American adults are in a chronic state of dehydration. Often, many people think dehydration comes from extreme heat or physical exertion but that is inaccurate. It happens when we don’t hydrate our bodies sufficiently for daily living. Most people aren’t even aware they are dehydrated. Water is vital to our overall health and longevity but most Americans don’t consume enough

Water is essential to every single process within our bodies. Our brain is 78% water. Water carries vital oxygen to our brains. Our muscles are 75% water. Your blood, responsible for transporting nutrients throughout your body is 82% water. Your lungs, that take oxygen from the air to provide your body with oxygen, are 90% water. Even your bones are 25% water. Water serves as a lubricant, a base for saliva and fluids surrounding the joints. Additionally, it regulates the body temperature, eliminates waste and regulates metabolism. Dehydration causes muscle weakness, poor mental performance, headaches, sluggishness and more. Americans tend to consume many beverages throughout the day but not nearly enough water. Most Americans consume more dehydrating than hydrating beverages. Dehydrating liquids include soda, coffee, tea and alcohol. These dehydrating liquids counteract hydrating liquids. This means that we need to compensate for each dehydrating beverage we consume. Unfortunately, this doesn’t happen in the majority of people.

The Journal of Nutrition recently found that bad moods typically start with a lack of hydration. Women studied showed more anger, frustration, depression and annoyance when they are dehydrated.Additionally, when you are dehydrated, your saliva stops producing, which results in an abundance of bacteria, leading to bad breath. Most dentists recommend drinking more water to their patients with halitosis. Furthermore, as we age, our body’s thirst mechanism doesn’t work as well. This means it is easier for older adults to become dehydrated and be completely unaware.

Levels of Dehydration

1% dehydration leads to thirst

2% dehydration leads to feelings of anxiety, reduced appetite, and reduced energy by 20%

4% dehydration leads to nausea, dizziness, emotional instability and fatigue.

6% dehydration leads to loss of coordination and coherence of speech

10% dehydration cells begin to die

11% dehydration cannot be fixed simply by drinking water. The balance of the organism has undergone serious cellular changes and requires a medical professional.

20% dehydration may lead to death Warning Signs of Dehydration

Early signs of dehydration:

fatigue

irritability

exhaustion

depression

cravings

cramps

headaches

Mature signs of dehydration include:

heartburn

joint back pain

migraine headaches

fibromyalgia

constipation

colitis

anginal pain

Emergency symptoms of dehydration include:

asthma

allergies

hypertension

autoimmune disorders like Lupus and Psoriasis

Tips for staying hydrated:

1) Drink ½ an ounce of water daily for every pound you weigh. A 150 lb person needs to drink 75 ounces. One glass every hour is a good rule of thumb.

2) Avoid diuretic beverages that flush water out of your bodies such as caffeinated coffee, tea, soda or alcohol.

3)Start your day with ½ to 1 quart of water to flush your digestive tract and rehydrate your system from the overnight fast.

4)Drink water at regular intervals throughout the day and don’t wait until you are thirsty.

5)Get in the habit of carrying water with you or keeping it on your desk. Convenience makes it much easier to consume.

6)Drink a glass of water before each meal and have a beverage with each snack.

7)When you are stressed or engaged in physical activity drink more water.

8)Every six ounces of caffeine or alcohol requires an additional 10 to 12 ounces to rehydrate you.

9)Avoid drinking ice water.Icy cold water requires your body to heat up more to bring it to a more suitable temperature.

10)Eat more fruits and vegetables. They have a higher water content. About 20% of fluid intake comes from food.

Healthy habits of the truly successful

Successful people inspire us, they live the life that we want. We read and hear about their success stories and are bolstered to try harder, to dig deeper, to imagine and build the life we’ve always dreamed of. But what are the details behind the scene? What is the minutiae of a business moguls daily life? What habits helped them become so successful?

We at M.Network compiled a list of habits that helped make these people the business leaders they are, including Richard Branson, Oprah Winfrey, and Mark Zuckerberg. From practiced ideas to morning routines, these are all easily applied to your daily life.

Live by the schedule, die by the schedule.This means planning out your day, your week, your month. You need to maximize your productiveness, while still being able to give time to the other facets of your life. Future you will be very grateful.
Speaking of schedule’s, you’ll need a morning routine. Something like a ritual or a strict regime, however it works for you, make it work for you. The way you start your day dictates how you react to the remainder of it. Things like making the bed every morning, while sounding silly, can boost your cognitive thinking, and assure that the rest of your routine falls into place.
Meditation.
Usually this conjures a image of monks or kabahlist sitting and ohming with their eyes closed. Which may not be for you, but meditiation can be simply sitting, clearing your mind, and breathing deep. It may not be in the morning, and not the sitting cross legged on a windy hill top (although if that works for you, by all means) But taking 10 minutes a day to simply sit, lie, or stand still and breath deeply has been shown to lower stress and settle the mind.
Keeping your body healthy is imperative, your body is

the tool with which you assail life, and to be successful you need energy, you need to be thinking clearly and concisely. Eating healthy helps achieve this, and is a vital part of success. Exercise is also a key component of overall health. Even if it’s only for ten minutes, get your body moving. This helps to wake you up, gives you energy, and helps work the muscles. Healthy bodies work longer and harder, remember that.
Plan your day.

Not just appointments, but what you are doing all day. This may seem exhausting at first, but time management is not only crucial for running a business, but it helps minimize stress. When you have a plan your brain wants to execute it. Write it down, put it in your phone, whatever it takes.
Surround yourself with success.

Take stock of the people you spend the most time with. They should be others who have achieved or are striving to achieve their goals. People that make you want to be a better person, a better business owner. When you surround yourself with these people, not only do you strive to be more like them, they affirm you are on the right path.
GOAL SETTING
We all talk about goals, especially around the new year. But they can be fickle, and need to be approached with clarity and aplomb. Write your goals, and write them in chronological order. But making them realistic needs to be your focus. Want your business to be successful? Figure out the time frame for that to happen then set a monetary goal. Life goals, business goals, health goals. Write them all down. But here's the trick, don't tell anyone your goals. Our brains betray us in a way, when we tell others our goals our brain gives us a little shot of dopamine and adrenaline. It tricks our brains into thinking we have already achieved them.
BE THANKFUL

Gratitude is the gift that keeps on giving. Expressing your gratitude for even the little things puts your brain in a positive mindset. The bonus, when you do achieve a goal, it feels that much better.
Take a notebook with you wherever you go. Not a cell, not a tablet, not a computer. These tend to distract us, and the physical act of writing our thoughts cement them more clearly in our minds.
